  • Hey johnrazor,

    and thanks for all the pointers.

    Out of all the suggestions you've made, the save/load a melody interests me a lot but, I still need to learn how to do that.

    I didn't even know that MIDI data could be created yet alone saved? Have to dig a little deeper.

    About my signature ... as you know, stating something In definite terms has become a dangerous game. I think that if a child starts with making compositions and puts a little effort into it, she/he can advance a lot and maybe come up with a unique composition that grows wings.

    Unfortunately, I can't promise that that will happen so I chose "could" become famous.

    My sig is just there. No expectations really. If someone wants to check out the website then it's a quick link to do so but I will see if something pops into mind when the time is right.

    If you come across a tut that deals with saving a melody, I'd be very interested to read it.

    Thanks,

    V

    Flash had a good run and cached out at the right time (Adobe bought it a few years ago).

    Steve Jobs killed it because it messed with the iMacs (back in 2009).

    It wouldn't be so bad but what really matters is that now most website visitors come with some sort of a tablet or phone.

    C2 saved me big time! I waited hard for something/anything that would help me to lose Flash and jump on the HTML5 band wagon.

    I can't wait to finish this and send it to MS for the Windows Store. YAY

  • No comments means that everything is just handy dandy

    I worked all day and have a good update to show.

    The project is nearing completion and I am very happy with how C2 handles the resizing and overall fell of the HTML5 piano.

    Note: For those of you who want to play/try it, please be a little patient as there are a lot of sounds that have to download. Soon, this puppy will travel to the Windows Store (but there is still some work to do).

    Those of you who have a touch screen monitor might enjoy playing this way?

  • Thank YOU. THAT is exactly what I need.

    Now I have some swiping to do ...

    Ciao for now,

    V

  • Hey,

    I wonder how I could move or drag the whole scene to the left or right based on a "on-screen-swipe"?

    The idea is to show a long image and reveal/hide parts of it by moving it left or right.

    Thanks,

  • One more thing ....

    I found a quick and dirty little way to check the file size of an app.

    Just upload your game to your website, copy the URL and enter it into this page: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/

    Give it a few seconds and you will see how

    big

    or small

    your game is.

    Sometimes these things are good to know ... me thinks.

  • Hey guys,

    Last year, I stumbled across a website which featured a HTML5 piano that some Javascript whizz made.

    I was in awe! (mostly because I was still making Flash apps and knew that the writing is on the wall)

    Because of C2 (my FAVOURITE app of all apps), I just begun to make/port my own HTML5 Piano which, once it's done, will introduce children to the wonderful world of app making ... no, I meant, music.

    Anyway, here is the link: http://littlecomposers.com/apps/mmm/

    If someone wants to load it on different devices, I'd appreciate your feedback. Also, please include which device you've tested it on and perhaps the build version (seen in the lower right corner) so I know where things are.

    So far, I have just the keyboard (low G to high F) with the low B flat and f-sharp and upper b-flat working. All white keys work.

    Thanks a million!

  • Hi ronm,

    the net if full of noise you can grab, including short beeps suitable for button-click noises.

    How ever, I would recommend that you install Audacity (free open source software which lets you "generate!" and edit pretty much anything you will need to get started.

    YouTube will help you to get started.

    I "might" be able to help you ...

    1) Load this app in your iPad default browser http://www.littlecomposers.com/apps/learn-note-names/treble-clef/

    Let me know if you have sound issues.

    I have tested all of my apps on the latest apple iPad and it is working (as well as in IE which was a pain to get going).

    If you hear the sounds then you need to tweak your MIME type settings on your server.

    Please let me know and I will write up a little tutorial because I too had to search for ever and a day 'till it worked.

    Ciao for now,

    V

  • Hello DoomFront

    You need to specify a screen size like, for example, 800, 500. (this is just an example)

    You would do that under Properties (and the look down a few lines until you see) Window Size.

    There, you specify what you want.

    A better way is to start with a template which you can find in the File > New > pop up window

    Select a Template or example.

    Then you will see a dotted area which is your screen size.

    What ever you put in there, will appear on the screen right where you want it to be.

    Check the Layout Size also (select layout in the Projects window) and make sure that it is set to the same size.

    Btw. GREAT graphic!

    Good luck with your project,

    V

  • My mistake!

    There is no reason to change your permalinks setting (from default to page/post title) and help search engines to actually find and index your page(s) properly.

  • Hi burningcake,

    As I look at your links, I can tell that you should read up on "permalinks" (wordpress - dashboard > Settings).

    Doing so will get rid of the "page-id=111" and replace it with a proper page name/title.

    Also. You have a special page dedicated to inform visitors that all content on your site is subject to copyright????

    I want to admit that I didn't bother reading the small print because I don't believe that this project will take off as they never do.

    If you want to be successful, you need to start a quality repository of your own capx files and in time, others might maybe add to your collection.

    Good luck!
