Animate UILabel text between two numbers?

Question

I\'m new to iPhone and Mac programming (developed for Windows before), and I\'ve got a question:

How do I animate the text property of an UILabel<

Answer 1

I found a great engine for tweening values with a variety of different timing functions called PRTween. Install the classes and create some code along these lines:

- (IBAction)tweenValue
{
    [[PRTween sharedInstance] removeTweenOperation:activeTweenOperation];
    PRTweenPeriod *period = [PRTweenPeriod periodWithStartValue:0.0 endValue:100.0 duration:1.0];
    activeTweenOperation = [[PRTween sharedInstance] addTweenPeriod:period
                                                             target:self
                                                           selector:@selector(update:)
                                                     timingFunction:&PRTweenTimingFunctionCircOut];
}

- (void)update:(PRTweenPeriod*)period
{
    self.animatingView.center = CGPointMake(period.tweenedValue + 100.0, 200.0);
    self.valueLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f", period.tweenedValue];
}

Works a treat for me. :)
