New CocoonJS Launcher App Released

I tried the ludei Android launcher on my Samsung GS2 for my Ninja Fart Hero game. It worked nicely at 80-110fps, though:

• It was displaying landscape instead of portrait, so I only had a small area to display the game in
• All text was very small
• I use a black tile to fade in at the start of each layout. The fade had criss-cross black lines through it until fade completed
• None of my hyperlinks to web pages work any more (they work fine with PhoneGap)

The game did seem to stutter a little in parts, although the frame rate was still showing high.

I can't test it on my iTouch as it has iOS version 4.2.x and Ludei says the launcher will only support 4.3+.

All looking pretty dang good - I can hardly wait for the cloud build service!!!

I've been trying my game on using the ludei Android CocconJs launcher on my Samsung GS2.

I am having similar audio problems as others have described. Sometimes I get audio, other times I don't. Often, I get audio late, e.g. a second or two after the event. (I don't have music.)

Also, I am getting a weird PNG transparency issue. When I boot my phone and launch Cocoonjs, the images all look fine, first time. On each subsequent I relaunch the Cocoonjs app however, all sprites lose their transparency and show instead a black background. I have to reboot the phone to fix.

HI, ludei and everybody

maybe is should open a new thread cause this seems to have no activity for a couple of weeks, buy anyway,

i'm trying to use cocoonJs, but i keep getting this error:

JSUtilities Exception: TypeError: Result of expression 'a.canvas' [undefined] is not an object. Cause: Tag: timer Function: function () {a.go();}

Don't know what it is about, the only function i'm using that can be related to that is "wait x secons", but if i remove it, it still give me the error.

someone have seen the same error? if so, how were you able to fix it?

Behamut - can you post a bug report to the bugs forum with your .capx file? Thanks!

I've run many tests with audio/music in CocoonJS and additionally in Appmobi. I have a children's book with BGmusic + 2 stories with 38pages each page with narration (10-25sec).

Music

-----

With R100 I have the BGmusic working great, but unfortunately the looping is not a feature, so the hack/solution for this is to make a timer: manually start the BGMusic in every X minutes, where X = lenght of zhe BGMusic. It works!

Narrations

----------

For the narrations I used to play them as Sounds, but I have very late or no narration start for first time I go to a page. When I second time go to a page it started, but not played trought the end, but for about 10 seconds.

The solution were to use the preload action in C2, if I preload on start of layout the narrations, they start to play immediately on a page, and they play trought the end. Hurray! :)

The test was done with preload the first 4 narrations, but I have 2x38pcs of them, so did a for loop for preload all of them. Well, the app starts, the custom loading screen loads the content, and when the preload starts CocoonJS Launcher seems to get busy... but I can capture the last action in it. It seems to PRELOAD the 28nd narration, than it freezes.

I think the next step shuold be to make a smart preloading logic for myself: preload the next 2-5 narrations, and keep preloaded the last 1-3 of them, and in every page unload all of the others to keep the memory usage low. I think that this 4-9 preloaded sounds shouldnt make memory problems, but keeps the sound playing stable.

I loose the developement line. Remember that my audio preload tests were successful, but now with R101 I can not reproduce the working mode... :(

ludei I would like to ask if you have any solution/alternavice for the C2's built in Browser opening action. I would like to use AboutUs/Rating/CrossMarketing linking, but have no idea, what should be the CocoonJS compatible way.

Any news anno dec 2012 on textbox and comboboxlistbox compatability with cocoonjs.

My app depends on those 2.

And i would really like to use cocoonjs.

Kinnd Regards.
