Hi Mila.H
RE: DBA Canvas Template

1a - Source Code
Included in the download is the Source Code to run the DBA Canvas Template. We include 3 versions of the source code to help with compatibility: 704, 741 & 762. The 762 version also works with the latest daily build (767).

1b - Included Assets
The example designs/canvas’s are watermarked, these were used simply to demonstrate and visualise the application for the template.
All other GUI graphics, buttons etc are not watermarked. The main Splash Screen and background images on the menu screen are again used for visual purposes. Whilst not watermarked, they do have our logo and other elements within them.
As with any template, we would always urge you to insert your own graphics and make it your own.

2 - Is it working on iPad 3 Retina Display
We have not tested it on the iPad 3, it was only released a few days ago. What we do know, is the template runs under CoronaSDK build 2012.767 - which has been updated to handle the iPad3 Retina display.

3 - Template Upgrades
Depending on what is upgraded, we either supply new source code or, if the upgrades are above and beyond the initial templates functionality, we would look to provide a discounted upgrade to previous base users of the template.

Hope this helps

WOW! These are fantastic templates. Great job.

What I really would LOVE is a template for ads, in-app purchase and tweeter,facebook integration. That would really be fantastic. Any chance you could make some your templates with those features? I will buy them for double/triple the current cost!!

I am hoping to add those features to my future apps (maybe to current in-progess app) and that would save me (and I am sure countless others here) a lot of time if I could buy templates with those feature integrated already.

Just a suggestion.

Hi Darren & Wayne,

I signed up the news letters, some how I missed them before.

I also agree with Lemsim’s suggestion.

Really good job.

Hi Wayne,

I’m interested in DBA Canvas. Could you describe basically how you represent the drawn lines? Are they all stored as vector display objects (lines, circles?) or rasterised into a bitmap?

Thanks,

Just purchased the tower one =), i wont be able to look at it for a few days, just wondering what needs to be dont to ensure android compatibility?

Im assuming some file paths might have to be changed around for the audio? [import]uid: 104380 topic_id: 22933 reply_id: 103402[/import]

#14

Hi Adilch, thanks for your support.

I’ve just done a test Android build of the [Tower Blocks] template using Corona SDK 2012.783.
Tested on a Galaxy Nexus Android phone, the template runs ‘out of the box / as-is’, and very smooth. I didn’t need to modify anything to get the base template to run.

Hope this helps

When are we going to see more templates? [import]uid: 14218 topic_id: 22933 reply_id: 111568[/import]

#16

Would love to see some more templates too. Wasn’t interested in developing any of those types of games, but definitely have been wanting to do a platform “Super Mario” type game, and an RPG “Legend of Zelda” game.

Haven’t spent much time planning how to do these, and would love if there was a template to start with. [import]uid: 17827 topic_id: 22933 reply_id: 111610[/import]

Hi all, sorry for the delay (been working on a ton of different things lately).

We have 2 new Corona templates coming this Friday (20th July) - I’ll post more details when we get everything up on our web and store. We’ve been working on some more tools to help manipulate and manage PNG files too like our PNG Inspector (Lite) and Pro, as well as working with our artist Chris and Ben Reason - Music & SFX.

PNG Image Inspector
Explosion Generator
101 SFX & 5 Music Tracks
Animation Art & Characters

Thanks again everyone for your support.

Grr - can’t edit my original post…
I’ll just tag all our new stuff onto the end - unless a super powered mod can edit the original post - keep things neat?

OK, we’ve been super busy, but we’ve produced 2 new Corona templates for everyone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW: Super Crate Boy Template - £15 GBP
Corona 704a and 833 iPhone Landscape/Android versions available in download.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the famous Super Crate Box App. This template gives you the basis to build a fully immersive and compelling game. Shoot the baddies, jump around the screen, collect the crates. Its fun, manic and really addictive. Multiple enemies, and different actions help make this game more immersive, but add some more levels and watch the sales in the App Store coming flying in… Crates fall in random places - and have a randomly assigned weapon power-up.
This template includes 2 levels, with a level select system, from which you can easily expand into lots more levels.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW: Soundboard Template - from £10 GBP - Full version £25
Corona 704a and 833 iPhone Landscape/Android versions available in download.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A soundboard based Corona SDK Template. The FULL version includes over 100 SFX sound effects you can use in your other game developments, whilst the LITE version only has 5 SFX sounds (but all the functionality).

Both versions show you how to build a complete soundboard based application, with multiple themes, and multiple swipe screens (Horizontal & Vertical), for your users to select a sound.
The code is easily editable, just replace the sounds and graphics. Maybe add a few more themes or add loads of sounds. This template has been built for the iPhone Landscape, but we have tested it on Android Nexus phone and everything runs silky smooth.
Another simple thing you can do with this template is convert it into a MENU / LEVEL select system. Each button stores its ID/Level into a global variable, so you can load a specific scene or level based on the captured data. Watch the video and download your copy today.

Also - both of these new templates and EVERYTHING we have ever developed is all available to the DBA Resource Centre PRO users.

Cheers everyone - and thanks again for your amazing upport.

Hi Wayne,

Brought DBA Canvas recently, tested it on my devices. I notice an error in the xcode console:

Sep 19 16:07:00 unknown UIKitApplication:com.swipea.app.test.testapp2[0x5b98][525] : Lua Runtime Error: lua_pcall failed with status: 2, error message is: ?:0: ‘for’ limit must be a number

What is your diagnostic?
