Dear readers, followers, friends and everyone else. I’ve recently(!) started using Dropbox but slowly running out of quota. If you do not use Dropbox yet and want to get 500MB free space on top of their default 2GB please use the following link to sign up.
By registering thru that link we both will receive 500MB extra space for nothing! If you’ve found at least one my posts or code snippets useful, please click on this link.
This is just landed to my inbox and I had to share it! Guys at the Code’n’Web have made a very informative (and hilarious) video about spite sheets. This is part one, take a look at their web page for more.
I’m using Texture Packer for my projects and it’s one of our indispensable tools. I’ll post a review/tutorial as soon as I have some free time…
This is the product image of Kindle Fire that can be used to promote your app in accordance with the Amazon Appstore for Android Trademark Usage, Brand and Marketing Guidelines.
As you might know, Amazon provides badges & icons but an official product image is not available at the time of this writing. So, we have decided to make one for our own use and also to share it.
Attached image is a very high resolution (3025 x 4200) PSD image of the Kindle Fire shell on a transparent background. Status bar is also provided on a separate layer.
Find the Differences for Kids – Farm Animals! is approved by both Apple & Amazon and currently available for download…
As you might know while creating Game Center Leaderboards & Achievements in iTunes Connect, you are required to upload an 512×512 image file to be used as icon to represent those.
But when those are displayed in Game Center, icons are shown in a clipped circle with a border. So, it’s hard to tell which parts will be visible when the image is cropped and it might take few updates to get it right…
When working on our first app, we have decided to make a photoshop template to make things easier by taking out the guess work. Here is the masking template we ended up, ZIP file contains a Photoshop PSD file & a PNG file.
To use it simply place your image below the preview mask, after adjusting it’s position & scale, disable/remove that mask and use the result as your leaderboard / achievement icon image.
