Sexy Girls on mobile
@techdojo - often lurking, and watching with horror as my name drops down the list :). I've been busy with real life and not been able to indulge my programming habit as much as I'd like. Not interesting at all.

Is everyone else out there male then? Is this the reason why I never understand the really long threads about games written in 2.5 bits?

UIKit Issue?
Right - thanks. I've updated the github ReadMe for UIKit to point to your blog, @bowerandy, and also your post.

UIKit Issue?
@bowerandy, @MikeHart - I haven't had a chance to use Hot Wax yet. Would it be a better solution all round to use Hot Wax rather than UIKit? Or is UIKit still better for a quick solution? If UIKit is completely superceded by Hot Wax, then I wou…

UIKit plugin extra
Looking at StackOverflow, there are a lot of questions about this - this question has a good answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8600125/activity-indicator-not-showing-up?rq=1 Most of the answers suggest using performSelectorInBackground:wit…

@scurvyrat - That is actually the behaviour I would expect. In Cocoa Touch Objective C, if I have a function (pseudo code): Show Activity indicator Do a ton of stuff Hide Activity indicator Then the Activity indicator will never show. If you we…

@scurvyrat - thank you for the changes. I'm away from my Gideros computer for a few weeks, so I'm unable to check them out until then. But someone could create a new Github fork, then I can do the merge when I can check out your code :). O…

in-app-purchase example
Afaik, Apple has recently supported hosting contents on their server. (But I haven't tried it yet) I haven't tried it either, but it's new for iOS 6, so I think if you want to support devices that aren't upgraded to iOS 6, then …

about ipad screen and image scaling issue
I don't believe there's any such thing as an automatic @2.4 scaling on the iPhone. I would have expected the top_01~ipad.png to work. (For Retina iPads, it's top_01@2x~ipad.png.) But I haven't tried this myself.

@SimpleLoop - I merged your files which look absolutely fine - good job!, and then changed them a tiny bit: 1. Changed uikit.mm to accept button.new() as being "Rounded Rect" by default, in case people are already using it that way. 2. Pr…

@techdojo - I may be falling behind in the post count, but I try and visit most days :). I'll take a look at everything tomorrow, including your busy icon.

Sorry, I'm away from computer life due to family illness :(. I hope someone else can help.

MHUIKit plugin View addView question
I'm not in a position to verify this at the moment, but I believe it is because of garbage collection. When a subview is added, it is not released fully when removed. If you are not removing subviews, then I think it's OK. You can uncomme…

Objective C in Gideros Studio
I think that Gideros is also good for prototyping - I have worked out some concepts and layout designs in Gideros, that I will be transferring to Objective C.

Greetings from İstanbul!
Welcome, yvz5! - you probably have the advantage of being able to pronounce "Gideros" correctly :-))

Sample iPhone plugin
:) There's also the Plugin section in the Ultimate Guide, that may have other pointers. (That was written after this example, and uses some of the same code.)

State of mobile game development
My belief, unsubstantiated, is that you either put a heck of a lot of time and marketing and luck into one or two apps, or that you have a gazillion small apps and luck. I have a 99c puzzle app, that is downloaded once in a blue moon, and my scrapb…

Are there constants for colors?
I don't know of any, but there are a ton of online tools you can use. Here's a page with a color chart: http://html-color-codes.com/ And here's a color picker which shows you the hex code at the top: http://www.colorpicker.com/ I&#…

Bryce, Hexagon, Daz Studio for FREE!
@mcfilms - DAZ are rebuilding their site, so you might find some difficulties over the next few days. I should imagine their support is backlogged too. And the forum is down too. This is the way it's supposed to work: Firstly you're supp…

Pixel level access
I use pixel level access in my non-Gideros app to detect touching transparent png shapes. If the pixel is 0.0 alpha, it does not respond to touch.

The proper way to clear a parent group and prevent memory leaks?
@Mells - yes - but I worry about how you are defining "self". "self" should be used in a class that you have defined. Is that how you mean to use it? I don't know the answer to the second. I do know that the first one "…
