Game Programming / Re: max number of (smaller) views

« on: August 09, 2013, 02:31:23 am »

Hi, not sure ( I think there is max # views though), but, question:

would it not be a better idea to reuse views ? I guess you are not going to show the entire 5440 grids at once ? You can have an array that holds the value (and items) of all grids, but just display the ones that are currently on screen, if you understand ?

How Do I...? / Re: Adding Email to a Screen..

Hi, have a look at Browser Launch, I dont think you can internaly call from app.

From helpfile you must build your mailto and header like this:
sprintf(URL, "mailto:support@dragonfiresdk.com?subject=Ignore");

and send to browser, probably opening up default email application on device (just guessing here, I have not tried it)

Hi, to get it clear:

your loading 'default' picture comes up, then you get a black screen.

What do you expect to happen ? (what happens on the simulator). Do you play an image, put on buttons, play a sound, put several images, put a menu.. etc etc

Hard to help when you are not a bit more specific what is happening and what you expect to happen.

Game Programming / Adding IAP

« on: February 14, 2013, 04:53:25 am »

Hi all. Anyone have any experience with adding  IAP ?

What Im thinking is have a few objects for sale, once bought they are always there. But how to keep track of what is bough ?

Do I, after a sucessfull callback, save a state to file ? Wont this be vary easy to hack ? The idea is that user can buy the item, and for this (and all future games) will have this item to make it a bit easier to win.

Any thoughts welcome, particulary for those who have done something similar.

« on: February 13, 2013, 02:22:34 am »

Yeah.. well, I just got my seccond game out today, this time we realy put some effort into making it look nice.

I think that is the #1 key to get sales at all, only friends and family buys a game with 'programmer art' these days

Do you have next one planned already ? Im having now.. 2 projects that are well away, I tend to start a new one whenever I have to wait up for the artist. Im not very good at making up mock images, and she (illustrator) always throws things around so I preferre having what it will be like at once

Huge kudos to Tim who helped getting the game center testing up and running

Gameplay is not the most advanced, but the art is a killer if you ask me.

Yeah, looks nice. How is the controll ? Looks like 2 joysticks, is it walk with one and shoot with one like robotron ?
