Welcome C Andre!

I know how you feel ... C2 is amazing make the old saying "You get what you pay for" not true because you get much more!

I haven't published an app for about four years (memories of GameSalad) but today marks the start of a new beginning.

I just published an app (first run for testing only) and all went as expected.

The file size is a little big at 26MEG ??? but, it is what it is.

I will spend the rest of the long weekend (Canada Day is Tuesday) to tweak and optimize and publish as much as I can.

Little Composers is on track again! YAY

P.S. I will sign up for a google play account shortly. This test was to download the apk file per email .... just to see if it works AND IT DOES! WooHoo!!!!

add one more "THANK YOU" for your explanation! I am planning to release something this weekend .... and if it works .... we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

THANK YOU for that answer. I am planning an app which (sort of) uses such a feature as well. V -

I have about 20 years of music teaching experience and my apps teach specific skills to help those who are struggling and/or in danger to drop out as well as those who are just beginning.

My teaching uses a little bit of everything but is mostly based on what I studied during my younger years.

Amazingly, HTML5 took a long time to arrive and get us to the point where we can develop all these apps for the children of tomorrow.

It is very exciting to be a child these days. All we had was primitive and crashing computers with a stupid operating system but now, things are different.

My apps are not quite ready yet but by the fall, Little Composers will lift off (fingers crossed).

Hi gang,

I get a lot of requests to include a "PLAY" button on some of my virtual instruments.

Here is the thing ....

I use colored sprites which have a sound attached which plays upon being clicked/tabbed.

The user can drag and drop the sprites on screen and arrange them into a random sequence (drop at a random location).

Once the sprites are dropped, a student could just simply click on them to hear the new melody BUT, I am wondering what it would take to

have the play-back quasi automated?

And while I am at it.

Is there a way to "store" (save) the sprite layout and reload it later??

Just wondering.

I use C2 to replace Flash content (musical instruments).

If I had time like I don't, I'd love to make a little game but for now, it's just music education apps.

You can check the music apps at http://littlecomposers.com/learn.html

Sometime later this year, I am planning to release a special app which focuses on ear training for children.

What excites me most about C2 is that I have access to almost every platform there is (my apps don't need advertising etc.)

Like others have already pointed out, your imagination (and willingness to improvise) is the limit.

C 2 rocks!

I record my audio in GarageBand and export a aiff audio file.

Then I open the *.aiff audio file with Audacity, select and export the region I need as:

WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 but PCM

There is a "Options" button but for the selected format, no options are available.

The weird thing is that at the beginning, it all worked without a hitch.

Anyway, I re-use most of my sound samples and by now have all the extensions I need.

Eventually, i will examine the .aiff file with GarageBand spits out and see if a different export format will work as expected.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Btw: I LOVE C2! If it wasn't for C2, I'd still be making Flash apps which is a dead end solution.

Alright, there is a PROBLEM!

C2 no longer created .ogg files.

I just got my laptop back from repair (runs W7) and it did the same thing as the new W8.1 machine.

I am running the latest stable release 173.

Because I work a lot if audio (all my apps depend on it) this is annoying.

What has changed??

Which website hosting service you use?

I use "A Small Orange".

They are good, give me access to MIME Types but! I have no sound in IE (which means that I will have to address this issue soon and if it means moving to a new host, I might consider it.

I hear good things about bluehost, especially for WP driven sites.

I hear you .... a good book is hard to find. Speaking of hard to find. This book which I've mentioned above is the only book available right now and all I am interested in is to learn how to export my apps to as many platforms as possible (within reason).

I think that a few people who frequent this forum have it and hope to hear about how useful that chapter is. I can use all the help I can get.

Thanks,

V

Thank you TheDom

It looks like there is a practical use for twitter after all .... something new to try out.
