iOS Question IGameView questions

[John Sturt]

Hello
I am trying to apply Igameview to a app.
I have been stepping through the smiley example with the bouncing smiley and the scrolling background and have 2 questions.

A panel is declared but no further reference is made to it apart from in the initialization of the gameview.
Why? and why is it needed?

Do i need to declare a background for gameview to work?

Many Thanks.

the panel is needed for the click/touch events I guess

Thank you for that is the background needed to make the gameview work?
Do you have to invalidate the gameview with a Timer Event or can you
just call it manually whenever needed?

I am very short on dev time at the moment and would normally just try this but am unable to do so at the moment. So I am trying to solve some issues before sittting down to code.

Thank you.

1. All the drawings and bitmaps are added to this panel.
2. You can call Invalidate in any way you like.
