I’m getting a 6 plus. If I can put CODEA on it, I will not have to replace my iPad 1 with a newer one that I otherwise don’t need.
Does anyone write CODEA programs on an iPad mini?
Since I have no experience with CODEA 2.0, I don’t know what the new editor does beyond my CODEA 1 on my Ipad 1.
As a personal project, I will eventually be creating in CODEA my own code editor.
It will have a custom keyboard in the lower right corner that can expand to a full screen selection panel that expands on the CODEA keyboard’s one line API function short cutter.
It will present the CODEA source in tree, call graph, and any other form I can think of at various zoom levels to make reading, editing and creating CODEA projects as easy as I can make it.
As a side effect, a small screen becomes as useful as a larger screen for programming.
Thanks for making project source readable and writable.
Now I have no excuse for not doing the type of code reader/writer that I have been working on since I first saw a flowchart back in the 1960’s when I started programming.
Any ideas or encouragement will be appreciated.
Once I get the editor working to my satisfaction, I’ll share it. But don’t expect it soon - I’m a slow coder.
Yup, I code on the iPad Mini. However, I have the LG G3 (5.5in screen) and coding on it would be a chore. I guess it’s all about having the choice though.
You can’t limit your app to certain models of the iPhone, unless it actually needs a certain feature other than screen space (i.e. gyroscope, camera, etc.). And I don’t see a point to it.
@JakAttak I don’t mean to go off-topic for this part: How is the G3? Compared to maybe an Xperia Z3? I’ve got an upgrade coming on my plan and I’m spoilt for choice.
Also will the iPhone 6 be able to run iPad apps?
@Luatee The 6 won’t be able to. However, the 6 plus’ bigger screen has made apple create a landscape mode for built-in apps on that device, even a landscape mode for the home screen.
@Luatee, it’s fantastic - fairly light skin, great performance, stellar battery life, beautiful - but so our most of them If I had to choose now, I might end up with one of the New MotoX’s, but other than that I love my G3. Only gripe, it’s a little large, so I recommend holding one before deciding.
@Luatee Even if they did, the 6 plus has a 16:9 screen ratio while the iPad has a 4:3 screen ratio, which would make the apps have black space on either side on the iPhone.
@Saturn031000 good point, but it wouldn’t look anywhere near as bad as when they decided to put iPhone apps on the iPad (pixelated mess). I think they could get away with it in some ways (obviously stretching isn’t an option).
