Hey all, I recently posted a game utilizing the 3D capabilities of the G1 to the Marketplace called Flyer.
It's a game where you fly around as a jet and try to destroy enemy jets.
It's currently in a very early build but is up so I can get feedback now, when it's easy to change things.
How to play:
Hold the phone sideways in front of you(in landscape mode)
Tilt left/right to roll
Tilt up/down to pull up or down
Press trackball to fire machinegun
Of Note:
Enemies are currently just green boxes but do behave somewhat intelligently
You can't die yet
Next Release:
Main Menu
Possibly a death sequence
Let me know what you think of it!
Don't listen to the market comment goons, this shows a lot of potential. Keep it up!
yea...the market goons are worthless...come here for the "real" comments.
keep up the good work.
i think more than half the comments i see in the market come from 16 yr old. i like this game
This game shows a lot of potential,the market people who comment are idiots who say first all the time
Is the game good? No, it's pretty much terrible.
Does it have potential? **** yeah.
Graphics for sure, enemy planes, I would make the view in 3rd person, and show a small jet instead of cockpit view. Keep up the good work, it'll get there.
Just got my G1 like 5 hours ago (After a curfuffle with a postman xD) This was one of the first Apps I downloaded to test the accellerometer and it's frickin awesome! Sure way to kill 10 minutes or so, and yeah it has potential. Maybe a Gyro to show your current heading could be added, that way I can tell if i'm upside down or not!
Could you integrate google satellite view into it?
i suspect that would slow it down, but would make it way fun.
either more targets, or more maze like capabilities.
right now it's very flight simulatorish.
God you wanna talk about a little curfluffle with the postman to get it? FedEx was supposed to deliver mine on New Years eve and the delivery man filed that the road was blocked. I called their headquarters, raised hell about it, they checked into it, he changed it to local holiday (meaning a business was closed for delivery) on a residential shipment. They finally made him come back (which was an extra 30 minutes both ways) and deliver it. He refused to even drive all the way down my driveway, he parked halfway down and stood next to the truck until I walked up to get it from him. The lesson of this story, if you're a delivery man and wanna go out and party on new years eve, do your freakin job first or else it'll just cost you more time.
You have done a great job man! Increadible potential. Atleast we can see that 3d is on its way! Keep up the good job. Afterall bding games takes hundreds of people some time so you've a great job!
Hello guys and girls,
I recently went from an htc desire to iphone 4, it was like going back in technology. sure, the screen is awesome and the design is good, but at the end of the day it's like an ipod itouch It's boring, now desire was fun to play with. I never got bored of it. So, if anyone thinking about going from desire to iphone 4 it's not worth it.
Well, Apple sucks, that's a given; but please give a list of the things you don't like about it.
It's nice to have some more fodder for later arguments about WHY Apple sucks...
There are many reasons that i dislike about the iPhone, these are that come to mind. First, the check board in safari is really annoying, like on android i never got any checker boards, while scrolling up faster even when the page was loading. Next, is the row of icons is just plain and too simple... Another is having no adobe flash and no click toggle. I read Manga and the manga readers in app store suck...
I do like the built quality, I hope more android devices are built without getting a plastic feeling.
No matter if it´s 2, 3, 3gs or 4 all are the same sh....t
It's good to hear that you value Flash. So many iPhags want to say that they don't need it...

Well, it's not great build quality with all the broken glass iPhones all over. Have you touched the G2 yet? It's incredible. My TP2 was a great build, but the G2 is a thing of beauty. Only more greatness to come from HTC.
People have made weight such a big deal over the years. Like your phone is going to anchor you when you dive into water. Why is weight such a big deal? What difference does it really make? I would love to have a hardcore metal design rather than cheap light plastic.
android is an open source and that makes it so powerfull thus you can transform it anyway you want..

Put android on your iPhone.
I am sure its been done.
(or just change back)
Who saw it? Thoughts? Was it done well to be a sum of marvel superhero movies? I figured a lot of people may have seen it by now being the end of opening weekend.
WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT
I'm a HUGE Marvel fan and had my Thursday Midnight premiere tickets bought months ago, went and saw it in 3D and I loved it! The 3D could have been better, since it was not shot in 3D the movie was then made into 3D afterwards, a lot of the scenes were not in 3D and the glasses only made the screen darker.
The plot, and characters all were amazing! I thought it was all brought together so well. Natasha Romanoffs opening scene was...awesome.... I'm a fan (My GF isn't ) Captain America really shined more than he did in his own movie I thought, I thought Tony Stark/IM could have had a bit more action than he did, he played more of a support fighting roll, Thor and Bruce Banner, Mark Ruffalo played a really good Bruce, it fit his character really well and they kicked ass.. I liked Hawkeye they introduced him well. I didn't mind that they did not bring in Giant Man/Ant Man and Wasp/Pixie they were original Avengers in the old comics but they did not have a movie of their own and not much of a back story, they aren't that cool anyways IMO.
**MAJOR SPOILERS**
I loved the end scene about Thanos, that will be an awesome movie, he is supposed to be on of the most powerful villians in the universe with the ability to teleport and telekenisis.
If anyone stayed through the ENTIRE credits... the last scene was very fully, no dialogue but everyone got the message. LOL.
10/10
What do you think is in store for future Marvel Movies?
Well I planned to go to the movie but it still wasn't out for another month. Shows how organised I was

Lol. I just made the switch today from the HTC one x. So far I love everything about this phone.

Lol that guy in post 3 is a joke. Another brainwashed Apple fan boy. The only thing he is correct about is that the iPhone is easier to see in the sun. IPhone 5 is only getting a bigger screen because they are losing market share, same goes for turn by turn navigation.
By getting it right I assume he means "waits for someone else to innovate, then copies them and claims to be innovative"

it's just crazy thinking how these apple fan boys brag about their phone compared to android but deep inside they're envious.
Ok ok I don't think 3 post is from Apple washed brained. He is just 'trying' to explain the benefits of the iphone over android, but he fails with every word he said. The apple ecosistem is nearly perfect but if you are not into iphone doesn't worth it so much... They bring you a seamless experience more than features...

Love apple fanboys having their little rages if anything bad is said about iPhone, or their messiah Steve Jobs (who, I'm sure some apple fanboys believe will rise from the dead.)
Not shocking one bit. Most of my coworkers have iphone and whenever they're at my desk, they always play with my phone for minutes on ends and would forget why they're there for. I, on the other hand, could care less about a toy phone that predates 2008.
Got my first "smartphone" in 2010. I had the option of SGS1 vs iPhone 3GS and I went with the iPhone 3GS. Probably one of the worst decision of my life, if not THE worst decision. Told my sister to get the SGS1 when her contract expires in a months time and swapped phones right away.
I'd say that for first time users who are not computer savvy at all (and to some extent a bit lazy) will like the iPhone, everything is there for you and iTunes is pretty much a one stop shop for anything/everything. No tinkering required at all except a few email setup/account syncs. Basically, a boring phone. The only thing you can really "develop" is an app.
Android on the other hand is a pandora's box. The amount of open source developing, customisation, tweaks, themes, roms is just amazing. You can pretty much mix and match different options from ROMS/Themes and have your phone the way you want it.
Unless the next few versions of iPhone have 3D Holographic tech, strippers/lap dance included, unlimited free drinks at any bar in the world, a batmobile and 10% of its shares, it will be inferior to the Android any day.
Muhahahaha
It's funny how you introduced yourself there in the thread. Lol.

So someone's waiting for the iphone 5. More 'advance tech' like expandable memory, bigger-than-3.5 inch screen and removable battery. Lol
And oh, i almost forgot, even funnier Siri.
“Wait for iphone 5,,, the solution for your problem....... Bigger screen, advance tech and nice features..........“

You don't mean advanced tech, like the super advanced SD card so you?
My sister's partner had an iPhone, with a pin, he passed away and no one knows the pin, the only way to make it usable is a factory reset, which will wipe all data, as we all know, including pics, music etc.
Or even the even more advanced tech like a fail safe if you forget your pin, similar to how android allows you to sign into your google account if your pin is entered incorrectly.
They will get a minor hardware upgrade. Bigger screen maybe, just maybe, a quad core processor and definitely a new version of ios. Too bad ios will still stuck, you will still have to enslave yourself to the iTunes store, you still won't be able to pull the battery and insert a fresh spare when it's flat, and you'll have to wait until after android owns you again before you have to pay thru the nose again for another minor hardware update.

Ordered my 32GB S3 from Sprint today so should be getting it by Friday at the latest. I've been dying to have it in my hands after being around so many friends who own an iPhone and being able to flaunt it in their faces. However, with the iPhone 5 just around the corner, I'm a little worried that I won't be able to make them as envious as us Android users have been able to do for quite some time now. We've had bigger screens, turn-by-turn GPS, more powerful phones, etc. but as Samsung's new CEO said the future of smartphones will be primarily about the software on it and it's a lot easier to show off a bigger, beautiful screen to an iSheep than to try and explain to them software advantages.
lol at this thread... nice to be in some educated company for a change instead of putting up with apple fanboy drivel. Isheep LMFAO

For this, I have thanked you. Funniest quote of the day.
I laugh at Apple fanboys tbh. The amount of things I can do with Android without altering it is endless; while with altering the possibilities are endless. As for their iPhone; they need to Jailbreak it to even change slight things.
Apple goes for innovation, and new ideas.. But these "new ideas" are not new, and is always at least one year old by the time they release their phone.

Plus, we have all seen the ios 6 video. The features suck. There is no new ones. Nothing interesting. I used to be a bit brainwashed by apple when I did a bit of development for my touch, but I don't think I'll even buy one of those now. Even all my friends who think apple is the best are seeing my beast sgs and saying "damn why don't I have one of those?"
The tables are turning, sorry apple, were gonna win >. PS: you lose!

This.
I am a computer science student, so I need to spend a lot of time in front of my computer. It is not a secret that my computer most of the time is my tv, and newspaper and mp3 player and so on. What I am trying to say is that I use my computer a lot and I think my eyes are very tired of that. I have dark circles under my eyes for a couple of years now and I can't get rid of them. No under-eye cream treatments work, drinking vitamins doesn't help either. Basically, the fact why I am unable to have a deep conversation with long eye contact with anyone is because all od the time I think how horrible my under-eye's look like.
So, here is the point where I would like to ask you for some information. I guess, most of the people from this forum use their computer a lot, which is perfectly fine. I would like to ask you, do you have any strict rules when using your computer? How do you make sure that you are able to, for example, write code for a long time, and make sure that your eyes are not being tortured? Maybe you have specific routine of exercises that you do every x minutes when using computer? Please, do share that information in this thread.
You can start by not using the computer for everything. Read a real newspaper, listen to songs on your phone or mp3 player and watch a real tv. Games like ingress offer you an incentive to leave the house and take in the fresh air. You should only use your computer for coding and other study/work related stuff.

I would love to watch all movies in cinema, read real newspapers and so on, but since I am a student, money is an issue for me, so I am kind of doomed to use my computer not only for work, but for media purposes too.
Thank you for mentioning ingress, I had no idea that games like these exist. Since I am not a big fan of computer games, maybe this one I will like
Take a dog (probably not because you are an student) or something else that will force you to stand up and walk

I am not entirely device independant. I can't think straight when I don't get the scores from the football matches! I also listen to music on my phone. And also other stuff like g+, chatting, etc. I use my computer just for playing Fifa 13

I think reading stuff on a screen is probably the worst idea. That's why I hate Ebooks. Also you could have better lighting environments. Draw those curtains and let some natural light in.

i use comp regularly... according my rule of min 3 hrs a day max 8 hrs. then watch tv for almost 3 hrs+.. all i got a bit darkness under eye and increased sensitivity to sun light. i cannot keep my eyes wide open in strong sunlight like other people i know can do...just get a properly sleep after using comp you wont have much problem
I use the computer an awful lot. (Photoshop as a job tends to require such.) I also watch most of my films on it. Reading I do from a book, my tablet or my phone. (I prefer a book, but as I read in English and live in Holland... Buying one from a shop takes about a month.) I also game. A lot.
Some background info: Dark circles under the eyes are a gathering of moisture and vat, usually caused by sleep deprivation, smoking, too many energy drinks, stress, vitamin shortage and/or allergic reactions.
Some general tips:
Sleep. That thing you're supossed to do for 6-8 hours a day. No, seriously. Try it.
Every 15-20 minutes, squeeze your eyes closed until you can feel the stress behind them fade.
Get up and do something else for a minute every once in a while. Get a cup of tea, visit the loo, grab a bite, have a smoke, doesn't matter.
Make sure the screen brightness isn't set too high. A full bright white screen can severely exhause your eyes. (and cause migraines.)
Make sure you get enough vitamin K, B6, B12, vitamin C and Iron.
Cold water/ice. All those expensive creams and all, nah. Pack some ice in a towel and put it on your (closed) eyes for about 5 minutes. Don't do this too often or too long, but it works well enough as a refresher.
Alternatively, black tea's teabag. Some old wive's remedy; just make a cuppa and put the bags on the skin below your eyes (ovbiously don't burn yourself...but they do have to be hot) You will look like a bit of a dork doing this.
