We worked on this game about a year, and it looks no chanse to publish it in App Store.
So it is pushed to Open Source on GitHub: https://github.com/vsergeyev/sol

Here is game video samples:

Just added two useful functions to Rain class.

    rain.pause()

pause() - removes rain renderer from on-frame handler.

    rain.resume()

resume() - set rain renderer back to Corona on-frame handler, so it will make it rain again :)

IMHO: highlighting search patterns in text result better UX and love.

Found this idea somewhere and little improved it:

highlight: function(q) {
    var re = new RegExp("(" + q + ")", "gi");
    // Highlights search results
    $(".highlight-on-search").each(function() {
        var el = $(this);
        el.html(el.text().replace(re, "<span style='background:red'>$1</span>"));
    });
}

Ndbadmin is my pet project to create lightweight and easy to use admin UI for Google App Engine webapp2 projects.

Today I added an option to specify sort order for items in admin UI.

`order_by` - set it in model's Meta and specify a field, same as in Model.query().order()

Example:

class Item(ndb.Model):
    name = ndb.StringProperty()
    class Meta():
        def __init__(self):
            self.order_by = Item.name

Maybe I reinvented the wheel, but working on gae project with webapp2 I haven't found good and lightweight admin UI to meet my needs. So I have spent one day to write an universal CRUD handler and UI for it to create, edit, remove and list items of specified Model.

Twitter Bootstrap CSS has been used to make it look good.

The idea of admin UI is to place Meta() class inside model (yes, it's feels Django-like :), and define in it templates and fields for create/edit form.

class Meta():
    def __init__(self):
        self.fields = [
            fields.TextField("name", "Name", required=True),
            fields.BigTextField("description", "Description")
        ]
        # optional
        # templates, '/templates/admin/[model]/' path
        self.c = "" # new item template
        self.r = "" # items list template
        self.u = "" # edit item template
        self.d = "" # delete item template

It is pushed to github at https://github.com/vsergeyev/ndbadmin

On github lives live gae application with demo models and usage samples.

Lutsk.io - July 28, Lutsk.

It was a lot of fun to make it happens and I want to say "Big thank you" to all spokespersons and participants. We discussed a lot of interesting things: Corona SDK framework, UDK kit from Unreal, node.js and npm, Flask micro-framework and Erlang. All this new experience is damn great.

Right now it finished uploading videos from conference and you may watch it on Lutsk.io page: http://www.facebook.com/lutskio

Consider display groups as layers in your on-screen scene.

It is always already exists 1 main group on scene - "self.view".

Group is regular display object with (x, y) position and (width, height).

Inspired by miniredis-ruby I spend a few minutes to play with python. And so it is - "miniredis", 20 lines long redis client (Pypi, Github).

Usage is quite simple:

    import miniredis
    cli = miniredis.MiniRedis()
    cli.set('a', 1)
    cli.get('a')
    cli.sadd('b', 1, 2, 3)
    cli.smembers('b')

Redis has sorted sets, which is quite useful to create indexes.

ZADD [param_name] [item_id] [param_value]

This will add element into sorted set [param_name] with reference to [item_id]. Item ID is member of set:

SET [item_id] [payload]

Payload can be for example JSON encoded string, so later you may retrieve it and pass to web-browser. In browser JavaScript engine will use this JSON data to display, for example, in jQuery template. Efficient and easy.

Here is actual quick sheet:

"Turtle Cross Stitch: sandwich" is iPad/iPhone application for cross stitch.

Application is one-chart, with big tasty sandwich chart and DMC threads table.

Big tasty sandwich, looking cool and detailed. But only you will know, how easy this chart to complete.

Pan, zoom, switch layers function available. It is best and most comfortable to work with chart on iPad's big screen.

Application currently on review.
