Vote Roadmap? Give us the Needs then the Wants.

@wizem. I do experience the same problem and have adjusted manually for it. It is frustrating and takes some time to correct with multiple builds. It would be nice if it were fixed. [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16386[/import]

Thanks for the response guys!

Ok, in order to add options the collected responses need to be cleared, so if you’ve voted, you’ll have to re-vote, I’m afraid.

I’ve added the options I thought were appropriate, considering my previous post, including an “Other” text box.

Here’s the link again: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=4DytB6xKWboHRgsg13S3qw%3D%3D

As for responses, unfortunately I’m using the free version of SurveyMonkey so I can’t auto post the results. However I will take a screenshot and post that at intervals, depending on popularity/hit rate/etc.

@wizem & @amigoni I’d just like to mention that while there are a great many bug fixes on various dev’s wishlists, I’ve deliberately kept them off the wishlist poll in order to keep it reasonably sized, targetted to features which Corona doesn’t have and because there is an issues reporting system on the site.

Having said that, I feel your pain.

m [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16388[/import]

Yeah, I agree it should probably stay off the poll. Feels good to share the pain though :smiley: [import]uid: 8145 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16389[/import]

I am still such a noob, that I don’t even know what some of that stuff is. I look forward to learning it though! [import]uid: 13512 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16402[/import]

Mark the ones you’re unsure of and I’ll probably post a description list… [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16407[/import]

Btw, only 9 responses so far. However, I accept that most Corona subscribers are probably in the USA. I’ll post a snapshot of the stats in about 1.5hrs, just before I go home…

@horacebury :: WOOOOOOT Thanks !!!

OK. You have just humbled us.

You guys, all of you, are just awesome !!

Nothing puts a smile on my face when seen real feedback from users, both good and bad …

YES ! This drives us even harder to make even a better product for you !

Carlos [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16412[/import]

how many of us here are old enough to remember the good old 33 lp’s? vinyl records?

ok if you do… then put your memory hat on and lest see if we can remember putting on a record listening to it and all of the sudden, the record is scratched, and is stuck repeating the same thing over and over and over ad-nausea-um.

Thats me when I say, the bits are frozen, and we are making all the necessary changes to release.

Remember, this is just not about the DMG, but about daily builds, bug base, bug submission forms, new website with new documentation, etc…and all of them have to work in unison otherwise, I will get flack from you and I wouldn’t don’t want to put my flack jacket on…

If some of you do follow my twitter, you will know some apps have been submitted to the app store with features you have requested… So… :wink:

Feel the love ! YEAH BABY ! Oh behave ! << thats the morning triple shot latte talking

pss: how do I c the results of the survey?

c [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16414[/import]

I already filled the survey out, but the ones that I am not clear on are:
MakeItFly() function
Pixel access
Render to image
2.5d Image transforms

I am sure if I googled them I can get an idea of what they are though. [import]uid: 13512 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16416[/import]

Ok, the first round of results is in:

More tomorrow…

@jasonlh:

MakeItFly() function
You’ll never find this on Google… This will be a function that will make the iPhone levitate and fly in any direction of your choosing.

Pixel access
Identify the state/colour of a pixel or set of pixels and change it directly. (Someone please correct me if I’m wrong)

Render to image
Instead of drawing to the screen we can draw to an image file and create our own graphics files on the fly.

2.5d Image transforms
Think of the Star Wars intro scroller. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16419[/import]

@Matt: Thanks for doing that. Results were interesting and sure to generate discussion - “Who the *&$@# voted against makeitfly!?”

Image was a little too low res for an up close zoom, but could still make it out. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16420[/import]

hmmm… Just read Jonathan Beebe’s blog via Carlos’ tweet:

http://jonbeebe.tumblr.com/post/2726165170/corona-sdk-revisited#blog
In my previous review, I mentioned that Corona needs to have more native user interface (ui) elements included. More has been added, but A LOT more is coming soon, very soon

Well we know Jon’s had access to the good stuff under the counter and implemented in-app purchase. So presumably he’s also seen the new native UI elements in the next build.

Carlos, you jackal… drop some more hints!

[EDIT: added link] [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16421[/import]

Thanks bedhouin…Those make total sense to me.

LOL…I really look forward to the makeItFly() function!! [import]uid: 13512 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16422[/import]

Hi @jasonlh,

Pixel access - being able to paint individual pixel in images or display objects
Render to image - convert a display object into a jpg/png in order to save it out, etc
2.5d Image transforms - distort images by more than the current ops, like position the corners of an image explicitly
Makeitfly() - a joke (I considered makeTeaAndToast() but it wasn’t under the radar enough)

Hope that helps,

Matt [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16423[/import]

This might help too: http://gallery.me.com/horacebury/100001/IMG_0082

Btw, this screen grab was caught, cropped and shared entirely on iPad and iPhone :slight_smile:

Matt [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 4142 reply_id: 16428[/import]

OK… Great feedback… now a few words from our sponsor… (HUH? WHAT? Is Carlos still on a coffee high? How many triple shot lattes has he have had by now?

What is *IN* in the next drop just a few days away (big ticket items)

Asynchronous HTTP
Universal Binaries
In-App Purchases
Bitmap-Masking

  • Other surprises as well…

Carlos.

What? No MakeTea() ? :wink:

Can’t wait!
