Hi, I am new here but I require a little assistance with Xcode.
To start off with, I am fairly experienced with computers (and mac's of course), in terms of coding knowledge I know HTML and CSS and some PHP. Although that is mainly all I know coding wise at the moment.
I have been wanting to start software development for a while, but really I had no ideas of any applications I could create with any use to me. Although now I have started getting into technical theatre as a sound/light technician for a local theatre.
Because of this, I thought about creating a simple application where I have a script to follow through (on screen) and I can also add everything like stage directions, singing, etc. But also in the top right I will also have an audio player. At the moment the theatre uses an iPod touch to change songs, which even though this works pretty well the other day I did manage to miss a cue for a song as well as putting the wrong piece of audio on at one point, thankfully during rehearsals.
So the idea I have is for me to be able to pre-set a specific audio track when I get to certain stages of the script, and then for it to be able to change automatically or during just the dialog, show nothing.
I am obviously new to programming in terms of software, and also Xcode. I was thinking a document system might be suitable so I can just load a script file and it's there rather than using a database.
I have created the basic design in the interface area of Xcode 4 although I am not sure where to go from there, I am also not having much luck when I try to run it because the window I want doesn't appear on screen.
If anybody has a good knowledge of this, if you could point me in the right direction that would be great thanks!
Thank you in advance, Allan Wagner.
