I am new to appinventor. I got the bee sound app to work. Now I am working on mole mash. I am about 2/3 of the way through that but now a really bad bug has crept in. From a fresh start I can add 1 block, then when I try to add the next one I get an error and no further progress can be made. If I close out and restart the emulator and aistarter it says it cannot find the aistarter so launch it and try again - of course this does not work either. I have to re-boot the entire system to get one new block.
What is the error message Tom? A screen capture would be helpful.
The MIT Server has been running slow and glitching recently. That might be your issue. You should not have to re-boot the system to get a new block. This is not a bug. The Mole Mash tutorials work fine. The problem is most certainly related to huge volumes of Internet traffic and overworked MIT servers. You might get an improvement by waiting a while and attempting to code when the server stabilizes. When will that happen? .. when it happens. This could be exacerbated by issues related to your Internet provider handling large volumes of traffic too.
Hey SteveJG - well, you were right - it works now - thanks
What I could not do was open any of the files under Screen1 (eg MoleCanvas, MoleSprite) - those produced errors, but since I was able to proceed I am assuming that this is just something that you cannot do at that part of the process
I have not yet tried to load it onto my phone so no doubt there will be more adventures ahead
Hi ABG - I was able to get it running - thanks for your help
What I really want to do is have my FLL team develop a fitness app that requires tracking your location while traversing through a course. I suspect there will be plenty of challenges.
Do you know of a good source for learning "all about" app inventor and for looking up answers to problems?
