Imagine that you no longer need to wait for compilation. Imagine that your app saves its state, and after compilation, it is not restarted, but the code you wrote, will be updated in the running application. Imagine that you have your code in your favorite editor and then, instantly, your code is already in the running application. Imagine that you saved in photoshop "skin" the interface of your application and then, in a split second, he updated on the screen of the running application. Imagine that you once installed and launched in development mode the app on the IPad, and the app in the "iPad" is updated directly on the device in real time. The fact that you can create as many instances of the desktop app on different computers, devices and at the same time they can test the whole team? Presented? Great? Dreamed about it? And, drumroll, it has happened, it all became a reality. Meet COLT!


COLT. Code Orchestra Livecoding Tool. It is a small program that tracks changes to your application resources (code, images, sound, etc.) and in the change event of the file, launches special, incremental compilation, which will create a small file that contains only the changes that you made (in contrast to the usual practice, when a Flash/AIR app collects all over again). And deliver a working application.

You can edit files from the IDE, you can take the changes from the version control system. Can just "share" folder for the designer, give the network address of your application, and the designer will live to change the files in the folder and immediately see the changes.

You can track the code changes by subscribing to events and create new libraries, approaches and revolutionary tools for developing games and applications. You will have new ideas of how to improve your work!

Never flash/air development was not so fast and productive. Feel the new pleasure from flash and mobile development with COLT.

mSearch: search + filter for MODX Revolution

Изображение
Something blog MODX habré completely withered, we need to spice things up. I want to introduce you to your component, which has recently been almost completely rewritten and expanded. It's called mSearch and originally conceived as a simple site search with account of morphology of the Russian language. That is, you had a quick and easy solution for any site without installing Sphinx and other major systems. In the process gugleniya, I came across a interesting this task by phpMorphy . Full text search on a table with an index, with the generation of different word forms. The idea I liked, by my criteria it came up and I wrote my solution, basing this method. the mSearch This snippet and plugin. The snippet is looking for the plug-in index documents when saving. Installation, as usual, from the repository, in 4 clicks. At the same time, you will be prompted to download and install for phpMorphy dictionaries of the Russian language — do not give up.

Emulator data from GNSS receiver NMEA

Introduction I had the need to test an application that uses the GNSS data NMEA. was Due to the fact that worked on the project navigation of the aircraft, test the air expensive naturally on earth to drive a car with a GNSS receiver is not particularly convenient, that like sitting at the table to have a virtual parallel port data Protocol NMEA allegedly moving equipment. First, search for different software had to try and find something suitable, but most paid and control of the emulation data is not very convenient, although practically emulate all settings of the NMEA standard. But I needed something simple emulating coordinates, speed, in principle, nothing more was required quite convenient and logical control. So I had to write an app of this kind in C#. Fly_nmea NMEA ("National Marine Electronics Association") — the full name is "NMEA 0183" is a text communication Protocol, marine (typically navigation) equipment together. Data is transmit

The game Let's Twist: the Path into the unknown

earlier this year, a group of experienced developers worked on the game Studio, violating all canons of mobile development. Low influx of users (or rather his absolute lack of), lack advertising budgets and publisher support dismantled the team, and it was decided to take a risk and create something of their own, to prove to ourselves first that big budgets and famous is not the main success factor. In this article I, Arthur, founder and game designer of an indie team ArmNomads Games (consisting of three people), I want to share passed us by in the dangerous wilds of mobile gaming. From idea to final release. The main objective of the idea was the search for a particular publisher and the target audience. We knew that to do something universal is very difficult. Guided by the limited resources and time, it was decided to cooperate with the publisher Ketchapp, but at the same time, have escape routes. To this end, we attempted to combine the minimalistic gameplay and beau
