StackIt (v1.1 released!)

Project Beta
101

Quick question: Did you ever find a way to pull the location and get current weather?

102

@JakAttak - Easy as pie. After I release the app, I’m going to release all my runtime Codea add ons, including my version of GameCenter (much more stable, organized, and feature rich than the other one), my location fetching API (just a few lines of code), TestFlight API, and some other stuff. I’ll also be collecting together all the links to the snippets of Lua code I’ve posted used in my app.
Thanks!

Also, I got around the issue. I’ll be releasing a beta soon.

104

New build out! Please make sure to check it out. And check out interdazzle.com and my Twitter at https://twitter.com/InterDazzle
Thank you.

Nice work!

  • I love the new icon

  • The object gallery is very nice

  • The weather seems to be working nicely

  • The powerups are undefined, and I never know what I’m about to get hit with. Please put a list of what they do somewhere!

  • The GameCenter notifications in game are extremely annoying the first time you play because everywhere two seconds a new pops up. I would have them happen when you lose

  • The bar showing the time left for a powerup doesn’t show up against the clouds. A color change would be a good idea

@JakAttak - Thanks.
Number 4 is already in the next update with the new tutorials.
Number 5 I noticed. Are you on an iPhone or iPad playing this? I’m going to try and find a way to fix this.
Number 6 I’ll fix.
Thanks!

I’m on an iPad

Getting some big glitches… Opening the object gallery gives an error and access to the console/parameters for cheats, the screen flashes white when I spam “add object,” the end screen flickered like crazy, and some of the text was left over flickering on the screen when I went to the main menu.

109

New build. Lots of new features.
I need someone to test the FaceBook sharing feature because I don’t have a FaceBook.
Thanks!

Just had a quick look.

  1. You need to proofread your texts.
  2. The strobe continues after the end of the game.
  3. You should define an option to turn off the strobe effect - epilepsy and migraine are just two of the things it can trigger.
  4. The “number of objects on paddle” achievement seems to be off by one.
  5. The notification of achievements is a little irritating. Once you beat a previous achievement then it seems to notify you with every little increment. Perhaps only multiples of 5?

@Andrew_Stacey - Thanks. I think I’ll put most of what you suggested in the settings.

112

Just played with it myself:

  1. Where / How is facebook integrated? When i finish a game I see no option to share my score or anything like that
  2. On the 5th (I think) slide of the help screen, you misspelled lose 4 times. (You don't loose a game)
  3. Andrew Stacey's. Number 5 I totally agree with
  4. With the clouds, white help text is quite hard to read. I suggest no clouds on that screen
  5. When an object timer is finished, the green checkmark that appears stays in place (doesn't follow the object) - It's been driving me crazy
113

@JakAttak - Thanks. I’m working on sharing scores, but right now the sharing is the little camera button in the bottom right of the screen.
Thanks!

114

@Zoyt - Ah. I will see if that works then

EDIT: Does it require the Facebook app to be installed?

EDIT2: It works! I had to go into settings and sign into Facebook from there

115

@JakAttak - Thanks. I was kind of coding blind, but I’m glad it works.

116

@SkyTheCoder - You probably did not read the release notes or install the previous build. You have to uninstall and reinstall StackIt to upgrade. This is because I had changed the method for storing objects that you’ve seen and various other things. To fix it, simply reinstall StackIt.
Thanks! I appreciate all the feedback.

117

@Zoyt, just got the new version:

  1. I'm getting location, weather, and GameCenter errors (Wi-Fi is working, and I'm signed into GameCenter on my iPad
  2. When you change the method to tilt, the help screen still tells you how to use touch
  3. This installed a second version of StackIt on my iPad instead of updating the previous one, kind of werid...
  4. P.S. Check mark still doesn't stay on objects
118

@JakAttak - I’m running into the same issue with location, weather, and GameCenter errors too sometimes (but on most devices, it works). I’ve been trying to figure it out for hours. Good idea for changing the tutorial. I’ll look into it. The reason for the duplicate app is because I finally transferred it to my new account register with InterDazzle, LLC (my company). Apple finally got around to activating my account. As for the checkmarks, that’ll be in v1.1 or v1.0.1, sorry! I’m aiming to release my app on November 27, so I’ve got a feature freeze on right now. Only bug fixes.
Thanks for all the feedback.

119

@Zoyt, you have your own company? :)>-

120

@JakAttak - Yup. That’s my way of legally having an Apple developer account while being under 18, and not having my parents pay taxes on it.
