Wordle In A Day

This week the US news networks have been reporting on a free web game by Josh Wardle called Wordle, similar to Jotto, developed as a personal project and open for all. His variation has: one chance to play per day every one shares the same daily word words have exactly 5 letters you get six guesses You are told which letters match in place (green), which letters match out of place (yellow) which letters don't match anywhere (dark grey). I decided to try to replicate his app in AI2 under t…

Ideas for App Inventor 2 Anti-Awards

While watching athletes setting new world records at the Winter Olympics, it occurred to me that AI2 needed awards similar to the Ig Nobel awards for extreme anti-accomplishments. (edit - Thanks to Ideas for App Inventor 2 Anti-Awards - #58 by Dan_Davidson for pointing out the wonderfulness of the Ig Nobels) So here is my list: Platinum Jubly [image] This is named after Cups and plates meant to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign misspelled jubilee as “jubbly,” the BBC reported. The error app…

ciao Cris
conosco quell' app. E' un app basica ed lo sketch di arduino anche.
pl mio progetto è per un uso professionale.
comunque il mproblema è che non riesco a compilarlo. e credo di aver capito che il numero degli elementi usati sono troppi.

Hi @Dario_Lazzarin,
I've tried to compile your aia on my PC, and neither I am able to get it compiled. It takes a certain amount of seconds to load (!), and when your blocks are on my screen, the PC (DELL i5 with 8 GB RAM) slows downs dramatically.
I' ve tried to disable blocks here and there, but no success. The two warnings, though eliminated, are irrelevant.
Sorry, I have no other ideas for the time being. Probably too many images ?
Ciao, ugo

@Dario_Lazzarin

my project is for professional use.

That doesn't matter - what matters is how the Blocks are used. That project demonstrates a better way - and it compiles.

May I ask if this app ever worked as it should, as it is slow to start with companion plus it gives a lot of error messages.

Now to the bugs.
Procedures runs in wrong order e.g. you run the totali-procedure before filling in values for calculation.

I found this in three of your procedures, component et_ingr36 shouldn't be in this list but et_live36 should

I even found these mismatching blocks as it gave me errors when I did something, as et_ck11-16_fatti requires int and not string.

If it suits you, you may try this modified aia with lesser blocks (-5000) then yours..

P.S. You would need this file as well if you are going to add/remove but keep in mind to match the rows.

Hi everybody, @Dario_Lazzarin I will let you know my experience and how I faced this trouble at least 10 times with a very huge app.
The size of my .aia is around 1.5 MB and the .apk is around 6MB, it has 8300 blocks by now, but it had around 12.000 in the past, now also has six extension, only one screen with around 250 arrangements (maybe 20 like full screens an the others inside).
The issue came in my case always by the same 3 causes:
1- Puting very bigs blocks in the backpack.
2- Bring blocks from other projects or checkpoints.In particular if ther is a grouping of component with the same name. I mean, not tiny blocks of components that exists several times in the code, just I mean components like Procedures or Button clicks, etc.. (all that you cannot repeat).
3- Excesive copy/paste to create a very big block.

So, how I solved it?
Always, the 100% of the times, REDUCTING DRASTICALLY the quantity of blocks with "any components" metodology (also "make general" option in the menu").
If I reduce around 200 blocks my app compiles again. When I looked your captures I saw a great oportunity to do that, you have too much "Boilerplate code" and I am sure you abuse of ctrl C / ctrl V, like me.

I have analized my .aia in a lot of ways and the explanation I found is that the code compiles when the afected blocks that cause the erros at DX stage changes their blockId= in the Screen1.bky file in the .aia.
I had a moment when disabling a label.text in the code it compiled OK, and enabling again got DX Stage error, after that only it compiles again when this label appears with another blockId= in the Screen1.bky.
I hope it help you and the same for all.
It would be nice that people from MIT AI2 project show the logs of DX when it fails and when te same code compiles OK.
Good Luck !

If you read this thread from the beginning you can find several tips how to solve a DX error. .

See especially

Your build failed due an error in the DX stage, not because of an error in your program

your error message is DX execution failed here is SteveJG’s monster list of things to check https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mitappinventortest/fLiMEfPh09Q/1Ia0AaQEXogJ each point on the monster list might be the issue, why someone gets a DX execution failed error… that thread is a collection of several possibilities, which have been collected by SteveJG during the years while answering questions like that… hope that helps… Have you looked at that advice? It discusses many strange things that…
