Setup Instructions

  1. Using Cocoapods, add this to your Podfile: 
    pod 'DoodleKit', git https://github.com/crowdcompass.com/DoodleKit.git
  2. Import the DoodleKit header. 
    #import <DoodleKit/DoodleKit.h>
  3. Add the drawing view to your view. 
    DKDoodleView *doodleView = [[DKDoodleView alloc] initWithFrame:theFrame];
doodleView.delegate = self;
[parentView addSubview:doodleView];
  4. Set the tool properties on doodleView, this controls the drawing paths. 
    doodleView.toolType = DKDoodleToolTypePen;
doodleView.lineWidth = 6.0f;
doodleView.lineColor = [UIColor greenColor];

Adding Networking

  1. Configure the iOS app in iTunes Connect to use GameCenter.
  2. Initialize the DKDoodleSessionManager 
    DKDoodleSessionManager *sessionManager = [DKDoodleSessionManager sharedManager];
  3. Authenticate the player in GameCenter. 
    [sessionManager startAuthenticatingLocalPlayer];
  4. Implement the DKDoodleSessionManager delegate protocol, in order to display connectivity status. This is optional.
  5. Implement didStartGame protocol method. This will launch a ViewController that has a DKDoodleView on the view. The view will automatically render drawing on all connected devices.
