If you want to help, all you have to do is post all tricks/hints/tips you know about Prison architect.

Will it also include a building calculator of any kind?

//Edit to expand my question:
If all it has are some tips and tricks, are you sure it's worth coding an app for? Why not just post them of the forum or create a webpage for it? An app that only holds tips, to me, is not an app at all. Therefor, I would not download it. And I'm pretty sure many agree.

Its going to contain a lot of useful information, so its going to be like a little handbook:)

A building calculator?

Hooray for all you android users, but I don't think this is going to be a good idea.. Unless of course everyone has an android phone.. Which I don't..

Would make for iPhone too, but the program (Xcode) that you need to use when coding iPhone apps, is sadly only for Mac computers, and i dont own a Mac.

Sooo.... nothing you can't do in .txt, .pdf, .html
Why take the effort to build an app if there's much easier (and for this purpose; more suitable) ways

I understand what you're saying, but the app is going to contain a lot of Info in one place, so when playing you suddenly forget something, then its Way more simple to open up the app and check, than googling.

But yeah, I plan on adding more than just tips and tricks.

For me personally, I'd rather alt+tab and Google anyway, but that may be because my phone is getting rather slow
Don't get me wrong tho, I do support your idea, not trying to get you from doing it. I myself code in PHP mainly, no experience with apk's, but if you need people to test it before release, let me know

Uhm, you could open an ordinary webpage on a smart device too. No need for an application.

I am aware, however i did not ask for those comments, all i ask for is tips and tricks. I already have quite many tips, but the more the better.

I have planned out the application pretty well, making it easier than visiting web pages.

Why not? Is your goal not to create something useful for the community?

Why release a tips & tricks app for a game that's only in alpha? Do you plan to update constantly?

Would you mind sharing your collection with me using Pm?

Messaged you:-)

I'd advise it to make it a HTML 5 app. Its not only platform independent, no one can ban your app and it's future proof.

*sigh*. Why must everything be App-ified... If it was a web page or pdf it'd already be platform independent.
