StackIt (v1.1 released!)

@Zoyt Could you please explain your method of having a company, under the age of 18, and not having to pay taxes on it? I for one want to know :slight_smile:

@Prynok - I have to pay taxes on it, but having a company makes it so it doesn’t go out of my parent’s money. Basically, I’m the only one in the company (as a member manager), but my dad is the statutory agent (the one who sets it up), who has to be over 18. I live in Arizona, so I’m not sure it will be the same where you live. So the only thing you need a parent for is the statutory agent. If there’s a part of the process you want more detail on, let me know. Let me tell you, you REALLY have to want it to get it. It’s been a 1/4 of the year process with all sorts of complications because of my age and issues on the government’s side (partly because of the shutdown). But it’s possible.

Sorry guys about all the bugs in the gold master. I’ve found and fixed most of them. I hope to release a true gold master soon. My release date is set for November 23, if my app get approved in time.

@JakAttak - I’m looking into the GameCenter issue… Are you sure you signed into StackIt’s GameCenter? Just because you’re signed in in the settings, it doesn’t mean you’re signed into StackIt. StackIt has its own sign in screen. If you’re not even getting the sign in screen, then you’ve either dismissed it 3 times (which disables it forever, unless you reset your settings) or I’ve got a bug, which is probably isn’t. I’ve tested it in depth, and I haven’t ran into a bug.

I never got the StackIt sign in screen…

I’ve got a serious bug: I disabled the strobe light, and so when I got a powerup, the whole time the powerup was running, I was losing 5000 points every seconds and getting a notification saying Strobe light disabled over and over again

EDIT: Got another strobe powerup, and this time it actually stroked even though setting was turned to off

@JakAttak - You must’ve been like @-) then :-L . Congrats! You got a new low-score! Anyways, sorry about that. I tested it, but not in length. You are supposed to loose 5000 points once only when you get it. LOL. On my bug list. Hopefully… My next gold master (hopefully released before Friday) will be bug-less. Also, I just realized I’m calculating my moon phases wrong. Fixed that.
Finally… To see a quick trailer I threw together, go to my website and scroll down to the screenshots and click the video play button. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t have to be. I would’ve made it more fancy, but it was made in iMove, so there’s not too much flexibility there.
Thanks!

Just a quick note - The list of beta testers will be included in the credits in v1.0.1 or v1.1. It’s not that easy to fit them all on the screen on an iPhone when you don’t have a UI web view. If you don’t want to be credited, just let me know.
Thanks!

A. Scrolling list of beta testers?

B. Who wouldn’t want their credit as a beta tester?

@SkyTheCoder -
A. That’s my plan. But I’m on a feature freeze, and that counts as a “feature” in my world, so v1.0.1.
B. I use to be using someone’s code in my app (not anymore), but he didn’t want to be credited in the app. So I thought… Why not ask.

@Zoyt I know you probably have it planned out, but I think the names should be in the clouds, not so obvious that they distract the game play, but different enough where you can read them. :slight_smile:

@Prynok - Interesting idea. The issue with putting them in the clouds is that sometimes you don’t have clouds (because of the live weather feature). That being said, I think I will make the about scene (v1.1 or v1.0.1) names floating across on clouds across the center of the screen. Thanks for the idea.

@Zoyt No problem, can’t wait for your grand release on the appstore!

–Removed

EDIT: Sorry double-posted :((

@Prynok - Thanks!

How about a TARDIS Easter egg object?

@SkyTheCoder I had a feeling we had a Doctor Who fan here.

@Prynok Whovians unite!

@SkyTheCoder, @Prynok - Haha. v1.1 (or v.1.0.1). My goal is to have at least a 1 new object in each update, big or small. If you can double check my research that it’s under the Creative Commons license, I’ll do it. My research is here.

And… (drumroll please), it’s submitted. All I can hope is that it’s approved before November 23. That gives them 6 business days. They claim (as of November 8th) that 96% of new iOS apps are approved in 5 business days. So all I really need to worry about is having it approved. Anyways, thanks for all the support. I will be sending out new versions some time, but for now, I just need to relax a little.
Edit: I thought I might mention it’s 4:30 AM here… I-)
