Since I’m a windows guy, running Ionic apps on Windows Phone was my main motive. So I downloaded the “Ionic Tabs Template” from the Visual Studio Extension Gallery and installed it. Doing so gives me a project template under “Template > Javascript > Ionic Tabs App”. So I created a new project with the template. Everything looked fine but when I ran the app I was facing a few obvious issues, which I found out later searching online that many are experiencing the same. Therefore, in this post I’m going to share with you how I got over these issues.

0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'angular' is undefined

Right out of the bat, while I was running the project for Windows Phone, I got the "0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'angular' is undefined" error. Then I quickly found that there is something wrong with the Ionic JavaScript files. Then I searched for the following to get the full list of dependencies along with the Ionic bundle, to debug the current setup: http://code.ionicframework.com/

I downloaded these files separately and moved them into their respective folders in the solution.

Ionic CSS File

• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/css/ionic.min.css

Ionic JS Bundle

• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/js/ionic.bundle.min.js (includes both ionic and angular libraries)

Ionic Icon Files (to be put under 'fonts' folder)

• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/fonts/ionicons.eot
• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/fonts/ionicons.svg
• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/fonts/ionicons.ttf
• http://code.ionicframework.com/1.1.0/fonts/ionicons.woff

While creating a new folder named 'fonts' do not use any other literals except 'fonts' because if you open the ionic.min.css file for example you will find that the icon files are referenced in the following way: font-family:Ionicons;src:url(../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=2.0.1);

It means the icons files can be found in a folder called fonts one step up from the current file. So far so good. Now my solution looked like this:

And after updating the references the <head> section of index.html looked like this. 

Wait, there is one more catch.

0x800c001c - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to add dynamic content

If you have made it so far, running the project now will give you a new error like – “0x800c001c - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to add dynamic content”. It is just a security blocker that Windows Runtime gives you if you dynamically try to inject content into your HTML. It is even true if you use a 3rd party library files in your WinJS app. More about WinJS in another post. So, Microsoft Open Technologies. opened up a git repo to help developers overcoming this issue. I’ve download winstore-jscompat.js file to counter the issue at hand. I moved it in my “js > lib” folder and referenced it at the very top of all js files references. Solution and the <head> section now look like this:

Now running the project, you will get the Ionic Tab Starter Template as you go to the app.

Voila! You're up and running on Windows Phone. I hope this post helps you.

Step 1: Download Publish settings of your Azure account, by visiting this.

Step 2: Visit the CouchDB on Ubuntu VM at VM Depot here.

Step 3: Click on Create Virtual Machine, and if it asks you to login, do so using your Microsoft Account associated with Azure. Provide with basic information and also keep the user and password handy.

Step 4: It will then ask you to drag and drop the Publish settings file that you have downloaded in Step 1. Do that. It will take nearly 30 minutes to complete configuring the VM to be used.

Securing CouchDB

By default, CouchDB is completely open and exposed to http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/ and even better it’s control panel is exposed at http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/_utils/fauxton/ and http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/_utils/. Anyone can go ahead and delete all databases without asking for any credential whatsoever.

Go to http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/_utils/fauxton/#createAdmin and create an admin immediately, and of course store the user/password pair.

Now that you have secured the basic administration privileges of CouchDB, yet your databases are still exposed. For example: in order to create a new database, you can always go to Databases tab and click Add New Database. Really anyone can go ahead and check out the rows without needing to login at all.

General principle of CouchDB is that databases are public unless you specify an user and its permission level to the database. Here’s how you can do it. For this part, I am going to switch to the old UI of CouchDB which can be accessed via: http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/_utils/ and go to _users table by navigating to http://your-dns-name-here.cloudapp.net:5984/_utils/database.html?_users, so that you may click on “New Document.” Complete a document like so and “Save Document” it:

Do not worry about your password – it won’t be saved in clear text. Once you have saved, you will be able to see the following screen which indicates that your password was encrypted before it was saved – voila! You’ve a secure database now:

Now open your database and click “Security…” which will bring up the following screen. Go ahead and input the newly created username so that this user can get access to that database:

Accessing the Linux VM

Remember, at the beginning you have completed a pair of user/password for your Linux VM which we haven’t used yet. We can connect to the VM using a terminal environment and for that I use PuTTY. It’s a nice little tool and it gets the job done. Put your DNS name there and Open:

It will then launch a terminal window where you can put that user/password pair and logon to your Linux VM:

Hope this post helps you to setup your own CouchDB instance on Azure.

World Citizenship:

• 1st: Vesper (IUT)
• 2nd: DISHARI (BUET)
• 3rd: Kryptonite (NSU)

Games:

• 1st: Karigor (AUST: 2014 Games winner as well)
• 2nd: Team: Battery Low (IUT)
• 3rd: Crimson Rose Studios (BRACU, 2014 Games 3rd position)

We didn’t receive any qualified Innovation entries this year which seems to be a challenge in Bangladesh. Contestants seem to be more comfortable with the well-defined World Citizenship problems and creative Games where sky’s the limit to them.

Judges’ Comments

We have selected a handful of projects for open judges’ comments.

Arcane

Their project is called qSmoke which aims to show impact and effects of smoking on your personal life. It takes input of your daily smoking habits and other personal information, and shows Health conditions, Effects on people and environment, as well opportunities missed due to the cost of smoking, for example, you could buy a XBOX, or a Surface, etc.

Judges’ feedback: The data this app presents should have been backed with authentic reference data sources. The graphical imagery of health effects were set as static, and there’s also no backing parameters which drives the rendering of the affected body organs which doesn’t make it dynamic. This app also needs to go social, since smoking is said to be contagious, so social influence is important factor. In addition, the game shown later on wasn’t clear enough what it does and how it helps to quit smoking. Find out a more creative way to address the issue, since smoking is really a big problem in the society.

DISHARI

A low-cost Braille printer.

Judges’ feedback: The idea and the cost perspective are good. It’s an innovative project, and there are more than several ways that could contribute in speeding up the printing process. It’s not clear if they had explored those options or not. Presentation of the project is far away from good. They may also want to add a few more interesting facts to the presentation for example, visually impaired people working in tough environments or even coding, and the productivity benefit the user of the printer gets out of the project. They also wondered whether the packaging/chassis could be much improved by using 3D printers which are already available in Bangladesh. Otherwise, it’s not a presentable project in the finals round in its current state. There should also be a comparison drawn in the case of speed of printing of each letter against other similar printers in the market/innovated. PDF printing might be far fetched, but a phone app could be developed for simple text printing. In addition, the printer needs to be portable/mobile backed with Bluetooth/WiFi (might be costlier) capability. The cost comparison/perspective should also be elaborated in the presentation which is currently available only on the documentation.

Freedom Coder 2

This project compares the table of contents of a flash drive and tells if there was any change, and also it can lock USB ports. The project was submitted to both Innovation and World Citizenship categories, but judges considered it for only World Citizenship, since there was a potential usage in forensic of Government office investigations.

Judges’ feedback: The idea wasn’t innovative at all, and there are tons of such tools freely available on the internet along with source code and articles are widely available to do exactly this. It requires email/password to login, which particularly in this solution, makes it unclear where such sensitive data is stored and what was done to prevent potential exploits in certain cases. Because it was pitched for using in forensic investigation, such critical matters should be taken into consideration.

Hunter28

They built a hex-copter which might have potential use for fire-fighting, heavy ariel lift, etc.

Judges’ feedback: It seems the project has demanded hard work, although a lot of infrastructure and heavy-lifting had been laid out by Multiwii. With 3-minute flight, whether fire-fighting or heavy ariel lifting are at all possible is a big question here since, there was no roadmap for significant performance improvement was shown. There was no comparison of what’s there in the market now and how this project is different from theirs.

Kryptonite

A crowd-sourced traffic data feeder/mapper.

Judges’ feedback: The name of the project must be changed since in reality its not a vehicle trackers, however this app is a necessity in this country. The real challenge would be to get people use it, and there should be a proper model/plan how it can be achieved, because crowd sourcing is not easy. Can there be any other cleverer way to obtain this traffic data instead of or along with crowd sourcing? That also demonstrates the lack of proper business model in this submission. The wave of messages/burst that are being triggered need to be categorized. In the same burst traffic updates and cry for emergency help should not be there. And also, can a user look at the state of a different route than the neighborhood s/he is in? There was also no indication as to how data mining could be used to find patterns and suggest users to avoid certain routes for a specific date/time/season/location/weekdays/week-ends and also custom time-frame. Some other judges also thought the focus is too vague/broad. It could be sales-force tracker/only traffic tracker, etc. One core value should be there, and there could be add-ons to it. Presentation could be improved a lot.

Vesper

A desktop software that allows physically disabled people to operate computer with very high accuracy using eye & head tracking and voice commands.

Judges’ feedback: The project had been attempted numerous times in Imagine Cup in last 5 years in Bangladesh, but this project stands out with excellent quality of presentation, and a high-performing solution than anybody else’s previous attempts. Voice commands have several issues which need to be fixed before the next round. Our tests say that the program works with head tracking alone, as we haven’t seen it tracking eyes at all. The project has only one narrow focus which falls under positive side. Processor and memory usage were lower than previous years’ attempts. Deactivation of a service via voice command was nearly inactive. Mouse movement needs work. The phone client was hardcoded, so we couldn’t run it within short period of judgment time, which was unpleasant.

Code Benders

A Batman vs. Robin football game

Judges’ feedback: This is a perfect game for mobile devices but it was made for desktop. It’s not clear how to play the game in multiplayer mode. The presentation lacked a lot in terms of sustainability aspect of the project.

Crimson Rose Studios

An RPG Adventure game.

Judges’ feedback: Pleasant and detailed graphics, 90’s retro theme could be adopted/explored but overall the ambient is great, especially storm and lightening. Deployment of the vegetation looks great, but it was used little more than expected, and also other settings could be introduced, for example: desert. However, because a lot of effort was spent on detailing, there were important pieces missing in the game, such as splash screen, proper menu navigation system, etc. which could be done in short period of time. Instead of 5 detailed levels, if it was a complete game with 2 interactive levels, the future of this project could be different. A little more obstacles and enemies and the player’s action/interaction against them would greatly add value to the fun aspect of it. It was difficult to relate the game play with the story told. Presentation could be a more improved.

Freedom Coder

A Shooting, survival and space game.

Judges’ feedback: This is a simple game which should be targeted for mobile devices. Because this is an infinitely scrolling game, more levels would be preferred as well as scoring. A proper scoring least but not limited to stored in the cloud and socially/globally ranked standing list would be a good addition.

Karigor

A 3D side-scroller puzzle game.

Judges’ feedback: This game must go to the next stage of the competition – this is THE game, but they have to put a serious fight to go to the world finals. It has incredible graphics, fluid animation, transition, detailed and long levels, picked up on latest trends, and clever camera movement. It looks professional and complete. However, there’re a few scopes of improvement. The character might die in cruel ways which doesn’t go with the overall theme and approach of the game, and also the main character needs redesign as she looks like a zombie child. Gamers may want the child to be cute and adorable and feel compassion towards her regardless if the intention was to make her look sad. The was no checkpoint, so if the gamer makes any mistake there’s no way to go back.

Sputnik

A 2D Cut the Rope clone in a different theme.

Judges’ feedback: Aesthetic aspects should be improved least but not limited to graphics and sound, and the presentation needs love. Overall fun and addictive. Scoring system should be in place and should be released to the store.

Team Battery Low

A 2D Cut the Rope clone in a different theme.

Judges’ feedback: It was a challenge to decide the winner in Games competition between this team and Karigor, but in the end Team Battery Low managed to secure 2nd position. It’s a complete game! Graphics, animation, game play and audio are perfect. Financial aspects of the project need to take less time in the presentation, because the team is not pitching to an investor right at this moment. There could be a smooth transition towards hopping on to a planet, especially when the hero travels from another planet. Zoom out functionality should work as the gamer expects. There should also be more things to do, more puzzles to solve or more obstacles to overcome once he lands on a planet. Fun and addictive!

untitled.exe

A multiplayer maze game.

Judges’ feedback: Fun is the aspect in Imagine Cup Games competition with the highest marks, but this game failed to address it, although it’s near publishable to the Store. The web project wasn’t submitted, so it’s not clear how the data is stored and what was done to prevent congestion and implemented load balancing ability in multiplayer mode. Somehow the game wasn’t felt like playing it again, regardless of the completeness in all other aspects of it. Game play wasn’t intuitive and easy to understand for the mass gamers.

Conclusion

We have thoroughly enjoyed the competition. Good luck to the 1st position winners of World Citizenship and Games categories for the next round which is Online Semi-finals.
