… the next time I say, "I can code that in a weekend." So I just spent about five hours today just getting the storyboards square for that hidden movement app. Stupid smart phones and their tiny form factor.

@Meiczyslaw At least you can code and have an artist. All I got is designs, designs, and more designs, with no way to bring them to fruition. Just keep it as a hobby thing, maybe go with Kickstarter once you have a working alpha. There's no pressure on you to get it done TODAY except what you put on yourself. Good luck, mate!

That'll learn ya to brag! Yep, pretty much. I'd forgotten how much work a really good GUI is, and hadn't done the math on the phone screens. Apple recommends a minimum click-able area of 44x44 pixels, so you can't actually fit a ping-pong table with a 6" grid on a phone screen, and still have selectable grid squares. That ended up being my big challenge on Friday. (I went with a correctly-sized Scroll Area that you could zoom out of to see the whole map, but zoom in when you attempt to select areas smaller than 44x44.)
