Will the 3D effect work with the Real3D glasses that cinemas are using now? They use passive 3D technology, but the lenses just look tinted as opposed to the red/blue ones.

I'm not sure what Real3D is, but if you're talking about those glases that use different polarisation for left and right (which is common over here in cinemas, these glasses look grey-ish), the no. You need a special screen for that.
Doing that with projectors is actually much easier than in a screen, as far as I know. You just use two projectors with polarization filters.

I suspect they will not work, based on what you said, but here is a picture of what they look like.

u should the paid version is WELL worth it.
Lol have to search for my 3d glasses.... again... Last time I used them, I needed them to look at the Mars pictures from NASA. I had to turn my whole house upside down to find them. In the end I had to drive 100 km to get a pair.
Hope I don't have to go through that hassle again to witness the next big step in science. Tetris in 3D, man this is much more exciting than searching for water at the other end of the universe.
seems like a fun game. always a fan of tetris. i'll check it out.
3D, why? everything is gonna be in 3D.. not like
Hmm nice game
I had tried once, but honstly I don't know how to play it. I wandered if I need a red-blue glasses.
But anyway, thanks!
great idea! kudos!
looks fun, nice work

The diamond has a lot of very good features, but sadly the Dpad makes a lot of games very hard to play. I like games, so what I propose is whenever someone finds a game that either uses the Stylus or has controls that can be setup to work well on the diamond, they post it here.
Microquad
Price $14.95
http://www.viex.org/?page=microquad
"Your mission is to race a quad bike around 24 different tracks and to attempt to move your way through the levels which are Baby Cup, Junior Cup, Pro Cup, Master Cup and Expert Cup. Each level include 4 very detailed and varied tracks and you also get the choice of 6 different quad bikes which have different specialities for Road, Off Road and Grip."
You also pick up items around the track like missiles, speed boosts, oil slicks etc which are a lot of fun.

Controls: Use auto acceleration and the Dpad, or use on-screen buttons, both work really well.
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Price: Free
http://esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
"You'll be put in the middle of a thriving landscape of cities. In order to become the transportation tycoon, you'll need to build trains, planes, ships, and automobiles and send them off to make you rich."
This is open source free project, but you need some files from the original game.
Controls: Use the Stylus mainly and a button for right-click.
Snails Reloaded
Price: $14.95
http://www.pdamill.com/prod_sn.shtml
"Our classic, award-winning, action-strategy game for Windows Mobile devices features incredible gameplay coupled with fantastic graphics, audio, and humor!"
Controls: Stylus.
Please add to this post, in the format I've used, and I'll update the first post with other peoples suggestions and my own as I try out more games.
(in case we get onto a second post)
Scummvm
All the classic lucasart games and some older sierra ones can be played with Scummvm for CE/Arm.
At least 3 adventure games are freeware, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Lure of the Temptress.
I've tried Transport Tycoon Deluxe and it's just impossible to play. The text is too small, it's readable not like on the Trinity, but it's so small you'll have a headache after 5 minutes. Also there's a lot of using the stylus at the very edges of the screen and it appears that the Diamond doesn't like that.
Shame...
Age of empires works well with the Diamond price is about 29 Dollars I think.
Grtzzz

heroes game, costs 19$, but if you order a key via the russian language site, you only have to pay 10$

Got a load of other astraware stuff at home, will update this as i find them.
All three of them run superbly on the Raphael as well.

Tetraedge Syberia 2 works just fine.
Hi, I just installed Snails reloaded, and I can not run it. I can get to menu, but i pick "play button" (I dont remember what is the name of that button) nothung happends. Please, any suggestions?
Please, vote for my idea if you like it on Google Product ideas.
Or if you are an Android developer you can "just make it"

As you know, since last week Youtube makes it easier to upload and view 3D videos. More info:
http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/07/now-in-3d-join-experiment-with-us.html
"3D video/photo shooting app for Android. By using 2 Android devices the app should sync them by Bluetooth, so they can start, stop, pause simultaneously. After shooting the video this app should combine as red/green and share via Youtube/Picasa."
That isn't practical since you would need two devices.
I am sure that soon we will see phones with 2 cameras on the back that would be able to shoot directly in 3D, but until then I can't think of a more practical way for videos. Android should be the best environment for this.
For photos you are right, it is possible to do it with just a single camera.
nice idea, but highliy impracticle. 3D video shooting has been around for decades and it's still just a WOW-factro technology. Even with all the TVs that are going to be released with 3D capabilities, you still need to wear those goofy glasses in order to see things right.
Just because YouTube is catering to 3D video technology does not mean that we will see cellhpones with two cameras on them.
with this out
3d cameras on cell phones shouldn't be too far..

You don't need any kind of "special TV" to watch 3D images. The "goofy" glasses are available and are cheap enough (1.5-15$) to have them near your LCD TV or Monitor.
The world is moving much faster to the 3D technology. A recent example is Ice Age 3.
Back in year 2000, when I installed probably the first complete CarPC in Europe ( http://www.carstereo.com/installs/photo_gallery_album.cfm?home=yes&photoid=18833&galleryid=609 ) I heard very similar opinions that "it is not practical", and etc. Now it is something normal, available and you don't have to DIY.
When the TV came out, people called it "impractical" and a waste of time and that no one would sit on a chair to bother watching it.
When the PC came out, it was also called impractical and that nobody would want to use it.
When the G1 came out, I looked at it and thought to myself "damn that is one ugly phone, no one would ever want to use that." And my friends agreed with me.
Look at where we are now
Name: Meteor Mania
Defend your city against a meteor shower in this slick game which seemlessly blends classic arcade games of old with a modern art and sound direction. Utilize four different types of power ups including a forcefield and scatter rockets to rack up a high score.
Destroy multiple meteors with a single missile to get even more points. With a smooth difficulty curve and a newgame+ system this game is high on replay value and low on downtime many arcade games suffer from as players excel at them.
There's never a dull moment in Meteor Mania!
Changelog:
28/12/2010:
Trial gameplay time has been increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Reticule becomes redder as health depletes.

Update coming next week which increases trial gameplay time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Let me know what you think of the game!
A working download link would be great. Thanks.
The link works for me...
Bought it!
Awesome! What do you think of it? Any ideas for improvements, etc?
My thumbs need a break!!! This game is a lot of fun! Some ideas:
I think having levels/waves that will break the pace a bit would be nice.
Also, maybe a change in the background like perhaps shifting from dusk to dawn to day, etc. would be nice.
Perhaps add some meteor variations like "Asteroids" type meteors that break into smaller ones you need to blow up again
Basically, try add elements that will make the gameplay a bit more varied
I love the attention to detail - the graphics are fantastic. Too often games have super gameplay and crap graphics - your game is great on all counts!
Those aren't actually bad ideas, pity my hands are tied until Microsoft approves the current (minor) update I'm trying to push forward :-\ Been there for quite a while now, I think it's because of the Christmas break they're taking so long with app approvals.
a new patch has been released which ups the trial demo time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and adds a new feature where as your cities health is going down the reticules get redder so you don't have to look at the top left of the screen to see your cities health.
looking great!! downloading it!!
Name: Gesture Calc
Hi,
Would like to mention a new Windows Phone app, Gesture Calc. It is an app I made for the 30 to launch contest last month, but it is also now in the marketplace.
It's a calculator app similar to the one that comes with your phone but with gestures for operations. My thought was that with the touch screens available on smartphones, the standard calculator is kind of boring. So instead of using the buttons, you can trace things like plus,minus,divide, etc. on the bottom of the screen.
The app is completely free, with no trial limits, and does not have any ads. Just looking for any feedback for stuff I can add to the app.
Thanks!

Hmm... What do you mean by that? Do you know people who entertain themselves by calculators??? I know nobody, even my 2 years old daughter (she's prefer Galaxy Tab with colorful games) Calculators are used for calculations, not for entertainment so they can't be "boring".

By "kind of boring" I mean very similar, and without many differences from the layout of calculators from the 60's. The gesture addition is just an experiment to see if people like a feature like that. I don't mean I intend a calculator to be an entertainment app. However, I could add farm animal noises to all the buttons so it is more entertaining though.
Oh, yeah, the farm animal noises - it's what people usually missed from calculators at all
By the way, do you like a gesture feature? Can you calculate more effective or fast with gestures?
that's a good idea to make a "entertainment" calculator

Yeah I actually like using the gestures. Not sure if it is faster though. Haven't tested the speed of doing a bunch of calculations.
Hi all,
I've been working on a simple watch display that gives you a virtual aquarium on the watch. Do you happen to know how I'd go about turning it into a widget? As it is, it launches as a normal app and that's fine but I'd like it to be something like a watch face.

I think it's cool to have the tiny fish swimming around, the neon tetras swim around as a shoal and the angelfish float around fairly realistically. If you tap the screen, they swim away from where you tapped. It wouldn't be hard to add some other functionality like the ability to feed them by tapping the top of the screen or something but the app closes when the screen times out.
Any comments?
Note: I'm not a graphics artist...

No offence, it's nice that you're building something, but this is one awful looking aquarium. Perhaps add some water texture, and use better fish images...

Feel free to contribute some better images if you want or if you know someone else that could, point them here. I just used those ones temporarily while I got it to do something. They were resized (badly) from another project I had to fit the Gear screen.
