  This tutorial might help - looks like it does something similar to what you want

  I like the interface, and the ability to test as an app on the actual device (not through a browser) is fab - but I have yet to get as far as getting an app to work yet.

  I think I am gonna give Cocoon a try - seems most people veer that way

  Don't know how proficient you are, but found this today

  Very complicated (to me) but you may be able to employ some of the basic principles!

  You could also have a text input box on the screen and use a 'Set at' array function. I am sure there is probably a way to import from an CSV file and dump it into an array - have a look round the forum.

  Here is a quick and dirty example of an array with names using the up/down arrow keys to scroll through them

  I am very new myself, so Imagine there is a better way of doing it <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Think we need a little more than that

  What data do you want to store in the array, what is it's function, what is the game etc.

  This might be a good place to start - scirra.com/tutorials/307/arrays-for-beginners

  I know this topic is now closed, but I have an explanation from Intel regarding this, so may be useful for people with the same problem

  The 'observed result' screenshot - the stripes look the same as the background on some of the demos - when you set up the project in the xdk, what option did you use for the development path? I wonder if at this stage it is using one of the demo templates?

  Did you export into the right folder e.g. user/xdk/user.appname/4.0.0

  I've only just started using it myself - but it might point you in the right direction!

  I am also new to this and have been using the Intel XDK to test - any reason why you use Cocoon over Intel

  I am struggling to get two different orientations in the same app. I have attached the two working orientations separately, but as soon as I try and implement them within the same app i have problems.

  dropbox.com/s/amjcc9oo1hlxrge/Sequencing%20Portrait.capx

  dropbox.com/s/p6h7fn700hano4l/Sequencing%20Landscape.capx

  The problem is that I am constrained by the window/layout sizes - so if I have these set up for one orientation, the layout in the other will not work (the best I have achieved is about 2/3 screen size)

  I have tried using window and layout width/height values, every conceivable permutation of window,layout size with each fullscreen setting. Any ideas?

  I do need both orientations to make the best use of the screen (so playing with 4 or less cards - portrait, more than 4 - landscape).

  Using Release 146, and publishing/testing to Intel XDK

  Thanks Thehen - I had looked through them, I was looking more at the dimensions for the stage - sorry didn't make this clear

  I know that there are a number of forum posts already on 'my game doesn't display properly on blah' platform as well as some tutorials - and as nearly every one of these posts say, it is a case of trial and error. However, I feel it would be fantastic if there was one place that had a collection of blank template Capx's (or whatever the plural is of a capx) that we know work for specific platforms.

  So please, if you have had success with a particular platform - would you mind building a blank Capx with the appropriate settings in it and share it here.

  That'd be grand.
