[QUOTE="koesherbacon, post: 5370577, member: 78297"] Hi everyone, My wife just got me a book for developing apps and I could use a little help. I can make the standard "Hello World!" app, but the idea I have is a lot more complex than pushing a button and having some text appear! Here's the general idea. I'd like to make a simple application that players can use when playing 4th Edition DND. I know there are already apps out there, but I think some of them are more complex than need be and seem to go overboard. They try to keep track of everything your character can do. For instance, they keep track of your HP, conditions, encounter powers, daily powers, what magic items you have, etc. They seem to want to eliminate the use of character sheets. This app, on the other hand, would just track your character's current hit points as well as any important negative conditions (aka status effects) currently effecting your character. That way, it would be used on conjunction to your character sheet. I've made some very rudimentary images of what I have in mind.

Also, if your current HP dropped below 1/2 your max, it would turn red to indicate you're bloodied. If at all possible, I think it would be rad if the Helpless, Unconscious and Dying conditions were checked off automatically if your character's HP dropped below 0. Anyone up to helping me get this app started? Like I said, I'm very new to app development; but I'm anxious to learn! Thanks a ton, I look forward hearing back from some of you! [/QUOTE]
