GameCenter Details

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on GameCenter for me. I am creating my first multi-user application, and I wonder if I can capture the data and create my own interface with it ...

Basically I want to use my own user interface to show the current games that you are playing, if you are waiting for a turn or, if you want, a turn, etc. with some other details from the game. Is it possible? Or can we only access current games through the GameCenter interface?

Also, if I can hide it, or at least capture the data and skin myself. Is it possible to build an application around the GameCenter using as few GameCenter UI features as possible? I just want the user to be included in my gaming environment, and not immediately rush into GameCenter every few clicks. It makes sense?

Any insight appreciated! Thank you very much!

Can you do this. The approach is to get all the data needed to display a UITableView with games in progress. To show here, the code for a fully customized gamecenter turn-based view will be long. Perhaps you understood the concept if you look at the code compressed for the table:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) {
        NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MatchCell" owner:self options:nil];
        cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
    }

    GKTurnBasedMatch *match = [[allMyMatches objectAtIndex:indexPath.section ] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    MatchCell *c = (MatchCell *)cell;
    c.match = match;
    c.delegate = self;
    if ([match.matchData length] > 0) {
        NSString *storyString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[match.matchData bytes]];
        c.storyText.text = storyString;
        int days = -floor([match.creationDate timeIntervalSinceNow] / (60 * 60 * 24));
        c.statusLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Story started %d days ago and is about %d words", days, [storyString length] / 5];
    }

    if (indexPath.section == 2) {
        [c.quitButton setTitle:@"Remove" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [c.quitButton setTitle:@"Remove" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    }

    return cell;
}
