  • That and they still lack support for WP8.1 PubCenter for use with winjs. So it means they don't provide a way to use them their own advertising agent for apps based off html. Luckily with Cordova we can (probably) use AdMob instead.

    My 'feeling' is they have sold a load of cheap WP8.1 phones this holiday. As they are selling them around the £100 mark which is dirt cheap.

  • The answer is simple. Yes!

  • Added DEV LOG 8: 45/60 levels complete and promo art added.

  • I'll add a bit more to this as there is another issue causing me to loose work. I'm using R190 64bit of Windows 8.1 with the capx being stored in google drive.

    Sometimes after autosaving saving fails to do anything. So if you press the save icon it doesn't become disabled to show that the capx is up to date. So what happens is you do a bunch of work hit save and exit. On reopening you'll notice that the most recent capx was a .autosave. If you try to open that it will fail with an error message. The next recent will be the capx you were working on however it wont have been saved.

    I suspect the autosave files became read only while google drive uploaded the changes. So it fails to delete and write the next one and perhaps breaks the whole saving process.

  • I don't understand where this sponsor list is located in this thread? Was there one?

  • No it isn't since they have no devices. They may change at some point when its embed into smart TVs.

  • Yeah, I know the market share is bad. However, since I have been answer a lot of wp8.1 questions in the how to thread recently, I was wondering if their very recent 'cheap device' campaign had been mildly successful. That site you linked shows stats from Nov 2014.

  • Copyright is automatic under international law. Meaning you don't have to do anything as long as its your own work. However, you could create a trademark to prevent users trying to use similar app names. i.e. King have apparently trademarked 'CANDY' and 'SAGA'. However, It's normally better to make it big with an app as it can be costly.

  • As it says on the tin. Why do you think that is? Perhaps because their phones are really cheap?

  • So encase someone is interested I did the following to get it working.

  • I was trying to do a swipe screen action to scroll a screen. So I've used an invisible sprite with the scroll to behavior and set its position to the touch position. Which worked but was far too fast. So I was trying to slow it down by making it move to the touch position by giving it the 8 direction behavior and setting a velocity by using the touch co-ordinates. Which went down the screen well enough, but not up. I'm sure its just a matter of fiddling.

  • So it looks like AbsoluteX is in canvas co-ordinates and X is in layout co-ordinates. So I must be doing something else wrong elsewhere. Thanks.

  • Basically I want to know what the equivalent touch x and y are in the world position.

    Any ideas?
