Alright! This is a very exciting post for me as the official SRH APPS blog has been created for you guys!
Now, I am not an admin or responsible for updating the blog, its for release info on slugrail's work so I would definitely check it everyday! The previous free host always gave us troubles as the page or the site itself would be down all of the time due to some CPU limit... The most ridiculous thing ever but then money talks and they probably seek money so whatevz, we got a better one now! :)
Anyways, so the info on 0.6X script has been revealed so get going onto the site you guys!!!
http://srh-apps.blogspot.com/
This does not mean you guys shouldn't be coming back to this blog. -.- If you ain't goin be back, imma getcha! lol just kidding, I will be posting about more tricks and stuff like that or the best easy way to develop apps and tutorials, you know thats what I am here for.
Please, do not be a grammar nazi as I know I have made some terrible grammar mistakes in this post. Just a little exhausted and tired! GO GO GO !!!

Developing iPhone/iPod/iPad games on Windows/Linux with HTML5
Alrighty guys, I wasn't feeling good so I rushed through the video but I will try to mention anything important that I should have mentioned in the video in text here. :)
First thing is first, there is no doubt about how smooth the render of the game was or is, if you tried it yourself. Every time I talk to slugrail about creating a game for iOS using HTML5 etc, he always suggests me to learn Object Orientated Language first. And I thought, if I had to learn a OOL then why not start with Objective C?! At first, I doubted I could learn it, but then with motivational talk with slugrail and realizing how I was thinking, I figured I just had to be determined and just do it!
Anyways, the languages that you should start off learning with are HTML and JavaScript. I highly recommend using http://www.code.org/ to get started as there are very interactive tutorials on sites like codeacademy to help you fully understand the meaning of each function and how to use them. Creating a game might seem simple, but the way we are choosing (probably a hard way) is going to help us. My parents always told me, "Whatever is hard to do in life, always pays you off later". I sorta always lived by it and made it rule to follow. This applies to everyone while learning programming because it always makes you focus on your goal a little bit more.
I am sure by the time you have mastered the necessary languages to create your own games, the SRH Script will be ready to be released without that annoying popup and the ability to publish to the app store! But lets not aim for the moon while are still noobs (you [the beginners] and I).
I have come across a very powerful yet simple program called Construct 2 (you will need to find tutorials on it yourself as I haven't had time to explore it yet). Via this program you can simply use drag and drop function and create a simple game. Of course there are ways to get the program free, but I would buy it because of the awesomeness put into it.
If you think the popup is annoying, then send me a snapshot of your project and the binary (the file with no extension in the app.app folder. I will forward it to slugrail and have him remove the popup. I appreciate everyone enjoying this method and or learning from it!
Remember: You cannot publish it to the appstore due to the script containing 'extra' layers with special functions which means Apple will most likely reject them. So does this mean you cannot create the game without the layer? Hell yes you can! I am actually going to talk to slugrail to create a template without the 'extra' layer so that we know the difference.
Thank you guys for reading, watching the video and all the good stuff. Below are the links to the resources that I mentioned in the video or here. :)

Getting Started with Programming and TIPS! - iOS Development on Windows without Xcode!
As many of you might have already noticed that I have not written about any updates (although I am keeping up with them and so far everything, as far as the script is concerned, is being developed). I wanted to tell you all that in the mean time we can take advantage of the window we have open to learn coding. I have found the single most easiest way to do so. If you are keeping up with my blog posts, you will realize that I have mentioned code.org in my last post. Let me get in depth with it today.
http://www.code.org/ is a portal which allows you to go to other websites who have interactive tutorials on how to code. Now these are not just any tutorials, they actually have a lesson on the left and a 'assignment' area on the right (At least the one I use the most, which is the codeacademy link). Regardless of how poor you are at programming, you can still learn a lot of the site. For example, if you have never ever even thought about coding before, I would actually start visiting youtube links. I remember when I wanted to learn how to make websites, I was absolutely stunned to find out how easy it was to get started and I am going to link you to those videos...
HTML Tutorial 1 - Designing A Website In Notepad - Basics and Beginnings
That YouTube link is basically for those who are absolutely new to programming. What this will do for you is get your brain to start thinking of how exactly programming languages work. Now, keep in mind that every programming language is different. After you have learned the basics, I would suggest you visit code.org and visit codeacademy afterwards to start learning JavaScript because this will help you out big time in achieving your goals.
Now lets talk about goals... The main purpose behind SRH Script is to allow developers to use their existing knowledge and or talent of programming to develop for iOS. It is clear that iOS is the fastest growing platform with every kind of app possible. But along that awesomeness there are limits that Apple has as far as development is concerned. This method of developing does not hurt the terms of Apple and if you don't know what I mean, then let me speak clear English to ya. If you develop an awesome app using SRH Script, you can actually launch it in the AppStore!
Now the script has few extra enhanced features that Apple does not really like, but it will definitely be possible in the near future (fingers crossed for that) and I know that because I ask Mr. Slug ;)
Keep up with my blogs to find out what more you can do besides use jQuery to create website based app. ;)
As slug stated on the script page, I am a beginner myself and I am learning. This is the reason I have not been writing lately because I am either at school, work or learning at codeacademy... Also, past week was very tragic for me. My laptop broke. :( Without a computer I feel incomplete because it stops me from reaching all of you and especially FACEBOOK!!! Just kidding, its annoying. I do love to inform you guys of everything and laptop or not, I still got school computers to reach you all or I shall hijack my Moms computer (aka my old computer) to reach you all..
Be safe, learn and innovate! And remember this... If you are not determined, you will never be able to learn!
If you are distracted then stop learning because you will read and do what the exercises ask you to, but you will not remember them because your brain isn't focusing on 'learning'.
See ya in the next blog post! Comment your questions and I shall answer to the best of my knowledge and I am gonna try to get slug to answer your questions as well.
The not-so-serious FAQ:
1. I have questions about the script how do I contact slug?!
I must say, I have a lot more to say at this point (3/13/13) but when the time is right, the power of the script will be explained! And slug is wayy to busy to answer any questions on this stage of the script but ask me, I am not a complete newb, he gave me a brief description of the script which I can explain to you. :)
2. What do you mean by determined?
When you are learning something new, the window of your brain to let all the knowledge data in is closed. It is all up to you to open it up and let all the data in so that you can use it when he window closes. Nothing is impossible, you can even put toothpaste back into the tube if you tried! Think positive! Remember, an Apple a day makes you healthy, or something like that. ;)
