Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

So guys, I am currently in one of the only app development classes in the world (as far as I know) within my school. I was thinking that because FFR didn't have an app of it's own, I was thinking of making an app that let's you access;

• Your profile
• Forums
• Song Info
• Level Stats
• Gambling Hall
• Song Shop
• and probably more!

Things you won't be able to do... just because it would be impractical;

• Play the game
• Change background (depending on the format chosen)
• and probably more, as me being in class does not give me much time to think on my own and freely... in class I get about 48 minutes to work on whatever.

Sadly you would not be able to play the game... but at the same time, I don't think anyone would want to play RATO on an IOS device. It's almost comical.

I want this to really be a thing, but I would be working on this for a really long time and don't know when it would be finished. I'm currently in school and working on this, for now, I have to plan out what is NEEDED and what is WANTED. I would like feedback on how you would all feel about this being a thing.

Once I get back home, I will be able to elaborate more on this, but I just wanted to get this stuff out there so I do not forget.

Make it so we can access the video database so I can show my friends easier.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

tbqh an FFR app that ISN'T for playing the game will only confuse newcomers

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

read this as "i don't know how to do this so i won't even attempt it"

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

It's impractical to play the game on IOS, being that some songs are hard enough on a computer. I can do background, but that will be a latter thing I will add, not in my priorities.

I don't give up easily, but at the same time, I don't like to waste time on something I have nearly no clue on how to do it, when I could work on things I DO know.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

bluetooth keyboards are a thing

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

you couldn't play ffr on iOS anyway because it doesn't support flash

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Unless a new engine is created that is supported by IOS.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

rhythm games are totally practical on iOS and it's pretty dishonest to use goddamn RATO as an argument against it
the only problem (lol only) is that you'd have to rewrite the entire engine, but ofc i want to see that happen regardless

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Call it ffr community or something like that. Profile chat MUST, replays MUST. Access to games chatroom would be nice but you'll have a near impossible time implementing the first two.

Talk to ffr dev maybe they'll give you adequate information/access to make this possible. I would like to see it done but, it would honestly be useless without profile chat as I can do everything you listed more than adequately on safari...


Good luck

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

whether we can play the game or not on it, i think its pretty cool that he's going out of his way in the first place to try and make this app. i say go for it, and good luck :)

EDIT: like what mr_candy said, it would be very useful to have profile chat in there. very nice suggestion.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

I could include a Rhythm game aspect to the app, but It would be something that would be a more than one person team project, I can do the app, but rewriting an entire Engine is not something I can fathom right now.

I am sorry for using RATO, but it is a real thing that people try to FC, and those who try to AAA. Also, i don't think many would be happy only having about 3/4 of the songs available to play.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

I was just having a discussion with a group of people how the usage of Apps or even how most of them are a "Cookie Cutter" for the next App to come out, is completely asinine. I personally would never use any such app, because it's more reliable to just sit down at a computer for ten minutes and check anything I need.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

one of the things that is wanted is for the app to be available for android too

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Facebook on my phone, why? Because I want to access facebook when I don't have a computer available...... It's the exact same thing here....

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Profile chat is definitwly an agreed must, though the hardest part. not including the rhythm game part of it. I do think replays/videos are also a must, and one of the easier parts of the app. Just a reminder to everyone. I AM THE ONLY ONE WORKING ON THIS, I AM A ONE MAN TEAM! i'm even getting shit from my fiends who play this in school... And i got a detention for being off tast on my Ipad, writing in these forums, that is how dedicated to you guys and gals... dancers...

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

not sur how to make it Android friendly. That would have to be from someone who knows about that to work mith me, now or after I finish.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Talk to arcrmx he's an app developer iirc. The profile chat with access to the back end would be pretty simple for him.


But yeah to make this remotely decent you'll need heavy involvement from ffr staff otherwise you will end up with something no1 will use

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

I've never owned a phone in my life, because I personally hate phones, and this is my opinion, so of course it'll be wrong in other's eyes.

In terms of making FFR an App, it would be very weird and uncomfortable to adjust to because FFR has been a website for the past 11 years.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Yes it would be wierd, but I want to contribute to this community as much as possible. Change and development is necessary in all things, and I think this is the next step, that is not a new engine or a new website format. We can branch put durther with this and make it an even bigger community!

あああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ

and where can I contact arcrmx and the devs for info, and which dev do I contact?

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Pm prawnskunk with your idea and what you need. He'll tell you how it is

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

the only (lol only) people in ffr's history who have tried to aaa are dossar and staiain

mina already aaa'd

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

this is a joke guys,

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

You are right, but my main point was that it is not the easiest thing to AAA songs for some in the first place, and that making the game partial IOS would not make it any easier to AAA, it would probably just make it harder.

and not to reiterate,cbut remaking an engine is not something that I even know how to start. I can atleast start on the main app.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

If there is serious thought in making a FFR App, then it would only be for prochat/forums/etc. The engine of FFR or even the capability of playing FFR as an App on the phone, should never become an App.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

yeah because no one plays app games zzzzzzzzz

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

lol, kinda true...

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

uh

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

uh?

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

lmfao

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

hint: dam slunkin on the flance door

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

ffr as an app would be so awesome

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Second page, nobody linked this thread ? http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=139680

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

well shit

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Well f**k... I didn't see that... Well now I feel really stupid for trying to make an app...

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

LOL Velocity's user groups.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

you probably hate phones because you can't afford a decent one. which is cool im not hating you for being poor thats your choice and i respect that

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Still going to continue to make the app though.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Big News! An app(of sorts) has been in heavy development for a long while now! sorry everyone! I do plan on doing something for the community though! I will continue my thinking! maybe like FFR the mobile rhythm game!

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

You wouldn't have said anything if that was the case.

If you must know, it's not because I'm poor. I dislike having a phone for many reasons, apps being one of them. I'm not one of those "this generation" kids who puts their entire wallet in their phone for upgrades or who spends at least 10 hours sitting on a phone just looking at useless shit.

You should watch what you say.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

welp

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Oh ok

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

ok

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

how cute i bet you guys make a cute couple

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

rekt

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Damn zenith you got issues. Get a phone peasant

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

triggered

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Replays and Prochat are flash based, so I'm not sure how one would make the current versions work on anything. Prochat is designed around how flash works so I'm not sure how to reimplement that into a non-flash based system.

Also MWT.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

You not use a SQL db for them? If so then yeah really wouldn't be that hard makin an ios/android equivalent if not, remake the chatroom in HTML 5 jquery w.e you fancy just not flash :') voila wouldn't even need an app then web browsers more than good enough.

The replays; i'm able to watch flash videos on my phone idk how they've done it but their has to be a way to do it. Just guessing would mean remaking another version of it where it's simply a non interactive flash video if you're accessing it from your phone, then just add whatever ios player thing most streaming sites use



@bmah: close enough

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

You probably haven't found him, because his username is actually arcnmx: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/arcnmx/

Shoot him or Velocity a PM for further inquiries. :)

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

replays aren't just flash vids brah

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Kinda why i said it would need reworking to make them so.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

http://socket.io/demos/chat/

< 300 lines of javascript, just add some authentication and voila you can use it to replace prochat

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Ooo nice find! Not gunna lie ima be quite upset now if profile chat doesn't go js. I literally cannot think of a single reason why this hasn't been done years ago

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

It uses a Node.JS backend which we currently don't have access too.

We've looked into different ways to move away from flash, but currently it's in the planning stage.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Acute couple indeed.

FFR The Game is somewhat playable with a keyboard using the Xtreme Browser app. Tried several apps out for FFR months ago and it was the best.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

I feel like it is possible to run a flash player app on android, but for awhile now flash hasn't been apart of android Chrome at all. Everything that used to be flash is html5.

Could be possible, certainly not on iOS though.

Re: Flash Flash Revolution: The App
 

Oh my
