It's Not By Magic

Bad Idea

Tiltopolis

So the latest Corona-built iPhone/iPad game is here: Tiltopolis.

It's a twist on the old classic, Blocks. The twist is that the falling blocks land on a balance bar, seesaw, tilting beam - whatever you call it, it's a challenge as you've not just gotta stop the blocks from reaching the top, but reaching the bottom!

The game features Physics Mode (the seesaw reacts to being hit by the blocks) and Arcade Mode (the angle of the seesaw reflects number of blocks on either side) as well as 4 awesome tracks by new Brit band Run Toto Run!

Apps at AppStoreHQ

That Time Of Year

Worth Jailbreaking?

A recent post on El Reg (www.theregister.co.uk) points out that due to the hoops regular (ie: non-techy or can't-be-bothered-techy) mobile users (read: mobile phone and tablet users) have to jump through to get free apps or banned apps (those denied from stores like Apple's iOS App Store) most users are content with paying the low fee of US$0.99 or GB99p for an app on their phone or tablet.

Their article focuses on Open Source software, that of the wind of "Free". However, as a mobile developer myself, spending months working on an app and giving it away for free (especially the prospect that it would be installed via jailbreaking without charge) is rather underwelming.

Quote from El Reg:

"if an app is close enough to free and immediately available, with the added benefit of potentially being higher quality than open-source alternatives (because of the paid investment in developing and polishing the app), will there be any reason to bother downloading an open-source app?

Freedom matters a great deal to some, but arguably not to the consumers flocking to Apple's devices. And perhaps not even to the bulk of developers writing for those consumers."

Death Spiral

Corona SDK Goes Windows

Corona SDK, the multi-platform development kit for iOS and Android had a major update this week. There is now a Windows SDK allowing the same lua language apps which can be compiled into iOS and Android Java apps on the Mac to be developed for Android on Windows.

To accompany this Ansca have included a slew of new features, all announced on their blog:

• Windows SDK:
  http://blog.anscamobile.com/2011/01/corona-sdk-is-now-on-windows/
• Masking, In-App Purchase and Asynchronous HTTP:
  http://blog.anscamobile.com/2011/01/but-wait-theres-more/

This is a really big step and one I believe will lead to some very interesting developments. Personally, I'm hoping for a lot of developer interest, to help bolster the Corona community and Ansca Mobile themselves, as well as WP7 builds.

I Hate Windows Server 2008

I really do.

But besides that, here's an article written to do justice (if not, comedy) to the annoying 'features' of the server OS. His other articles are about the useful, productive and more positive aspects, so please feel free to find out lots about the system.

Consider this article, however, the warning/watch out/snafu guide:
