does it make any sense to pack a whole game as aix? I have seen this one and other one like tic tac toe.

You may use music enabled property and set it to false.

Yes, it seems that your extension with Companion has the wrong path to the assets. APK works.

The paths to the assets are different for Android β‰₯ 10 and < 10. See here:

are you using any library? If yes, please credit the library author
Why it’s a good idea to give credit by Corey Wainwright.

Nope, not a library, i took reference from some open source GitHub projects

Then please add external links to the GitHub projects.

Umm why? reference is not using the full library but just really small parts of code .

That is still work from others. As you can see from these screenshots, other developers also give credit.

An example except taifun? look taifun is very good and gives credit for every small things but in case of me and others i dont remember from where i take references because i look at a lot of codes for reference so i cant give credit for 100 codes.
Try to understand. :sweat:

However I have customized it much [listeners, custom db, colors, music,etc]

I will make my sources public soon too :slight_smile:

You might want to add this reference by editing your topic :slight_smile:

Nice job.

In the world of App Inventor having an index of 0 is strange. Indexes start with 1. So to make this work...

I have to subtract a 1 from the index.

Can you change the extension so it accepts 1 as the start of the index instead of 0?
