I wanted to know how easy it would be to build a comic reader on the iPad. This is the result of an afternoon’s worth of coding. A lot of free stuff was done through the SDK. The screen capturing software makes it look more jerky than it really is.

@Whinestee for a portable device I guess so. I’m happy enough to read a short fiction work like a comic on my desktop or laptop. For anything that requires sustained reading like a novel a portable works best.

@HiredGoonage This is as big as it can get nowadays unless you want to read the actual comic books or by using a computer monitor. Not as many alternatives to this as we would hope just yet.

Text is too small to read on Ipad without having to piss around with some sort of zoom function, which to me is a complete pain in the ass. A bigger screen is needed to comfortably read a comic.

@5N1D3 Duh.. what do you think iPhone and iPad developers use? the Apple software developer kit has a ‘virtual iPad/iPhone’ on screen so you can see how your app will look, work, feel.

I guess it doesn’t detect the frames automaticaly, because if it did, it would be the best comic book app out there

@5N1D3 He uses a VNC software to capture the iPad’s screen output. People, just stop calling everything fake…!

You can see a mouse moving. iPad doesn’t support any form of mouse input from any mouse. I call fake.

That looks awesome man, i’m trying also to create a comic book app for my own comics, but im starting right at the bottom with regards to coding. This has shown me what i should be aiming for :-s
