ERROR: expected identifier or '(' in xcode ios 5

Question

xcode 4.2 ios 5 single view template

I am very new to this ios format and these new features in xcode

Here is all of my code:

#import "SimpleGame2ViewController.h"

#define kStateRunning 1
#define kStateGameOver 2

#define kLeftDown 1
#define kRightDown 2
#define kTouchesEnded 3

#define kPlatformWidth 55
#define kPlatformHeight 16

#define kMaxBallSpeed 10

#define kJumpPower 9

#define kGravity 0.195

@ implementation SimpleGame2ViewController @ synthesize ball;
@synthesize platform1;
@synthesize platform2;
@synthesize platform3;
@synthesize platform4;
@synthesize platform5;
@synthesize bg;
@synthesize gameState;
@synthesize ballVelocity, gravity;
@synthesize touchState;

    gravity = CGPointMake(0, kGravity);

    [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 1.0 / 60
        target: self
        selector: @selector(gameloop)
        userInfo: nil
        repeats:YES];

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

-(void)gameloop {
    if (gameState == kStateRunning) {
        [self gameStatePlayNormal];
    } else if (gameState == kStateGameOver) {
        ballVelocity.x = 0;
        ballVelocity.y = 0;

        ball.center = CGPointMake(152 + 16, 326 + 16);

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)

    if (gameState == kStateRunning) {
        UITouch *touch =[[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location =[touch locationInView:touch.view];
        if (location.x < (self.view.bounds.size.width / 2)) {
            touchState = kLeftDown;
            ballVelocity.x -= 0.2;
        } else {
            touchState = kRightDown;
            ballVelocity.x += 0.2;
        }

    }
}

-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)

{
    touchState = kTouchesEnded;
}

-(void)viewDidUnload {
    [self setBall:nil];
    [self setPlatform1:nil];
    [self setPlatform2:nil];
    [self setPlatform3:nil];
    [self setPlatform4:nil];
    [self setPlatform5:nil];
    [self setBg:nil];
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL) animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL) animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
}

-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL) animated {
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

-(void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL) animated {
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
}

-(BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation) interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation !=
        UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}

@end

I have the error around

if (CGRectIntersectsRect(ball.frame, platform1.frame)) {
    if (ball.center.y + 8 < platform1.center.y) {
        if (ballVelocity.y > 0) {
            ballVelocity.y = -kJumpPower;
        }
    }
}

I dont know why this is happening

I've run your code through Lindent (a small shell script around the indent(1) program with settings that the Linux kernel developers like; it isn't perfect, but it's a good start).

Once I did this, it was far easier to spot that your series of if (CGRectIntersectsRect(..)) tests aren't actually in any function. They're at the top level of your source.

All statements and expressions must be within a function. (Declarations and global definitions can be at top-level.)

Figure out which function should "own" that series of routines and place them within the function body.
