Havent been here for a while and I just wanted to check out what has happened the past two years and I'm kinda stunned. There are so many good aps written. Really nice.

If anyone can give me a push in the right direction for coding apps would be great

Thanks for this game

Hello tdid, it is surprising to see someone else here besides me

Application development for the ZEN is pretty dead right now, so I don't recommend getting too into it as there is not much of a community for feedback now. However, if you would still like to learn, I would recommend reading this crash course on lua: http://luatut.com/crash_course.html. It is by no means an in-depth tutorial but it should give you enough information to start 'messing around' with lua. I recommend starting with a simple Hello World program followed up by a 'Push the Button' style game (where you simply press a button and something happens). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Best of Luck!
