Hi! I tried to create a new app but there is no verification key in my Files Tab (mentioned in the tutorial (http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/623/how ... n-appstore) and needed when you export your game for Amazon). How or where do I get it?

I tried it with the "Application Key". Is this the right one?

(btw: I hosted it on my server and set a price of $0.99. But if anyone opens the url on my server he can access it for free?)

Hi! I created a countdown/timer app and added a sound notification if the timer expires. But this only works if the app is currently running.

Is there a way to notifiy users when the app/game is not running or not the currently active app on screen (it has to be launched but dont has to be the active app on screen)?

Its running as mobile app in the browser (on iOS/Android) (not packaged). I assumed this would work on Kindle, too.

I used only one plugin to get system date/time ().

The app is hosted on clay.io but not approved, yet (and costs 0.99$). But I can upload it on my server so you can test it.

Does it have to be in a special (export)format to run on Kindle?

I can send you a private message with the URL and login details.

I created a simple countdown-app and I submitted it to Amazon but it got rejected twice because it does not run on Kindle (old and new devices). They said: "Upon launch, the app force closes, crashes, or displays only a blank screen." Its really just a few text objects, a few static sprites and simple math which should run on almost any 10 year old calculator. :-/

I dont have a Kindle to test it so its hard to say why it does not work.

Thank you very much for your example KYATRIC. It's working now.

Maybe I should not try to code when I need to take strong antibiotics. It sometimes makes your brain silly.

Hi. I tried to create a countdown which shows remaining hours:minutes:seconds but have some issues with times longer than 24 hours (and if I add minutes a hour is added). You can find it here:

/Update: Fixed.

Debugger shows about 25-30% CPU utilisation in a new project with just 2 sprites.

You could try the built in shake. Just add the "Scroll to" behavior and then call its shake action.

A built in function for it would be nice. Until then the plugin can be found here:

I just tried a few things with the system time and it seems to work if you just subtract the destination time (current+entered amount for the countdown) from the current system time.

The code:

It displays a 5 Minute countdown counting down every second.

/Update: Seems it does not work as expected. I added 10.000 to CurrentUnixTime (should be 10 seconds when the Unix Time is in Milliseconds?) but my Countdown shows an additional hour and adding 1 day shows 0 instead of 24 hours (only uses 0-24 for a single day and cant display more like 36 hours?)

Any ideas how to fix this?
