eMagazine created with LiveCode submitted to Apple

Post by ctflatt »

Good morning, everyone!

I have just completed a project for the school I work for which is a digital version of a student-produced print magazine with a theme of turning "Fear" into "Hope." This is my first project using LiveCode, and it would not have been possible without the help and guidance of members of this forum.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who responded to my questions. I have learned a lot from your contributions, and realize that I have only scratched the surface.

This will be a free app, and I will update this post once it has been approved. You can preview it here, if you wish.

Thanks, again!

Lovely work. I'm impressed with the quick load times between pages. Did that require a lot of optimization?
Check out my LiveCode program, WriteSpire, on the App Store!

Thanks to everyone for your support.

No update yet on approval, but will keep everyone posted.

Richard, thank you!

Klaus, merci...

witeowl, yes, fellow teacher here :)

Jellicle, thank you. Our students responded well to this theme.

observ3, the only optimizations done were JPEG compression of first-generation art for the background images, and PNG files of text for scroll views, all implemented as referenced controls.

JosepM, thanks! Hope all is good with your app development.

Fred, the scrolling text field is actually a UIScrollView. The "text" is a transparent .png set to scroll with a bounce behavior within horizontal bounds. Let me know if you need more info... it was a bit tricky. I'd be glad to prepare a tutorial if you think it would help.

More to come soon, hopefully.
