Yes, searching for "Letters" is not great. The irony is that if the app was ranked highly it would show up much higher in the results, so it's a double-edge sword. Regarding "undoing" a letter selection, you can&#x2

I don't disagree with you, and partly I have always wanted to write a game or two (I've published many other non-game apps, also w/o much financial success), but I wanted to learn about the market... and I did!

Hey, my "Alpha" program is still there! I remember learning Piet for the Perplex City ARG (2006/2007) and thought it was an amazingly weird language. Thanks for the memories!

...thx for the FUD on my three hour project I decided to give to the world. This is generally why I don't open-source stuff. Feedback support is coming. Also as noted below, I am familiar with iOS push having built a previous YC startu

yes, feedback service integration is next on the priority list. i think it should take about 30 minutes or so. so far this whole project is only a few hours of work. i don't open-source much of my code, but i thought this might be a go

more like Parse's push value-add (b/c they have a notion of push channels and devices). My previous startup (Notifo) was a push notification-as-a-service company, so I'm familiar w/ push. This was just a weekend project

interesting, i hadn't seen that! it does say it's not meant to be a front-facing server since it has no authentication, which is a slight downside (one of the reasons I added github auth to mine was to allow logging in from anywhe

yes, PushServer uses the node-apn module for delivery, I just built the device token database, notion of channels, and the web frontend around it.

no, it doesn't require heroku, it could easily be used in other environment. i just used heroku initially since it was simple and free to spin up.

I'm not OP, but I do have a question I've been trying to get answered from Flurry for over a year. How do I see breakdowns of properties I set on events? I can't find any way to do this in the Flurry reporting dashboard. Mixp

I use QuartzCore layers extensively, and especially lots of Core Animation for the in-app animation stuff. For UI widgets like buttons I mostly made subclasses of UIKit components. So, lots of both.

That's true. I'll add some credit to the app and website on the next rev.

It's not :) It is an app version of the same game. You're the first person who has made that connection in months of beta testing and showing people the app. I'm sure other people will recognize it as well, but I don't t

You can play more concurrent games and change themes (color schemes) in the app. The free version lets you have 2 concurrent games and use the basic theme.

s'ok - I showed Loren before it launched, and he was cool with it :)

by jazzychad 13y ago
No code was shared. I wrote my own UIKit layer to accomplish the UI (whereas Loren used a 100% OpenGL implementation for Letterpress).

Please make your pages load faster. A 1.1MB header image which blocks other assets from loading doesn't do well for you.

I must admit, after watching Stammy use his Android day-to-day and proofreading this post, I am more tempted to try to use an Android as my main device from a consumer perspective. The seamless Google integration really is the killer featur

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment on this. I've updated the post to be more factually correct.

I want to add that in v2 as well. My current line of thinking involves animating all of the board/piece subview layers using 3d transform animations and moving them individually along paths away from the center of mass as they shatter&
