    text
    copied!<p>So my menu calls a game with this piece of code:</p> <pre><code>game = [[Game alloc] init]; [self presentModalViewController:memoryTest animated:FALSE]; </code></pre> <p>A UIViewController then appears with a countdown. The player can go back to the menu DURING the countdown. However when I try this, the countdown keeps running and eventually the game starts, even thought the UIViewController has been dismissed (therefore the UIView has disappeared) in the backToMenu method.</p> <pre><code>[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:FALSE]; </code></pre> <p>I've tried to release the game object in the viewDidAppear method of the menu, but no luck. I thought of having a "quit" BOOL value, so the countdown can check wether or not the player has quit the game, but there must be a better way to release an object AND stop all method calls inside it.</p> <p>Thanks for helping me out.</p> <p>CountDown method:</p> <pre><code>- (void)countDown { SoundEffect *sound = [[SoundEffect alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"tick" ofType: @"wav"]]; [sound playAndRelease]; if(self.countDownStep &gt; 0) { feedback.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"countdown%d.png",self.countDownStep]]; feedback.hidden = FALSE; [self performSelector:@selector(countDown) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.8]; } else { [self displayMessage:self.startMessage]; [self.game performSelector:@selector(start) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.8]; [self performSelector:@selector(hide) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.8]; } self.countDownStep--; } </code></pre>
