I finally started working on Brain Zap again. It's looking really nice. Compare this GIF to a video I had made 4 years ago when I had originally envisioned the project. Back then I was working on DragonFireSDK (which, surprisingly, still exists) but I've since switched to Corona SDK thanks to a suggestion a while back by Xilef.
How do you find CoronaSDK compared to DragonFireSDK or whatever?
It's absolutely great for my project. Once you get used to working with tables, everything is quite easy.

You can check DragonFireSDk if you want. I used it before I bought a Mac. It's written in C++ and allows you to build iOS apps on a PC. However, it's riddle with terrible, terrible shortcomings.

I am thinking of making an app that interacts with my game which uses location, pedometer and local time in order to give resources and gold.

When I say thinking, these are long term plans.

The app would also provide forum access, chat, messaging, trading, guild management, user guide access, and account tools.

I'm just not sure if it is possible to launch an app that is just a webpage with an ajax request in it. Apple probably wouldn't allow it.
Apple are perfectly fine with apps that are just webpages inside UIWebView, but they discourage the practise because it's a sign of a shitty app.

From making a game that uses a pedometer and local time in order to give resources and gold, I can say that using the pedometer directly is a bad idea. A lesson I learned from my testing is that it's better to just detect movement and let that allocate N minutes of "game play time" in which various events occur. Pedometers in phones are amazingly sensitive and end up detecting a lot of false positives, so you can walk 10 steps and get 10 steps, but the act of sitting down will give you 10 steps just as easily...

Third eye is open. I can see people's aura now. I thought these spiritual people were crazy, I owe them a big apology. Pretty amazing experience. I can literally see who's happy, depressed, angry, or sad. I have no idea how to turn it off! Auras are obstructing my view and vision.

The happy people are lit so bright, especially children. :cheers:
 
Can anyone tell me if this works for them?

Should launch a chat client. It works for me in Chrome, but for some reason Firefox doesn't even attempt to load it (it just stays on the page I'm on). Not sure if the error is there or elsewhere.
 
I need to set up SSL for my website. Doesn't use login or any personal data, but it's generally recommended for anything that exists on the web these days.
 
Unfortunately it's a bit of a...

well, not a scam. But. There are four main SSL certificate providers. Usually starts from around $999 a year.

You CAN get a free SSL certificate by going via Letsencrypt, but one of the four above is actively trying to shut them down (by registering "let's encrypt!" as a trademark despite never having used the phrase, and Letsencrypt existing for years).
 
What am I doing with my life?

Read someone describe the USA as "the richest 3rd world country"
