Pitfalls shit:

The first thing that happened was that blocked us from facebook user who was the sole owner (owner) of the application (the tecnoloco), thus we could not change the cover or the side of facebook parameters (of the application if we could update but not the administration).

We sent a few emails to facebook support, and we basically answered that you can not create accounts if they are not real individuals, or entities can not be registered, if you want to register an entity there is a way by payment, and clearly this is in the terms and conditions (...). then what you did was kindly pass power to one of us and let the user blocked "the tecnoloco" (sniff, we miss you!)

The second thing that happened to the days of this, was that Dattatec (our initial hosting provider) block abuse service request! (Being impartial performed well), or climbed so we changed plan or provider, the problem was that the site was low and the time ran. For a cost issue decided hosted on dreamhost , (thanks Teddy !) we found that provides economic and what we needed.

And the third was waiting for the server change and the spread of the DNS, took almost 10 days since the blockade to get back up.

Obviously in that time period, we lost people, but hey, that these things happen is what we wanted, and gives us the pattern that is growing, therefore we gain experience for future times, and issues to be addressed in our upcoming projects .

crecer profesionalmente y de una puta*BIP* vez meternos en el mundo del emprendedor! On the other hand both Nacho and I are returning to their lives studying and doing other projects, this is much less time you have for improvement, but we will not dangle, we will continue to improve everything we can, we firmly believe which is a project that will give us the ability to conquer the world to grow professionally and a whore * BIP * time to get into the world of entrepreneurship! :)

We're really happy with the fruits, again thanks to the Family (Sofy, Sheila, and light for me, and nacho-side to "gayega," and their parents) and the many friends who supported us in this project.

THANK YOU!

Features

Trucacho is the trick play, with Spanish cards, no flowers, online play online.
You can compete at 2.4 and 6. A 15 points. With spicy funny phrases to give the matter. You can reflect your status with comments, play with your friends or anyone who is connected to Facebook.
Besides your individual score sums for the world ranking based on your game and your strategy wins. Beat the best!.

Why did the trick?

Because it is a game our good, public knowledge, because it's fun, complicated and far-fetched to schedule and we like challenges. The trick is entertainment par excellence that is played when you hit the road, picnic, camp or holiday. As we venture into the innovative social networks, it seems a good start a card game popular, dynamic, deceptive and intriguing.

Why Facebook?

Our idea is to make applications for social networks in general. Today we chose Facebook for several reasons, including because it is the fastest growing and most popular because it provides an API for developers to include applications easily in the context of the site. He has also had a great insight to the public in Argentina, Chile, and Latin America in general, since January 2008.

trucacho_instalar I want to start playing right away!

It's easy, first you have to be logged into your account to Facebook , then go to the direction of our application . You give permission and once you enter the Home, you click "Play." Choose a table from the available or create your own table and started playing.
.

I play with my friends!

trucacho_amigos Since the option that says "Invite" you can pass the application of trick your friends on Facebook and join them to play catch.
Attention, Facebook has a limitation of up to 15 invitations a day to prevent spam. So if you want to invite more than 15 friends, you have to do on different days.

What if I have Facebook?

Very soon we will make not only Facebook can play, but it can also play from other networks, and even without being registered to any social network.

Do not know how to play the trick!, How I can learn?

From Trucacho help section you can access the regulations of the Truco. We recommend you practice with someone who knows the best way to learn is to play and play!
