   Hi all,
   thank you for this nice framework.
   As a flash developer, trying this framework just felt me home.
   I have developed a simple game called "Math is Fun too" written as "MathIsFun2". Unfortunately do not have an appstore account. Waited almost for 15 days to get something working. But no luck. I do not want to keep the code hanging with me. So here I am putting the source code on GitHub.
   This is licensed under "unlicense". So no problem at all if anyone wants to make their own game on top of it, money out of it ( If at all that is possible with this game! ) or simply play around with this nice Sparrow framework.
   I am still working on updating the game by myself. If anyone kind enough to put it to the appstore, even testing it on their device, would be a pleasure to me.
   thanks

   Hi Saumya,

   that's great! Thanks a lot for making that open source! I am sure a lot of users will be interested in this and will be happy to play around with the source.

   I don't have the time to look at it right now, but I will do that asap =)

   Just tried it out. Quite good, takes a bit to switch between questions but looks good and has nice chunky graphics! Well done.

   thank you freerunnering.
   Actually when started there were animations also. But then removed them. Yes, it takes time to switch. It was intentional to display the user what he/she has answered. So the delay. But if its taking too much time, then there is a bug, will fix that in next iteration I think. Thanks about the graphics. I was intentionally drawn it instead of making the the texture so as to get rid of the device resolution factors. Will remove those tick marks also. Just thinking of an option how to design the UI so that I can avoid them.
   ohh, have you tested them on device?
   Anyone, please test it on devices and put a screen shot. I would be more than happy.

   Hi,

   I wanted to check it out, but I get a compiler error telling me that Sparrow/check dependencies/ missing SDK with the name or path iPhoneOS4.0 ... where is this comming from? And everyting in settings is set correctly.

   Is it possible I am not linking properly to the sparrows library?

   Cheers Arend

   Hey Arend,
   I first came across that error, when I was trying to test this game on new Sparrow release.
   Just change the debugging setting from device to simulator and inside project settings change the base SDK to whatever SDK you have. As I was not having 4.1, I have to make it 4.0.

   hope that helps

   okay, got it to compile and run,

   nice idea, it should count a score, show your progression, might have a time limit, what about levels? Anyway, once you think it is ready I have no problem releasing it, I have a dev-licence. As long as we keep it a free game I am cool with it.

   Cheers Arend

   yeah!!!!!!!
   Thank you ahnt. All your suggestions are noted. Levels I think might not happen. As it will go beyond 2 digits and current UI is not upto that. May think of the next version. Same with time limits. As my intention is to make a little kid study, I think they need to sit with parents to make them understand what and how mathematics calculations done. So may be not in this version.
   I think as a game for everyone else, I will think again and do it. Thinking of going paid there. And that will be upon another title.
   But glad that you are upto it. Yes, it will be free, as this is purely for educating kids. There will be game only version for everyone else, which might be a paid one. Just thinking
   I will update the progress soon. Wondering how branches are made in GIT. For the progress is taking another route of user interaction. I mean, there would be some files removed and some more added. So just thinking how thats being done in GIT, have to study that out I think.

   Can you please send a photo, how it looks in device, please?!

    Finally version 01.02.01 is up in GitHub.
    I am so excited. Sparrow and GitHub are both nice to work with

    Features added/updated are
    1. Device rotation will change the question type.
    2. Score count is added.
    3. Counter is added (but quick and dirty way, uses onEnterframe) Once its 1000, it changes the question.

    Please anyone put a picture, how it looks on device.

    Hey, Arend thank you so much for the inputs. Those really made me do the new version.
    cheers all

    Congratulations, Saumya! The idea with the device rotation is cool =)

    I finally had the time to try it out, and I sent you a photo of my iPod Touch 2G executing "Math is fun 2" =)

    Thank you Daniel.
    Thanks a lot for your kind words and taking some time out for me. That really means a lot to me.

    Coincidentally, I have tested on another friends' iPhone4 and 3GS too. They work fine and nice. Finally its a good feeling to see the game on device.

    Thanks lot, who helped me out with this. You all rock.
