It's something I whipped up in about a week. Hope someone finds it useful :). Here's the Desktop version: http://westerneducation.org/games/play/Challenge_SAT_Vocab_Q...

The desktop version doesn't require a login.


You can find a working instance of it here: http://cmsfire.timnuwin.com/


I created this tool because I was tired of Resizing icons when publishing apps to the iOS store. Also because I don't have an iPad or the latest iPhone the screenshot generator handles that [despite it being distorted slightly].


This thing's unplayable on my iPhone4. Welcome to the fragmented world of HTML5. Runs perfectly fine though on my i7 2.8ghz desktop rig.


It runs smooth as butter on my three-year-old 3GS. Smoother than a lot of websites, actually. Are you perhaps using a third-party browser or something? Because otherwise, unless there was a serious regression with the iPhone 4, I think something's wrong with your phone.


It could be due to the retina display. iPhone4 has double the resolution of 3GS. Drawing 960x640 pixels vs 480x320 in canvas is going to have some noticeable impact.


my iPhone4 gets ~60fps in Safari, using iOS 5.1.1 (latest).


I'm running Safari on it.


Are you still on iOS 4? Mobile Safari in iOS 5 had a new, hardware accelerated, canvas implementation.

Otherwise I have no explanation why it runs slow for you. As you can see in the video on the article, the game should run just fine on an iPhone 4S.


on the iphone 4: "Result of Expression 'document.getElementByID("drop down_progress")'[null] is not an object. File: undefined line: undefined.


That error is from the page overloading. Secondly, it won't run on mobile safari anyhow (Best will be 1 fps tops with no audio and no keyboard input).

Mobile Safari will never run this right.


Just implemented the ability to process payments for utilities / rent / groceries, etc.

Bovis.In allows tenants or landlords to make public announcements within a house, pay each other for rent, utilities, etc, and you can also post anonymously to avoid being confrontational.

If anyone's interested on the technical stack, I'd be more than happy to explain it.


Probably going to implement by next week depending on how busy I am, but I'll be adding:

-Ability to pay certain tenants utilities

-Emailing

-And any layout / UX changes that makes sense based on critique.

----------

But anywho, I made this site because I'm going to be moving in with a bunch of people who I'd rather not connect with on Facebook yet I still want to stay in contact with.

I added the anonymous feature too because previous roommies were too scared to confront other roommates who were too loud + obnoxious. I don't know how effective it'll be but we'll see.

Also, I wanted to play around with CSS + twitter's bootstrap:

The template that i used for the bootstrap theme was from here: http://bootswatch.com/


Ted Leo was kind enough to let me use one of his songs in my kick-starter video.

I'll be more than happy to answer questions if anyone's got any!
