Release of AI Project Constructor V0.1.3alpha

[Gareth Haylings]

I have just released the AI Project Constructor software utility for public download (Click here to download)

Before posting question please watch the 3 video tutorials for the software as these explain:

• (Tutorial video 1) - What the software will do, How to install the software
  
• (Tutorial video 2) - Using the software
  
• (Tutorial video 3) - Creating new projects with the software
  

I've created  a number of custom controls and App Inventor project template which can be download from my website. These  App Inventor code snippets can be used with the AI project Constructor software to create your own projects.

If you need any help or assistance to do with the software please post any questions in this forum.

Thank you and hope you find the software useful

Hey Gareth,

This software looks great.  Can it be used with the new App Inventor 2 code?

Hi David

Glad you like the software.

When AI2 was first released I did create a version of the AI Project Constructor that was compatible with AI2 and it worked really well. Due to all the changes in AI2 since its release I have taken it off the internet for the moment as I need to do a few modifications to get it to work again with AI2. I will be releasing a new version some time soon and anyone who donates will get the next release of the software for free.

I can't give you an exact time scale at the moment for the new release of the AI project constructor as I am working on extending Mad Robots AI with a lot of extra features at present. One thing I will also be adding to the AI project construct is a conversion tool to allow you to import AI2 project and convert them so they will work in Mad Robots AI.

If you would like to try out the current version of Mad Robots AI visit mad-robot-dev.appspot.com

I will be releasing a new version at the end of the February hopefully which will include:

• Multi touch canvas  (*New in V0.2alpha)
  
• Soundmeter component (*New in V0.2alpha)
  
• Filemanager component (*New in V0.2alpha)
  
• Arrangement component - combine the verticalArrangement horizontalArrangement component (*New in V0.2alpha)
• Titlebar hide/show at runtime (*New in V0.2alpha)
• Menu Setup (*New in V0.2alpha)
• MakeColor SplitColor - blocks enhanced to make them easier to use (*New in V0.2alpha)
• Sound component - enhanced with effects and more control
• Player component - enhanced to give more control and sound track info (e.g. sound length, current play position, etc)
• Canvas component - enhanced with basic physics
• Imagesprite component - enhanced with Animation, basic physics, advanced motion controls, new resizing properties
• Ball component  - enhanced with basic physics, advanced motion controls
• Button component - enhanced fontsize added to blockly editor, touchUp & touchDown events added

I think there are a few other mods as well. Nearly the time of release I will make a full list of all the mods. You can follow my progress on this and all my other projects at www.themadrobot.taltalk.net
