Show HN: My First App (Skill Sketch) is in the App Store

7 points by dottertrotter 14 years ago | 6 comments

After a long fought battle, my friend and I finally have our first app (Skill Sketch) in the app store and we're looking for feedback.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skill-sketch/id498835340?ls=1&mt=8

The app is a simple drawing game that provides you with a series of random lines (0-4) that you then try to turn into art. When you do something that you like, you can save it to your gallery.

Currently we have it listed at 99 cents. Mainly so that we can make back the $99 bucks it cost us to join the Apple Developer Program.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Oh I used to love playing this as a kid!

Since this is your first app, I would love to hear the story of how you built it.

And if you like, please consider sharing it on my new site http://swym.me. Hopefully, I can send some users your way!

Interesting concept indeed! This is kind of like Everything BUTT art in a sense.

Keep Rocking guys, hope to see more on the App Store soon!

Great idea. This is similar to a game I used to play all the time as a kid. What are you using to generate the random squiggles?

Right now the app has around 150 predefined "scribbles" that are randomly sized and placed around the canvas. I'm working on making them randomly rotated as well.
