Codea 1.3.1 is approved!

General
21

@Simeon I replicated the problem on my iPad 1. I had an almost clean install on it. All I had to do to get it crashing was to add a saveProjectInfo to a new project with the correct “Description” key, and run it once. I couldn’t get the crashing to stop, even by removing the project. In the end I removed Codea and reinstalled it. I’m dreading doing that on my fully loaded Codea on my iPad 2!

Here is the crash log from the iPad 1:

Thank you Herwig — could you email me the actual crashlog file? simeon [at] twolivesleft.com

I think you have to go into Xcode and go under device manager to send a file though. Just trying to limit confusion.

24

@Simeon - Hey there, love the black theme. Great addition and very relaxing for the eyes :wink:
I’m here to whine though, as I’m having a few glitches on Codea 1.3.1 :stuck_out_tongue:

Basically, from time to time, when deleting selected code, the focus goes away (as in, no cursor left on the page), so If i press delete again it will jump to the end of the code, and start deleting whatever is there. It’s very very (very) frustrating hehe :slight_smile:

I’m having a few random crashes when switching tabs or stopping the execution of a program after using codea for a few hours. Restarting the app buys me a few more :stuck_out_tongue:

I had a few crashes when trying to buy the black theme/backgrounds, but it was fixed on restarting the device. However, I noticed that you cannot go back to the original background, or ever just not use any background at all.

Keep up the great work !

Cheers,

Xavier

@Xavier I’ve had your deleting issue as well. I’ve triggered it when selecting and then deleting a method call parameter.

  • Double-tap to select parameter
  • Backspace once to delete parameter
  • Backspace again to delete space
  • Cursor jumps to the bottom of the document

Doesn’t happen every time in every file, but I have had it happen quite a lot.

26

So it’s not just me!

I assumed that I’d been accidentally tapping the code near the bottom and resolved not to be so thick-fingered in future.

27

hehe yeah that’s it ) I can’t remember the amount of “ends” i deleted :stuck_out_tongue:

28

I noticed it too when keeping the delete pressed to delete a bunch of stuff, and it suddenly started deleting stuff at the end of the file!

29

@Xavier do you mean the original blue background from 1.3 and earlier? If so then yes, I had to remove it as it doesn’t scale up to retina iPad resolution (1536x2048). The new backgrounds scale up to this resolution.

Thanks for letting me know about the delete bug. So you just hold the delete button to continuously delete, and at some point it will start deleting from the end? Will look into it. Thanks for the reproduction steps, @frosty.

I think some of the crashes could be due to the threaded autocomplete builder. I’m looking into this with @Dylan.

Ok - First I would like to comment that I had assumed that the new settings were going to be on the all app settings page (settings/apps area) so it took me a few minutes to find it. No issue, just confusion on my part.
Second, I bought the the dark theme to help support 2LL, and have found that it is so much easier to focus on the task at hand, and its so much easier onthe eyes, and easier to see different commands (variables, constants, etc.) that it makpe me much more productive. Thanks!

Jim

But not apparently a better speller…

31

Glad you like it, @jlslate! Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully we can make the dark theme come with a dark keyboard some time in the future as well.

32

FYI - A ton of the backgrounds don’t work and give me a blue background.

33

@Zoyt it sounds like they aren’t downloading — are you on a stable WiFi connection? Or perhaps the Two Lives Left server wasn’t responding, I’ll look into it.

Once they download they should save locally from that point on.

34

Oh… I didn’t know I needed Internet connection, but I understand why you did it due to hacking. Works now! Thanks!

35

Not at all due to hacking, @Zoyt. It’s actually to keep the size of Codea small (it’s about ~10 MB at the moment). Codea’s size blows up as follows when adding the backgrounds:

  • 40 MB with all iPad backgrounds
  • 81 MB with all iPad + iPad 3/Retina backgrounds

I didn’t want to waste all that size on just background images.

36

Oh… (Holly crap that’s large images!) I agree.

37

@Simeon - @Frosty - Not sure if this was mentioned before. Found the way to reproduce the bug 100% of the time.

Double tap to select a word, then delete.
If there is a space before, it will glitch and remove the cursor. If not, it works fine.

Double tapping “value” and pressing delete will glitch

t = { value=nil }

Double tapping “value” and pressing delete will work fine

t = {value=nil }

During testing Codea crashed twice, but this might not be linked

Cheers,

Xavier

38

Thank you @Xavier, that’s very helpful! Will sort this out.

39

Just because I wanted to and I love Codea so much, I quickly created this little animation right here.
Hope you like it!

Thanks, @Zoyt!
