Well just like the title says, i'm gonna build an ipad/iphone app, with lua

so if anyone has any ideas...

Also, in this forum i will keep the interested people informed

Now, how the hell will i program lua ON-ipad, yes yes, not on my computer, but on my ipad, so i can test it whenever i want

Well there's a nifty app called CODEA , it has an incredible awesome UI and is easy to use, and it uses LUA

What kind of app would you like to build? Would it be a game or a development tool, for example? Also would it be for jailbroken devices since it uses a third party programming language tool and that it costs a lot of money to put your app on the app store?

Also it might be a good idea to avoid excessive use of caps and exclamation marks in topic titles.

yeah sorry for that xd

well, it could be any kind of app really...

and i think i'll go with the app store... because the app i make with lua can be converted to a app store app

as for now i started to work on a visual html/css editor...

ooooh those, i like them

i could do that... but first i'm gonna make couple of progs... and eventually if all goes well take them to the app store

but i already got my first question.. i lua, co-ordinates are from the left-bottom, is there a way to change that to upper left?

edit: i mean, isn't there an easy way, or do i just have to write my own fuction for it? like x coordinates are the same
but for y coordinates i'dd have to do pageheight - y - elementheight

so i'dd have the x and y of the upper left corner of an element

edit2: ok so on pc it is upper left, darn damned codea xd

edit3: well i started the binary puzzle thing, and it goes quite well

so far i only finished the 'mapping'
and the extra 'block placing' shouldn't be to hard
but that's for tommorow, gonna sleep now

and i might make a project topic for this project, but idk yet, first gonna see how it goes xd

Good luck

. Also another cool idea would be to port some calc games to iOS. (No, not Wacky Fun Random Numbar Generator v1.000069)

stevon8ter · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:02:48 am »

haha, well sure i wanna do that

but then i'dd have to know what games i have the permission for and what games i can port

and i'dd have to have source code in basic or in axe (i can't read/write asm,:s)
