− | ==Notes for Homebrew Developers==
| |
− | | |
− | ===How icons for HBB are selected===
| |
− | If there is no icon.png file in a homebrew application then an icon is included if one can be found.
| |
− | | |
− | If there is no name on the icon and if the picture doesn't represent very clearly what the application does then it is replaced with an icon that has a name.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Homebrew Application folder naming===
| |
− | I will stick to the folder names used when you extract each homebrew application. Folders with spaces will be replaced with underscores. If your files don't come in a folder, then a folder name will be created. If your homebrew application used a folder name before HBB and you've updated your application, the user will notice that there is an update to your application.
| |
− | | |
− | An example is MAsteroids. The game was developed before HBB. Lets say that the game gets updated. Since they are using a folder name, I can simple place the new boot.dol/elf on the server, change the file size and when the user loads HBB it will notice that they have an existing install of MAsteroids and then the user can update to the latest version.
| |
− | | |
− | ===To make my life easier...===
| |
− | * Include an icon.png and meta.xml file with your homebrew application.
| |
− | * Try to follow the [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel#Adding_Text meta.xml] standard and test your meta.xml file in HBC.
| |
− | * Include a date and version number with your homebrew release, otherwise I will use the timestamp from the boot.dol/elf file and name it v0.1.
| |
− | * Put your homebrew application files into a folder and then zip up that folder. Try to keep using that folder name for the homebrew applications life.
