One crazy idea for implementing this would be for everyone to set a flag in their browser that indicates how academically inclined the user is. NERD=0,1,2...9 Then wikipedia paragraphs can just be labeled with the minimum NERD value as a CS

Unfortunately, I have a Mid 2010 MBP that is not covered under this warranty extension. It crashes/restarts all the time with a GPU panic that is caused by the nVidia card, and triggered by the OS. It never crashed with Snow Leopard (t

Props to Jeff Vogel for surviving (and succeeding) for two decades. I remember enjoying the Exile sharewares back in the 1990s. I'm glad his company's art style hasn't improved that much. :-) Gameplay is king, after all.

No one can be an expert at everything. Pick exactly one topic to get good at. Learn to ignore other topics, or just dabble in them for fun. It's very rewarding to learn one thing well.

But why wouldn't that same parent prefer a game that was free to try and then have a single IAP to unlock the full version? I'm a parent and I'd love to not have to purchase lots of $1 apps. I'd rather try them for free

People don't pay up front for games anymore. They need to make a MV 2 that is free with a few levels + IAP to unlock the rest. That way more people can get hooked to the game mechanic and decide to upgrade. Also, it still looks like an

1gam and ludum dare are great ways to experiment with new ideas, but they rarely result in the level of polish needed to succeed on the mobile stores. Of course there are crazy success stories like Flappy Bird, but even Notch spent a lot of

Art and design are subjective, but there ARE color schemes, game design "rules", and UX rules of thumb that will make your app more pleasing to the end user. A good exercise would be to download/play the top 100 games on the

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I agree it's important to talk about the 99% of indies who never get to the top of the app stores. I downloaded your app. The best feedback I can give is that it's too difficult to get through the gates wit

Nice story, Steve. It's cool to look back over a career / life and think about what you've done and where you're going still. I think I'm about 15 yrs from where you're at... also a fan of music, although due t

I use gfxCardStatus ( https://gfx.io/ ) to avoid the GPU panics. I have to set my MBP to use the integrated Intel graphics and avoid using my nVidia discrete GPU. Yes, it would be nice if my OS didn't cause GPU panics

If your app is an Open GL game, you can check out the Kamcord SDK, which will allow you to make a screen recording of your iOS or Android game. https://www.kamcord.com/ It won't be as fancy as the videos in the linked

I think it is like why people become artists or musicians. Poor pay & very little recognition (except for the 0.1%) but it's fun to create something with your own two hands and see your vision slowly become reality.

Nothing wrong with default fonts... :-) I've used many an app that uses nothing more than Helvetica (Neue). Maybe it's just taste, but I found Letters' font to be too rounded. It's like Arial Rounded, and reminds me of C

Hexiled looks great! The graphics definitely stand out (especially the space theme). I'll play it tonight. Best of luck. I do think the OP's apps look a little too much like Letterpress. If I had seen them in the App Store, I woul

Half (50%) of iOS developers and even more (64%) Android developers are operating below the “app poverty line” of $500 per app per month. Maybe it's because there are so many clones and one-off experiments on these store

Maybe (someday) you can build two different UIs to the same return. For example, I can hire a CPA and then share with him/her my return. I can upload the docs and numbers, and the CPA can do the magic using the bare metal UI. I heard f
