  • Ashley

    I just got a message from Microsoft about 10 minutes ago confirming my entries have been received (unfortunately it does not say which, but oh well at least now I know they are GETTING at least one entry).

    Thanks for the quick responses as usual Ashley, you guys rock.

    Thanks! I did get it.

    cheers

    Thanks for the contest.

    I'd like to suggest for future contest that there be a better submission process.

    The blog said we may contact andrew iirc, but he has answered none of my emails.

    Also, the only verification my apps were submitted was from ashley saying as long as I emailed andrewvms@microsoft.com with my app then it was submitted. Problem is, were he has not responded to my entries, how do I know my emails are even getting to him, being read, not blocked, or missing information to make my entry valid.

    I lost ambition in this contest because of this, it would be better if our entries could get notification to say yes, we got your submission. I've never seen a contest before were your submission is not responded to in some way.

    Thanks.

  • what are you asking for?

    what are you benchmarking.

    Are you looking for something like: 1 million computations in C2 vs. 1 million in...php? html? java?

  • booth your website is awesome. Functions awesome.

    As far as the HTML5 website with construct...I am tempted to make a dumbed down version of my website using the basics and make a HTML5 one with construct.

    It would do that trick I would think.

  • What do you mean by nothing?

    When I filled out the form, if I tried to do another it said my account already has a submission. Are you submitting with different emails? If so, submit with just one or else you create more work for them with multiple submissions.

    Secondly, it took me about three weeks to get approved/hear back from them. You have to be patient.

    Have you ever been involved in a software piracy trial or read up on one?

    If an application is under dispute it needs to be proved it is/is not pirated. Which code must be reviewed (usually by some legal third party).

    You can get caught, the question is would anyone pursue it. Big companies like EA would sue, but for a small app on the market? Only (mostly) if you make a butt ton of money.

    Picture this, you make an amazing app. You pirated the software of course, no worries. You have 10,000 downloads and you are not worried. A year later your app has 10,000,000 downloads and you generated over a million of dollars. You might get a little more worried people try to target you for pirating.

  • BurningWood you would need a copy of windows yes.

    I am not aware of any way to get microsoft programs to work without the use of installing windows on a mac via either boot camp or virtual machines.

  • I am not sure I 100% understand.

    do you want it stretched out of ratio?

    ie, to stretch 160x160 to 640x480 your sprites are no longer 16x16 but more like 50x30 (guessing).

    if you allow black bars you can keep the ratio, or, you can stretch the screen in a way that center is a square with proper ratio while the sides (or tops) are just extended backgrounds so you do not get black bars.

    Either case,

    do you care more about money, or user experience and getting your product out there?

    Focus too much on one and you lose sight of the other.

    I think construct is handling piracy very well. Not to mention, it has been proven pirating can lead to profit (look at various court cases related to movie pirating). I personally know people who pirated construct to test out the not-free features...they bought it a week later.

    Think about this:

    Company A is greedy and has a program used by 500 people that is almost impossible to pirate but gives users a bad experience

    Company B cares more about usability and has a program that is sometimes pirated and has over 500,000 downloads.

    Which one is more known? Which most likely makes more money? Which would you use? Which would you actually buy?

    Personally for my apps, I do not do much to prevent piracy. I think of it like this, there are some people who will pirate, and some who will not, and then there is everyone else. Lets say someone pirates my app, they love it but never buy it...They show it to all of their friends and some of them buy it while others pirate it too. Do to me allowing pirating, more people saw my app (which is mostly all I care about).

  • —

    My understanding is next cocoonjs which should be out soon will do just that

  • kenli

    it might have to do with cocoonjs wakelock issue.

    I have been told they are fixing this in release 1.4 which should be out soon
