So I picked up my sphero today - it had been gathering dust for a year or so - thought I'd get back to writing some orbBasic stuff.
Visited their site and found this:
http://sdk.sphero.com/robot-languages/oval-oval-language/
But I can't find any information about how to stream the instructions end control the execution. Is this still work in progress? Maybe an accidental leak?
If it is available, that would be great. I can't seem to follow orbBasic stuff I'd written over a year ago. Not a fan of managing line numbers and figuring out what those variables hold.
Oval is a feature in Ollie and soon to be a feature in Sphero 2.0! Both the Android and iOS SDKs will be released on Github to support Oval at the same time as the firmware update enabling Oval.
Get the new Sphero SPRK app from the apple app store. It includes the firmware upgrade that enables Oval on Sphero 2.0.

right now, I’m on a study project for School. I'm french. I have the Mavic Air drone, and I do to control my drone with my computer. DJI Developer has some SDK for different plateforme, whose a Windows SDK. But it was in beta version and he don't support the fly mod.
I think, to take the OX SDK (Android Version in JAVA) and translate it into a Java App for a Windows version. OX SDK support drone control commands. You thinks it's a good ideas ? And some people can help to translate this app ?
Can you help me find a solution? Have you some command-line to give to me?
Thanks you all.
It's unclear from your question if you've actually tried to implement the Windows 10 SDK and ran into difficulties or if you saw something which stated flight is not supported by the SDK. According to the SDK documentation (https://developer.dji.com/windows-sdk/), high & low level flight control are supposed to be supported. For example, the ComponentManager.FlightControllerHandler has methods such as StartTakeoffAsync, StartGoHomeAsync, etc. Joystick control is available via the VirtualRemoteController.UpdateJoystickValue method. So far, I have only used these while my Mavic Air is in simulation mode (without propellers on!) and haven't encountered any issues. But I haven't seen any documentation that states the beta SDK doesn't support actual flight either. Before launching into a conversion effort (does DJI even provide the source? I haven't checked...), I'd stick with with Win10 SDK.
I've created an iPhone game which utilizes some code from an old version of the Cocos2D iPhone game development framework and I've got a wee bit of a problem running it on iOS 7.
The version of Cocos2d from which the code was used was probably 0.98.
The actual class is called QuadParticleSystem (in newer versions it's been deprecated by CCParticleSystemQuad).
The actual issue is that the game runs fine on iOS 6 and below. It even runs fine on iOS 7 if the deployment target is set to iOS 6.0 and SDK version set to 7 (at least when put on the device directly using XCode).
The problem is that when the game is uploaded to the appstore, Apple seems to strip out the whole iOS 6 compatibility thing and the particle emitters fail to show up among other things like alpha transitions, invisibility etc.
(They initialize correctly and everything, but they simply DO NOT render).
I've considered (and tried somewhat) upgrading the Cocos2D version, but due to the old third-party frameworks I've used for other things there is a hell of a lot of linking/dependency/deprecation errors which could take forever to fix (if it's at all possible, which I doubt) In other words, I've wasted too much time on the project already and am looking for a quick fix.
If no one knows any solutions could anyone at least direct me to docs where I can see how to create/insert a new particle emitter system in the existing code?
I've thought about using SpriteKit's native emitter system, but I don't know how to incorporate it within the current code (as I've never had dealings with SpriteKit) and am not sure if it's even possible.
I've also thought of maybe upgrading the GL ES framework within that old version of Cocos2D just in case Apple have killed off some functionality of older versions of OpenGL. Then again that could take a while.
I was hoping that the Android version of the AR SDK was released since "The Rolling Dead" was released on Android.
Is it around for download now? What was used to create "The Rolling Dead"?

Currently the Sphero AR SDK only supports iOS, but we are working on Android.
https://github.com/orbotix/Sphero-AR-SDK
The SDK was added and then removed because it was unstable, the team no longer has time to update it.
Small discussion at the sphero forum:
http://community.gosphero.com/discussion/59/sphero-ar-sdk-for-android#latest
I'm interested in testing with Sphero AR for android as well and occasionally check in every few months or so to see if there's any new plans, thought I'd leave an updated answer :)
I spent 10 days trying to debug iCloud connection for my (extra cool) app coming... Its really hard to set up when you use Core Data. Now it doesn't work on device with iCloud on.
I want to ask if there is ready open-source solution to copy&paste code to my app for it finally to run?
Thanks!
***Not interested in iCloud analogs like parse, dropbox...
There's code around, but code is not the problem. In the current versions of Mac OS X and iOS, and in the current version of whatever server side code they're using, Core Data with iCloud often just fails to work. This happens even if your code is exactly right. Start with Apple's sample code (including the SharedCoreData example from WWDC 2012), and if you have specific questions, ask them. But getting the code just right is not enough. File bugs and hope that future versions of Mac OS X and iOS are better.

How can I develop for iPhone using a Windows development machine?

I'm interested in learning IOS programming but at the moment i do not have access to a Macintosh system. Just wondering if there is an equivalent of IOS SDK for Windows? I do have an iphone though :)
You can check out GNUStep which is a cross-platform objective-c API that you can work with on windows. Not exactly the same, but you can at least get your feet wet in working with objective-c and cocoa-like objects.
You need a Mac to get started with iOS development. However, you could google "Hackintosh" and try to install Mac OSX on your windows laptop, which will enable you to install XCode and later iOS Development.
Yes, there are indeed development platforms on windows for the iPhone and iPad. The usually do not support the native iOS language: objective-c. However, most of them to allow you to build and or deploy onto iOS through some method or other. Here are a few recommendations:
DragonFire SDK. It is currently only for game development, but if you're really determined you can make a non-game app simply by adding UI elements programmatically (however this can be very painful). Dragon Fire SDK runs on Windows XP, Vista and 7. It costs a bit of money to be get full features from the SDK and submit to the AppStore. Here is the link: http://www.dragonfiresdk.com I have used it before, it works wonders. You can develop for the iPhone or iPad and it's all in C/C++. It comes with examples and help files too.
Stencyl. This is a simple and easy to use Game IDE that allows you to deploy your 2D games onto multiple platforms: Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, etc. STencyl requires no coding, however if you pay for the full version you can add your own objective-c or flash code. Here's the link: http://www.stencyl.com
Unity. Unity 3D is a very complex and very high end (in other words, expensive) game IDE and engine that lets you build 3D games for any platform (almost any, ex. iOS, OSX, Windows, Xbox, Wii, Playstation, Android, Linux). Unity costs (on the cheaper end) $1500... so this is probably not the best solution if you don't have the money to buy a Mac which is around the same price. However, if you're looking for one of the best Game Engines and IDEs with options to distribute to literally every platform, you may want to check it out: http://unity3d.com
All in all, DragonFire SDK is probably your best bet. It gives you the most flexibility on your PC for the price and it doesn't take a huge learning curve. I tried DragonFire before getting my Mac or knowing about iOS Development. And I had a simple guitar app up and running with DragonFire in an hour or so using my prior C++ knowledge.
If you aren't looking for a development platform, try out GNUStep to get a basic understanding of Obj-C. You could also look into building a "Hackintosh".
The best way to build iOS applications on a Windows machine is with the Adobe AIR packager for iOS. No, it isn't programming with the iOS SDK - but the current best-selling application in the App Store games category (Mechanarium) was built with it.
