Hey guys. I haven't posted in a while and I just recently learned the fundamentals of making an actual tweak thanks for http://ioscheaters.com and its members.
Creating a tweak for iOS is basically tweaking the actual system or the application. Obviously stuff like Display Recorder or even iFile is faaar from what I mean here but this tutorial will hopefully help you get on the right track.
The first thing is first, you need to install theos on your device. To do that, I will have a separate post because its just that lengthy and time consuming but for those who find how to install theos before my post, here is a video that I kind of explain how to go about making a tweak.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VveKsb4QOps
I will do an actual commentary soon with more options and FULL tutorial of how to make these type of tweaks and if this method can be used on games and such.
If you are a Objective C coder, then hey this might be a new door opener for you! :)
Enjoy.

Creating Apps on Windows without needing Mac!
TheOS is a very handy tool that is limit-free. You can code for iPhone/iPad/iPod and make actual apps.
I personally do not have much experience with TheOS as the most I have done is make a MobileSubstrate hack for a game called Monster Mayhem. If you are planning to release your app to the appstore I would recommend you either get VMWare and run Mac OS X under it for your development. The VMWare copy of Mac could be slow or fast, depending on your system. Friendly tip: Run Mac on computers with 6+ GB of ram.
Coolstar is the person behind all this awesomeness, and you should refer to his website for more information regarding this tool. I have actually made a test app (default app that you literally just compile right when theos starts) on my iPhone and I have to say I am impressed.

[Tutorial] Construct 2 - Making a classic shooting game walkthrough & publishing to the appstore
Making a game is easy. Piece of cake if you will. Even though I don't like cakes, I still like to use this line a lot ;)
Anyways, recently I have been following a little guy's tutorial on how to make a basic HTML5 game that is remaking classic 1945 Shooting game in HTML5. Its a pretty cool experience since he knows that you are a beginner watching his video and he will walk you through and explain every bit of Construct 2. I personally love his tutorials because they explain every function of Construct 2 that he puts his cursor on.
HTML5 games are easy to make and even easier to export using Construct 2. Before you wonder how exactly this will be converted into an app then my answer is that you need to pay Apple before you can use the entire 'app' making process. Notice how I didn't say game though. You can still make the game and test it over Wi-Fi and for that you are gonna need the paid version of Construct 2.
Why pay?
Its simple, the reason why you are learning how to make apps is because you wanna make some money off it. Now there are multiple ways to make money off your app and release it for free. If you are thinking ads, then you have hit the Jackpot. Ads are what runs the game now. This is the reason why you should probably invest into a Mac and get the developer account from Apple for 100 dollars. In the end, if you are motivated, the investment will pay off! I have seen so many articles of games being made by 13 or 17 year old little dudes or gals, and they are millionaires.
My dad says, "Money is not hard to earn because its up to you work hard for it, however, spending it and saving it is a true skill".
What if I don't have enough money for a Mac but I got $100 dollars for a developer account?
Well, look into Hackintoshing and running Mac OS X (whatever) on VMWare. The point is that you need Xcode and after you get the developer account, you get two certificates that you need to install on your iOS Device after you have built the app in Xcode (Construct 2 or google has the instruct to do so, use Export feature in Construct 2). You need to add your UDID to the data-base but that's not what I am concentrating on. I am trying to convince you all that just make the game. Don't worry about publishing it and making money off it until you have tested the app yourself. Afterwards, everything is gonna be a piece of cake. :)

HTML5 Games on iPhone/iPod/iPad as a Native App!
Alright, I know I have been absent for a while but I was actually experimenting with a 'trick'. I was trying to download HTML5 games from an HTML5 games site and link to it through my basic html code:
It didn't exactly work and I am somewhat glad it doesn't because this would be just another step in protecting your game. When you do download an HTML5 game, to the extent that I have tried, I was receiving errors.
This is what happened when I launched the app, obviously the current 0.34 version of the script uses the html files and I linked the file to see if it even loads the page, but it did not.
Now, I used a PC to download the entire page (And I do not know how to download the HTML5 game since it has image files).
So yup, that is pretty much what I have been up to in the development for iOS through HTML5 / Web designing languages.
There was a report that there was a bug in IPA Installer app which is developed using the SRH Script but since slug himself made it, its a little advanced and this brings me to my next point.
The next version of the SRH Script will be very secured because the HTML files will not be visible to the users. Please do remember that everything is in beta and for educational use only. If you are looking forward into going in-depth with your app, consider learning more languages unless you know how you will be secured through the web languages. :)

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. ;)

Easiest way to learn to code!
I was fooling around facebook and what do you know, the creator of facebook shared a video. It was about learning how to code and how him along with other creators of programs and machines used on daily basis were made. Simply, if you have the power to generate an idea and you know how to code, there is nothing in the world that can stop you from making that thought a reality in the cyber world. Cyber World is a world where there are less rules and freedom of every kind. Obviously basic rules still apply, its part of the nature, or in this case "Cyber Nature". So without further blabber, I proudly introduce http://www.code.org/ Its friendly environment and real class like features are just astonishing. If you have no idea what a programming language is, it will start you off by teaching you what it is.
Recently, I introduced you guys to iOS development on PC/Linux or Mac without Xcode... Today, I link you to another great aspect of the Cyber World by linking you to code.org
I hope you guys learn a lot from the site and may you be one of the future programming wizard. :)
