Not a comment on the gameplay, but the tutorial is far to slow and drawn out - experienced gamers could have this summarised in maybe 2 images with a line of text each. Maybe under a "quick help" link?

I began a project with this after the pitch/initial selection phase - but due to personal circumstances had to withdraw about 40% of the way in and concentrate on other things. Due to the specific arrangement we had, I (understandably)

Ah OK - yes some better behaviour can be adjusted, maybe tweak the default values a bit?

Smooth running, but the flocking behaviour just doesn't quite feel right. The boids overlap/collide and just don't feel to "flock" correctly. Do they have awareness of the other boids around them?

I agree, the answer was changed after I accepted it, which was an initial response saying they would respond shortly. If we have broken any licensing terms, then I would like to have been contacted, and Appcelerator to tell us and exactly w

It's < 10k downloads over 2 weeks. It doesn't appear to be a scam, more a case of an over zealous sales department. However, even if it is to do with displaying the Apache license as mentioned below, the behavior is pretty aggressive an

Thanks for the link but I think you're still missing it slightly. I'd like a url I can point my phone at to see the demo app running. Not a screencast as I can't gauge lag from that, but a functioning demo to play with. I want to be able to

I was talking this over with some friends today and most didn't know this footage existed. It's worth watching the whole piece, but for the impatient, skip to the 11 minute mark.

Sorry that's not a demo, that's a showreel. This is of interest to me, but I want to quickly see actual performance on a variety of test devices I have to hand.

Where/how can I see a demo? And don't think you need my email or facebook login before I've seen what you offer and whether it's any good.

Although the title is link bait, this really doesn't surprise me. Driving across the New Forest in the UK last summer I was "stalked" for half an hour by a couple of Apache helicopters. Every few minutes they'd pop up from behind cover or o

I'd imagine this was to combat making guns readily available that would bypass metal detectors. Just because there weren't any planed at the time, forsight may have been enough to avoid that situation? /speculation

It's not always the case that they don't credit, I'm running a twitter feed of the Falklands conflict on a 30 year delay, and so far,in the first week, I have been contacted by two tv companies who wanted to know who they should attribute t

It doesn't quite meet your criteria for start today, but the Open University, a well respected "virtual uni", has been running in the UK for over 40 years. http://www.open.ac.uk/ Fees are a little higher but only marginally at around $800

I think the point is that from an end user experience Napster had advantages and features that haven't been replicated or bettered since. Yes that's ignoring the legality of it, but ultimately we repeatedly see that users will ignore legal

I was part of the trial in Exeter from 96-99. This was only sort of p2p, it was used basically as a method of carrying "cash" without notes or coins. Everything still went through the central bank (Natwest I believe ran it?) That including

I've done both in the past, and while Companies House is straight forward, using a third party is even easier, its usually a case of just filling out a page or two form and entering credit card details. The companies I've registered through

Not strictly a service, but perhaps "torrents" should be an option? I know of a few people who either buy or torrent everything.
