This document summarizes a gamebook app created for iPad users, including fans of Fighting Fantasy and role-playing games. It describes the app's design, content, functionality, users, and the contributions of the two creators. The app was programmed in LUA using Corona SDK and contains over 50 pages of original narrative and artwork. Key features include an interactive combat system, character progression, and a bookmarking system. User testing was conducted via surveys, analytics, and testflight to evaluate the app's usability and design.

Practics of Cross Platform Development with Gingee (case study)DevGAMM Conference
Creating a game for mobile and social platforms has been a tedious process that burns a lot of time and resources of a company’s pipeline. If you are still working on a single OS or you have several teams developing your games, this is the session for you. We will case study and show how it is possible to create a game for multiple platforms while using a single code and assets base thus making it much more manageable, utilizing the minimal possible man power and saving a lot of money.
Qt World Summit 2015 Talk by V-Play: How to Develop with Qt for Multiple Scre...FELGO SDK
A summarized version is available here:
http://v-play.net/?p=10928
*** Quick Summary ***
This session shows how to develop applications for multiple screen sizes, screen resolutions and form factors like phones, tablets and desktop PCs with Qt. We show how you can use the same code base, while having native-looking UIs across platforms like iOS and Android with Qt and V-Play Apps. This involves tips for responsive design with Qt and a comparison when to use Qt Quick and in which cases C++ is the better choice.
We cover dynamic image switching, content scaling and basic Qt Quick features like file selectors, Loader elements, Layouts, QML Singletons and property bindings and compare the use cases for each of them. In addition, we introduce a density-independent approach you can use to create Qt apps on different resolutions and screen densities.
This talk also explains which V-Play components you can use to increase your application downloads and user retention. And how to measure the success of your apps across platforms.
This presentation gives you a technical overview with code snippets and hands-on examples of the possibilities with Qt for multi-screen development. For a non-technical overview of this topic, we recommend the first part of this presentation in the Qt Technology Strategy Track.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
