I am helping a student develop her first app and she wants to use it to help Kindergartners with counting from 1 to 100. So basically the app needs to just display 1...2...3..4.. all the way up to 100 so they can practice their counting. Is this something that can be done here in Buzztouch, or does it involve Java coding? Thanks!

It probably depends how you want the output. If it's just to count, I'd probably recommend Javascript. If you wanted to do something manually where they swiped or press a button for the next number then go with a JQ menu or 100 BT screens if you're bored :) Hope that helps.

It can be done 'any way you want'. If you want to use Java, you can. If you want to use objective-c (the language of the iOS) you can. If you want to use HTML5, no problem. Keep in mind Buzztouch is not a platform or a language, but sort of a 'workflow' method that can encompass more than one device platform. Your job would be to decide which target device platform you want to primarily build for (Android or iPhone/iPad) and figure out which is the 'most productive' method for you to implement it. That might be java, or HTML5, or something else. If you're not used to coding, then something easier to grasp, like HTML5, might be in order. If you're not afraid to learn to program, then native Objective-C or Java might be a solution. Which ever way you decide, you can always rely on the forums if you have a question in any of these methods. Here is an example of a clock in HTML5: http://tutorialzine.com/2013/06/digital-clock/ in Android: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2010/10/25/get-started-developing-for-android-with-eclipse/ some iOS Samples: https://github.com/search?l=Objective-C&q=digital+clock&ref=searchresults&type=Repositories Hope this helps!

If you want to keep it real simple, you could use a photo slide show plugin that will let the child swipe through 100 different simple images of the numbers 1 - 100. Not the most efficient way, but possibly the easiest "built in" way. -Chris

A numbers app could be really good if presented properly. You could have a menu with header. Then the children see the header image, with the number, then press a 'done' button below it to show the next number. You could also implant a quiz in there too. Would you be planning for iOS or Android?

I actually think Stobe has the best solution… It might be a little work, finding appropriate images, but if done correctly would be a really nice effort. Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks you all, this is for an Android device and essentially the numbers need to just automatically count from 0-100 in about 60 seconds. This is a required test for kindergartners in the state of Georgia and my student is developing the app so her students can practice before the test. I like the idea of just creating images, seems pretty simple. The only thing with the plugin, can you set a timer for how long the slideshow should last? So, could she load the 100 images into the plugin and then set it for 60 seconds in length?

Sounds like an animated gif would solve that image gallery auto increment issue. However for that much effort (making 100 images then animating), I'd rather just have it count with javascript.

I suppose if you made the number images, use an online gif maker to merge it into a gif file.
