A few technical questions from a Beginner

Hello BT! I am still using my free account, and I got a few issues I´d love to get some input from you. 1. When I start my first application, it says version 1.0. Shouldnt´t that be 2.0? 2. I am working on a PC, right now downloading the Eclipse pack. Will the Android simulator also display what I am doing? (As it says to open the iOS simulator...) 3. How can I delete a page I created twice by mistake? 4. If I dont find the plugin I need, and I see the source code is available on the Internet, then should I just create a blank page and insert the code when compiling with Eclipse? 5. Where can I see examples of apps made with the BT software (without any more coding on xCode or Eclipse)? Thanks a lot!!!

Welcome Salamandra - glad to have you with us! Here's some thoughts: 1) Your app's version number should always start off at 1.0. You will increase that number with each new source submission to the app store, which might be because of a new plugin. The "2.0" version you're probably thinking of is the current version for the Buzztouch platform. 2) Yes - the Android simulator is just like the iOS simulator in that both show you what the end product looks like before you actually load it on a device. 3) I assume you mean a "screen" when you say page? Just click on "screens" from you application's control panel, and go to "list" view. From there you can delete a screen. 4) If you know what you're doing, then yes you can do this. But generally you can't just copy and paste source code from the Internet into your project and have it working right away - you'll have to do some modifications to integrate the code into the project. 5) There isn't a running list of Buzztouch apps, since there are so many of them in the wild. You can always click on someone's name in the forums and see if they've posted any apps in their developer profile. You'll have to ask them if they've made modifications from the standard plugins, though.
