Question About App-A-Thon

08 April 2013 - 03:13 PM

I was reading about the Windows 8 App-a-thon at http://www.yoyogames..._appathon/terms and I just wanted to make sure I understand everything.

In order to qualify for the Visa gift card, do the two apps submitted need to be created during the App-a-thon period or can they be made and submitted as soon as the App-a-thon starts? As I understand it, the first 20 submissions at the start of the promotion qualify. Is that correct?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for questions about these things.

Thanks!

Clipboard

Is there a way to access the clipboard while targeting Windows 8? Is there some permission that needs to be granted?

Windows 8 Settings charm

07 December 2012 - 06:11 AM

I'm using a html file for the settings charm and I just realized the manual doesn't talk about communicating between them. Are UI controls not supported yet for the settings charm or is there a way to do it?

Windows 8 incoming connection problem

05 December 2012 - 12:41 AM

In my project, I use the "http_get" function to access a script on a server. The server then returns some information. Everything works fine on the desktop, but when I test it on Win8, the server is accessed but the HTTP event is never called. I have the internet checkbox checked in the settings, but I think that's just for outgoing connections.

I don't think anything would be blocking it since it works fine on the desktop. Is this something not allowed for Win8 or is it just a bug?

EDIT: I think I may be getting something now. I'll update this if I get it to work.

EDIT2: It turns out it was a server-side issue. It looks like everything is working now.

Determining desktop or Metro

Is there a variable that will enable me to check whether the game is running on the desktop or on Metro? I'm targeting both platforms and would prefer not to add in a variable myself.
