I had checked it out on my phone but I just spent 20 minutes playing with it on my computer. I absolutely love it! The performance is really impressive.

Interesting, I’ll take a look at the docs. Appreciate you pointing that out!

Its just a matter of who volunteers to translate.

Not sure on the original, but I spent about a year working on it on weekends here and there. Hard to find time with full time work and other projects mixed in. I would say it was around 100 hours of work in total. The majority of the was do

Sorry about that, that is a google adsense ad which I don’t have control over. Need to pay for the hosting somehow.

It was closer to a port than reverse engineering. I spoke with Cary (the original creator) to get explanations from him on how the features and math behind it worked. He then sent over the metadata and images for all the objects. I think he

I'm very glad to hear it. I spent a lot of time optimizing.

Thank you, I'll be sure to fix that.

Yeah it is from KSP, good ear! https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/most/kerbalspacep... Oops I should really add a credit for it.

Oh good point. I'll update the message for android.

by mattmar96 5y ago
Oh hmm. Yeah it looks like the app isn't on the store for me either. I'm not involved in the app but I'll let my collaborator know.

Thank you for the kind words and feedback! I'll look into these.

Yeah, just kind of tricky to get everything working on a phone. My collaborator Cary's brother Michael had already built an iOS app so we didn't bother getting this working on phones.

Yeah that's a good idea. The only issue is that its been translated into so many different languages that it'd be a pain to get that name/description translated to all 17 of them.

I had that thought, but the original assets were provided to me in bitmap form. Maybe we can try that in the future though

Just this past weekend I drove a 25ft truck for a 400 mile move. It was the first time I've driven something bigger than a car and I gained a lot of respect for truck drivers. Surprisingly difficult to do basic things like lane centeri

This is a cool idea. A first step before first party integration into a piano roll could be a vst with midi output. I know this can be done because of plugins like Xfer's Cthulu. I'd pay for that!

Knobs are better. If you overshoot your desired volume, you simple turn it back a bit. With buttons you need to find a separate control to correct your mistake.
