Hi all,

What method do people use for renaming their app so that it's not called MonkeyGame? Just wondering what the "best practice" is.

Thank you!

still say this is something we should have a #define for..

Sticking something like

#DEFINE_NAME="MyApp"
#DEFINE_VER="1.2"
#DEFINE_AUTHOR=""

if we had something like this, just slot it into the top of our main code file and then monkey uses that information when building the final target, it would save a lot of bother.

So people just currently take the MonkeyGame app that is produced and rename it manually?


Paul - Taiphoz(Posted 2012) [#4]
think so.

+1 for being able to specify this in configuration file!

Right now one has to post-publish things manually each patch,update,hotfix,revision and also for each target - that is not an algorithm that scales well!

Ideally you only publish as seldom as possible because of this and other post-publish things that needs to be manually done. However that does not help when a critical bug is found, or a new update is required because the Ad provider updates their API that you use.

+1 too, and for all targets!

Tough the app-name is a minor part of it to be honest :)

(if it was possible to just include by default a batch file at the end of compile
processing it would let user doing anything he want with files,
renaming, ziping, zip-aligning and imho everybody would be satisfied...)
:)
Maybe this batch file should have a plateform name, fe
android.bat
flash.bat
iphone.bat
or could be named in config file by a command like :
batch_process_file=
