Aligning CCMenu to a grid

Question

Does anybody know the best practice approach to getting an array of CCMenuItems to align to a grid? This is a cocos2d question

For example :

int lev         


        

Answer 1

You just have to call one of the overloaded alignItemsInColumns or alignItemsInRows methods. For example if you have 15 menu items and you want 3 rows of 5 columns, do this:

CCMenu* menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:...];
NSNumber* itemsPerRow = [NSNumber numberWithInt:5];
[menu alignItemsInColumns:itemsPerRow, itemsPerRow, itemsPerRow, nil];

The only down side is that there doesn't seem to be a way to set padding when aligning to a grid.
