    Where could I contact this Skylark person?

    @eternity
    Hoping to have an official version in the App Store than having it on Cydia. Not everyone has a jail broken iPod.

    I can't just work in this thing every second if my life. The end if 2013 was my safest prediction.


    @spektyte (again)
    That tablet configuration looks great, but I was think of having the while screens as you action window and to change you element or cursor size you would open up a side menu that to could scroll through.

    Skylark occasionally visits the IRC, and is on the EST timezone, so you may be able to find him there.

    Under the license you must disclose the source code. So basically there is no real point to charging if someone compiles one for free. Second, Skylark can be contacted by search "unaligned.org email" or something. That's the way I got to contact him.

    If you ported it to Java for Android or Objective-C for iOs, you would be able to charge for the app and would not have to release the source code. If you reused parts of the source code, you would have to make it free and open source.

    I was thinking of making the app from scratch, begin at 0 and work myself up.

    Though the TPT name is copyrighted and so is the name of elements, I think.  I guess I would have to remake a new TPT with different element names and a different name if I wanted to charge.

    I don't know, I am not sure with legal stuff, but I for sure do not want to violating any CC stuff.

    Even though I have read up in the simple codes that can be used in ios apps, I am yet to upgrade to os x Lion and download XCode.

    Ordering a 864 page book to teach me the basics of Objective-C, Cocoa, and Xcode.  Gotta long way to go...
