the list of broken features or not working as described in the manual. Propose here to define the features which are not as specified in the online help of other guidelines or do not work at all.
I suggest

SetEditBox() coupled with SetEditBoxExtendedFont() -

on Android does not accept characters with ASCII codes greater than 127 (why we need a function SetEditBoxExtendedFont ?!! ),
were specified working

GetRAWGeoLatitude()
and
GetRAWGeoLongtitude()

after much wrangling TGC apologized, offered to return the money and has marked these functions as broken. If they can give me back my 50 summer days, the money you can keep.

You know this is impossible.

I agree with some of your grievances, I agree that the help files need to be more explicit it terms of what works on what platforms, but comments like this are just antagonistic and don't help.

I am 38 years old and I can't throw 50 summer days due to the fact that someone has put me in error. I'm waiting for compensation from the TGC in the form of a working GPS functions and EditBox functions working with ExtendedFonts on Android and iOS.

and let's fill up this list and keep the topic at the top - so that others would not fall into such trouble.

Engineer, They wont fix extended font that one is to silly to fix on your own. I told you how to do it by partitioning the subimages file. That is the best solution right know. TGC also said they will fix gps latter so stop bugging them.

I don't quite understand: why do I have to correct THEIR error with the EditBox? Or is it in a conscious discrimination on grounds of nationality?! Maybe it's actually racism?!!! Maybe they hate everyone who doesn't speak and write in English or does not use the Latin alphabet?!!!
Then it's a matter of the police Department.
They have introduced the function SetEditBoxExtendedFont, pointed to what she and I require to make it work.

Ok I miss spelled partitioning but using the load file function, and reading the lines to partition that subimages out of the file will work.

Guys take it easy, and no TGC are not racist or nationalising anybody...

Bugs happen, it happens even to the likes of Microsoft/Apple, so you need to be more understanding...

If you wanted this thread to stay on topic then demanding your time back and now throwing around accusations of racism is not a way to do that.

You shouldn't but it's the reality you're faced with. A solution was offered and you ignored it.

Engineer this is how things have worked here since the Darkbasic days.

Don't expect some things to be fixed, you just have to find a workaround for them.

This is ok for hobbyist work. But this is the reason why pros use other sdks

let's compare with the toy buying it you can see the sticks, antenna, machine (cutter) insert the batteries, press ON and see what it goes (floats), managed by, buzzing. So?! Why AppGameKit should be otherwise? Because inexpensive?! Then specify that the product to be in constant development and improvement might not work, not work at all, not work as specified in the manual or help.


indeed, buying a People's Republic of China toy, 0.1 pound hard to get good quality. If English TGK is People's Republic of China programmers and entrepreneurs it is necessary to inform the users.
Wow! I found the comparison - you ever seen a car Lada?! Here AppGameKit this as this car, it does not go - it always repair and modify!

Engineer, your attitude stinks, sorry but it needs to be said...

I have issues with the some companies but you take complaining to a whole new level...

And I take your dim view on The Chinese as a racist offence... please remove that comment immediately

Engineering you can fix GPS if your a good enough programmer, There a few people on these forums that have actually fixed it I believe. I am not one of them though . I think the problem with GPS is that Google requires a user to use there gps functions. Since TGC will have to pay for google to incorporate the gps functions I do not think it will be fixed any time soon.

1) I'm getting annoyed by constantly repeated rants

2) If your app requires GPS and it took you fifty days to find out, maybe you should try gardening instead

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?

If you think that a company like TGC is able to stole days of your life then you better take a look to your past, and find out which other company did this also, because I really believe that you are not older than 16 years old...

egghead, I have only the function of the registration system client application 1300 rows. debugged (!) rows. and how many of the basic production code! And then I install the app on your device to login to my server, which is also written in AppGameKit and see that they do not work! But here I have crept into the idea that may not work something else...

Quote: "george++"



if I was 16 years old, given the fact that I am Russian, I promised you to come to the UK on a tank in the near future due to the fact that our President started the Third World War. But I'm talking to you politely and rests on the fact that I was deceived and sold me unprepared product.

By law TGC is not required to compensate you for your loss of time. What you do with your time is non of their business. They have offered you a refund. If you are not pleased with their product then kindly take your money and leave. There's one guy working on AppGameKit and he is working on a different area. There are other features more requested by the community. No matter how much you post about this matter it wont change anything.

I would say your behavior does not follow the Acceptable Usage Policy.

Well this thread got weird fast. I don't think it pays to keep it open as there seems to be a bigger ulterior motive by Engineer than just listing incomplete AppGameKit features.

For completeness and to help you log your issues where they will be seen by TGC staff, here's the information from the sticky at the top of this board. It's not brightly coloured to antagonise, it's always been this colour (since September 2012):
