I've created a library to help with GPS enabled applications. Available here:

http://www.esenthel.com/?id=store&item=154

Features:

• Easily import and draw a tiled map.
• Link location to map position (moves map when you walk)
• 'Unlock' function to show off your app when you're not on the right location
• Scale map and all overlays (zoom by pinch or mouse wheel)
• Convert between map and GPS positions, calculate distances
• Add map overlays (circles, clickable icons, shapes and routes)
• Devtool to help you check gps locations
• Import KML files from mymaps.google.com
  

Cheers!

I'd like to draw your attention to an item i submitted to the EE Store: Mobile Gui.

Esenthel's Gui system is great for creating windows, but I needed something to create typical Mobile Gui Screens more easily. So I've created a library with a few classes. It won't match everyone's needs, but it covers the basic config screens mostly used in mobile apps.

MGui: Global object which replaces Gui. It manages all mScreen objects and redraws them if needed.
mScreen: a class which represents a screen. UI items can be added to the screen. A fixed header and back button are also supported. Internally this is a fullscreen region. Child objects are layed out automattically in the order they were added, no need to draw rectangles.
mText: A gui text class. Supports textstyles and margins. The needed height is calculated by the library and updated on rotation. Can be added to mScreen.
mButtonArea: Class which can contain one or more buttons. Can be added to mScreen.
mImage: Class to add an image to mScreen. Size is determined by margins.
mLabel: Adds a label (and a standard Esenthel Gui object next to it) to the screen.

These classes are meant for simple gui screen where you have all items one below the other. Margins aside, this means the width is always the width of the screen.

All widths & heights are a percentage of the screen width/height, which is easier to define a decent screen for all screen sizes.

Anyway, the included demo application should give you enough info to get you started. Oh, and of course the library is free

How to use it:
1) Create an image with evenly spaced letters on a transparent background, and import it into your project. It requires 1 or more of the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, 0-9(numbers), non-alphnumeric symbols(!@#? etc). This is the hard part.

2) In code, create a configuration, feeding the UIDs of the letters to the configuration, as well as a unique name to identify it by, eg. "Player name" or "damage text" or whatever. You can have...many configurations. The configuration setups are quite easy, and can be all done in your game's Init() function.

3) Create the image.
ImagePtr ImgTextControl.CreateImage( ConfigurationName, Text )
It returns the ImagePtr, so you can use it wherever an image might be used: material->base_0 = ImageTextReference.CreateImage( "damage text", "CRITICAL! 84,482,357" );

4) The EE cache will take care of freeing the image when there are no longer any ImagePtrs pointing to it.

I created IMGText as a singleton because it makes use of a list of configurations, and multiple instances would probably confuse things. This also means that it's ready to start making configurations without worrying about creating and passing instances/pointers/references/etc etc etc

IMGText comes with a couple example applications showing how it could be used in a practical situation. I'm pretty sure I commented it pretty decently, and it's only $1.50 in the store.

I saw there were a few users that were having issues with dynamically creating images or rendering D.text to a texture. This system provides a fully viable alternative.

Because Material uses ImagePtr as the texture, this opens the possibility for bumpmapped text/icons, reflective text, glowing letters, etc.

I'm looking forward to someone who is not incompetent with art trying this out. I'm like a kid with fingerpaint when it comes to photochop, so I use Paint.net, which doesn't yield the highest quality results, so I got som artefacting and color bleeding with my test images.

Edit before submitting: Don't you just hate finding a typo in code right before submission? Version 2.0 before the initial release.
Esenthel, do I have to hit publish then wait for inspection/approval every time I update the item in the store?]]>

I've added a project to the store that allows you to add events and triggers to a world. I've used it in my own project ( http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...p?tid=7100 ), and I'm now making it available for everyone.

What can it do?
You can simply place interaction points in the level, such as: Triggers, buttons or items.
These things can then trigger a whole bunch of events, like: drawing text, particles, lights, shaking the camera, opening/closing/(un)locking doors, toggle objects, playing sounds and teleporting objects (Moving platforms in next release too).

Here is the store link: http://www.esenthel.com/?id=store&item=50

I still plan to update this project with better triggers and more events. Make sure to post remarks and suggestions that you would like to see implemented. ]]>

-provide detailed description of what you're offering:
-specify number of vertexes/tris/quads, what textures are included (color/normal/bump/etc.) and their resolutions
-specify duration of any audio files
-for 3d models it is recommended (but not required) to make preview image with wireframe mode to clearly see the mesh geometry
