- App inventor can NOT connect to the Android device when it is on NC state’s Guest WiFi network.
- Location is finicky; this is on AI’s backend code and is not easily rectified in the block editor. Oftentimes, restarting device location services is the most effective solution.
- You can only carry one string or integer across screens, so if you’re doing something where a lot of data moves around between screens, tinyDBs are a good solution. An alternative is to use multiple objects and modify their transparency as needed (this can get quite messy).
- Multiplayer games are possible but quite difficult. It would be very hard to do without a large amount of help from the TAs.
- App Inventor does not have support for multiple touches at once.
- If you’re going to handle multiple, concurrent events, timers are the best solution. Modifying timer intervals can help with monitoring game projectiles, sprite movements, and other time - based events.
