@cvp ah ok. I am busy at the moment but I think I am going to consider the google map sdk, as I have a clear example of what I am looking for. I’ll update you more later.

See this example.
This is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, this is for google maps.

RE: Suggestions for My App?
@cvp This is helpful, but not exactly what I am looking for. I am going to keep looking at it, as these are only the basic implementations of those mk functions.
Also, this is in javascript isnt it? Does it transfer to pythonista in python?

RE: Suggestions for My App?
@cvp ok, I'm trying to look at it now. Hard to tell what exactly I'm looking for since the documentation doesn't have picture examples.

RE: Suggestions for My App?
see this example
It is a bit difficult to see, but it captures the idea I have. I would like it to be more smooth around the edges, this one is rather blocky (shaped like squares).

Suggestions for My App?
Hi, this post is more so for @cvp as it has been a long while since I have been here on these forums. Nonetheless, any input would be appreciated. As cvp knows he did the lord's work helping me bring my ideas to life with an app that used apple maps to keep track of locations of trash found around cities. I wanted to continue making the app but due to a lack of knowledge and more high school garbage getting in the way, I could not.
Reflecting back on it now, my app was very flawed, and I am not sure I should continue using Pythonista, as the implemented apple maps didn't seem to have all the functionalities I wanted (such as being able to make a detailed UI system on the map and being able to produce a heatmap).
If anybody (especially cvp) knows if it is possible to continue my idea, I would love to know, or should I consider using a different IDE and/or language.

Registering When An Image is Overlapping With A Set Rectangle?
I'm making a minigame for my app and I just wanted to clear up some things before I begin...
I will have two rectangles, each will be on separate sides of the screen, left and right. I will have an image that spawns in at the top center of the screen and slowly falls down. I will use tilt controls in order to make the object in the center move left and right.
In order to register when the center image overlaps with a rectangle, how would I go about doing this? I would prefer if the entire image had to overlap with the rectangle before it was considered to have overlapped it.

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp works great as always. Looks like this should be the final thing I ask of you for now. Until tomorrow or something when I inevitably run into an issue. I just have to decide where to go from here... Most likely I will work on making minigames as it was the next part of my plan. I have a roadmap I am trying to follow so hopefully I can stay on track.

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp Maybe this whole ‘ID’ thing would be for later... I do expect to have an account system because it will open up for customizable accounts (and some money making) so that’s going to be a while down the line I guess.

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp 3rd option is best. I want people to know they can clean it, but when they press on it it will tell them they have to be closer.

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp if you say so. At the very least I’ll put a special thanks to cvp somewhere in the app. One last thing I can think of... You should only be able to remove a pin or press the remove button if you are within 20 meters of it. Also, you should only be able to press the button one time per user (store on file that the user has already pressed the button to clear on the crosshairs) I don’t know how doable the second part is but I believe this is my final task for you. Thanks as always, cvp!

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp works great! Once you manage to get the last step done of clearing the circles, I believe the map will finally be done! If I do follow through with making this an app, would you want payment or something? At the very least credits? I feel guilty having you do so much...
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp yes. Sorry for the inconvenience
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp sorry if this an annoyance but I would prefer if the (3) was above needed. Sorry
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp is it possible to put the word “needed” next to the (3) display? That would be the easiest for the user to understand. If not then just the (3) will be good.
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp yes that looks good.
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp yes. The idea is that once it reaches zero, any pins in the circle (including those added before it reaches zero) will be removed
-
RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp Here is what I mean: (Clear is the same thing as remove)
- Circles are set and user can click on them (as you already have programmed)
- When the popup happens for the crosshair or a normal trash pin, there should be a button titled "Trash is Cleared"
- Specifically for the crosshair, however, it should have in the button a set of parentheses of how many presses are still needed to remove the pin. For an example, originally, the pin will say "Trash is Cleared (3)" but after someone presses it, it will then say "Trash is Cleared (2)"
- For the normal trash pins, it will only take one press to remove them. For the crosshairs, it should take 3 as mentioned above. Simply deleting them from the map and locations.txt file is all that needs to happen.
Hopefully this is understandable. If you need more clarifications just ask. Thanks!

RE: Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
@cvp I know you worked very hard to make these circles appear, but now I need a function to remove them off of the map. The goal here was that after trash was marked, another user would come by (hopefully clean it) then clear the trash marker, as there is no longer trash present. However I want to prevent people from just saying they cleaned it. I would like to make it so that, specifically for the crosshairs, it would take three presses to clear the marker. Once the user presses it once, they can no longer press it, as some variable (set for that specific crosshair) would be set to True, not allowing them to press it again. If they tried to, a message could appear in console saying something along the lines of "You already marked this location as clean."
This may be a lot to take in so by all means ask any questions, I'd be glad to clarify things.
Thanks as always!
