[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Update:

Its been a while ... just over a week and a half. It probably seems pretty useless to post this update, but once again, I want to say that I got a very good amount done.

Now, for all you thinking "He keeps saying he finished a lot ... how much is there on this website?" ... well, in reality i guess there is a lot and not so much at the same time. It depends on what you think is 'A Lot'.

So, I decided to do what I usually hate doing: I am going to apply numbers to what I have done. Now, some of these may be disappointing, considering how much I have said I have finished ... but new things pop up as I add features, so I have to add a little more each time.

For the INITIAL Stage, this is what I forsee having finished:

Main Page -- 80%

Login Page -- 95%

Product Page -- 60%

App/News Submission & Editing -- 70%

New User Registration -- DONE

User Profiles -- NOT STARTED

User Panel -- NOT STARTED

So, giving each things 100% value, there is a total of 700% to complete. Of the 700%, I have completed 405% ... which is just about 58% of the website.

Now, this number is pretty upsetting because it would seem to indicate there is a lot of time until I am ready...That however, I do not believe is the case! Let me explain. Just because a page isn't 100% done, doesn't mean there is a lot left to do.

Let us look at the Product Page for instance. It is dependent on being able to have USERS, so I had to wait until I had registration done. While registration wasn't done, I outlined the whole layout of the page, and worked on the structure of everything. Now that I have finished registration, I can make the Product page load the data from the correct location, like it should. That background code, which I have planned in PseudoCode already, accounts for 30% of the total page. The last 10% is Widgets, which may not be there on first public release.

Let us look at the main page now. The same concept applies. News Stories and everything will be present there ... so I say that about 20% of the page is equivalent to the background code that is required to load all the information. The actual layout is there and done.

The Login Page is actually done, programatically, but I want to redesign it a little bit.

Application Submission...its a hard one to quantify, I may be a lot closer to finished, or I may be very far. I am going to simplify it for the initial release, then work on it later on. Once again, this page relied on registration ... which is now done.

Registration: DONE :) Just recently actually ... that is the reason for the following 2.

The User Panel and User Profile pages are not done, because I literally just finished up registration last night. Those shouldn't take too long, because I have the ideas planned out, and the structure planned out. I just have to template it and implement it.

So in reality, I am pretty close to finishing ... even though the numbers may not agree with that conjecture.

I feel terribly about the delay, but I refuse to release something that doesn't work well.

Another thing:I NEED PEOPLE TO REACH OUT TO DEVELOPERS [windows mobile AND android] ... I have only gotten 2 PMs about this ... THE XDA-MARKETPLACE SIMPLY CANNOT EXIST WITH JUST 2 DEVELOPERS ... PLEASE GET THEM TO PM ME SO I CAN LET THEM KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.

PS: NEWSWRITERS, IF YOU COULD PUBLISH A MESSAGE LIKE THIS IN THE NEWSFEED ... I PMed ONE OF THE NEWSWRITERS, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE.
