Lately I have been working on a handy application for every poker player. The app is called Texas Hold'Em Poker Odds en does exactly what the name suggests, it calculates your winning odds on the poker table . The app is specifically designed for Windows Phone and features some very fast algorithms to estimate your odds. I hope you guys like it, it will hit the Market Place soon and will be free with a little advertisment. Possibly an adfree version for a small fee will come if there is demand. I am open to any suggestions, I have also been thinking about the possibility of making the free version completely ad free after an x amount of uses instead of a paid version.
Let me know what you guys think. The xap is attached to this post so everybody with a developer unlocked handset can try it out already.

Add ability to scan & recognize flop/player's cards, to avoid a manual input (it's a tricky but not a rocket science 'cause of chance to use a predefined patterns). Marvin, check that stuff http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/238114/Realtime-Webcam-Sudoku-Solver , it's a really cool (and I already have ported some important parts to WP7).
However (truly) the app is useless (doesn't matter you play with friends or in casino) - you'll be blamed/shamed/banned in seconds by using this app in a real game
If you want to make a poker tool, how about a bankroll management app. Tournament and cash games, add some stats and give it the ability to back up to SkyDrive.

Ah yeah thats possible but it would be odd to use in real life right. Although I have already madr a Bradley filter which will make image recognition much more easy, detecting cards is still quite tricky. But I have seen an article about it, using a photo edit library.
Yeah thats true, but you can also use it to train yourself to gain more insight in probabilities or use it afterwards to calculate what the odds were of you winning/losing. Or you can have a friend with you in the casino who will look the odds up and signal it to you
Btw I have done that sudoku recognition, but the OCRing is a pain in the ass as Sudokus in news papers have a lot of different fonts and those techniques did not work on all fonts (we had a similar approach). However it might be working like they did it here I have not read the code, just the article. Also I have a very fast Sudoku solver which I can maybe dig up if you need it. Its already in C#.

That would be cool yes, but than for a different app I guess. As this app just focusses on the computation of the odds. A real app to track your win and losses on several tournaments will involve a whole different set up. Non the less certainly a cool idea
It could be part of a complete poker app with different tools. Odds calculator, bankroll management, casino locator with reviews, etc.

This is indeed the most highly sought after and sophisticated programmer in all of history.
Is this a joke? I don't get it at all.
At least my phone works un-like iFonz
I wasn't saying anything negative. I really truly didn't understand your post. Are you saying that you are going to be introducing a whole bunch of new apps? if so, i am happy about that. But I am not sure if it is joke due to the image, which looked like a commodore 64, this is why i asked if joke
So what is this for?
I think you will come and teach us how to design in photoshop? coreldraw?
or maybe the designers Topic in off topic?... what is this for!!!! please!!!!! jajajaj lol sorry about that.
Okay this is my attempt at explaining everything at once, You see there is a problem, there is wizard who controls the world day & night and he has nothing better to do than to get developers to develop new software and everyday he switches them up like gloves. He's got a block on the skyways, the metro system, atm machines. Even your phone & international communications satellites. As you may beginning to understand, that this smart-chip is controlling everything from newscasts to the ethanol boom. Nobody is anybody and the cellphone has global control. I'm merely the wizard behind the magic, why? Because I was the first to put pen to paper. Then I went to mighty mount ararat and Found Two tablet PCs but when I got down and noticed everyone was using mac to edit "Artistic Nude" photos of their wives and daughter I decended upon them with a grave vengence. And only those that are traveling in my Arc will ever be saved.
In conclusion this phone does much more than control my schedule, it controls the world. It will change history.

Basically, what I got from that is you're going to come out with new programs for your phone which will soon allow you to dominate the world because you're a magical programmer?

AAHHH that was good
Oh hey check this out.

look at what I hacked on this website it looks sick on Skyfire
Hey everyone I have just released my second game to the windows phone marketplace.
It is a blockworld RPG game (like infinminer and minecraft) where you can move around an infinite world and build anything from castles to cameras and trapdoors.
It has many unique features such as its dynamic book system and scripting console as well as many other things like cameras, trapdoors, paintings, complex crafting and much more.
It also gets updated every single week with new features based on what the community wants.
Best of all it is free to play!
Please give it a try and let me know what you think I could add.

Glad you like it
Purchased the paid version, but I do prefer Survivalcraft. I must say that I'm impressed you've gotten the game to run so smoothly on first gen hardware, and you've created a much nicer looking UI.
One huge annoyance: Why do blocks "sustain" damage? It's pretty lame to walk around with half-broken blocks everywhere, and I feel the need to mine and replace any blocks I accidentally touch.

Actually this was a design choice and quite hard to impliment right.
First of all it is a major difference between our game and others, but the main reason that we did it was to pave a way for the future where enemys and magic can damage multiple blocks at a time and bit by bit.
In other blockworld games enemys bust destroy 1+ blocks per hit because blocks have no damage system. In CraftWorld this is different, we can have creatures and magic and explosives actually damage multiple blocks with partial damages which can make for very interesting things.
You can always craft a rake and heal the damaged blocks
Let me know if you have any other feedback.
game looks very promising, will try this out as soon as i get time.
Hi there,
I hope you don't mind but here are some comments on your game, don't let them take away from the fact that it's think its pretty great.
Firstly the controls aren't very fluid, that would be a nice thing to see. It seems you only have 4 modes of direction when looking around while moving instead of everywhere.
Secondly it would be nice to have the grass a darker colour.
Thanks for the app, I got the paid version which I think/hope was a donation to you.
Aaron
We are putting out new versions every week, improved controls and many other things are coming soon.
We have some major new features in the next few weeks, also planned in the future is the ability to let you make and share texture packs so you guys can have different looking worlds etc...
So, I'm new to this kind of game and I have to say that I'm at a complete loss on one thing...
To make a workbench, I need 4x wood in 2x2 crafting. So, I get 4 block of wood and it shows on my tool belt as wood x4, right? I can open up 2x2 crafting and drag/drop that item in and the only results I get are 8x wood planks... no option for workbench. But... if I get a block of wood, move it out of my tool belt, get another block and move it out as before, etc... to the tune of having 4 individual slots filled with wood blocks of at least 1 qty, I can then make the workbench.
This seems remarkably counter productive. Am I missing a somewhat less than obvious thing here?
OK, after typing this up, I decided to just goof around with the possibility of touch options. I figured out that if I long press the group I can tap with my other finger as many times as the qty I want to drag/drop. I cannot find this in the blue book and it seems a rather important little bit of info.
I have added this into the (blue) survial book for the next patch, thanks for letting me know.
Have you any other ideas or anything else you want to ask about?
Hello XDA!
I'm a longtime reader and I would like your opinions my new game Monster's Pinball for Windows Phone 7.
It has two tables and is based on one of my favorite handheld pinball games from back when I was a kid and its just as challenging (can anyone guess what game?)
If you like the game please leave a comment and rating in the marketplace!
Someone left a comment saying the flippers had no power. Is this true for everyone? If so, what device are you using?
Thanks!
Here is the description from the Marketplace:
Monster's Pinball pays tribute to some challenging cult classic portable pinball games.
Can you confront and defeat over 50 monsters in and around a creepy old mansion? There are over 100 items to unlock!
Run the right loop 3 times to enable a confrontation with a monster, then run the left loop 3 times to enable battle mode. Defeat the monster to fully unlock it.
Different monsters are in different locations! Hit one of 2 travel buttons 3 times to travel within the games 18 locations.
While this may be an homage to classic games, Monster's Pinball is full of modern gaming conventions such as:
xp / leveling system
special challenges
powerups / perks
online scoreboards
Supports fast app switching and you can save and resume games! See you on the scoreboards!
Any and all suggestions are welcome, just email me at [email protected]!

Tried it out. Great game. I think the review the other poster gave (i'm the 2nd review on their now) was because he is used to those fast paced electronic pinball games. Not ones based on the classic real pinballs with metal heavy balls. I would however suggest adding maybe tilt to it and penalty for tilting to much
Keep up the good work.
Oh btw i was playing it on an HTC Titan.
UK?
Hi
Why is the free version not available in the UK?
Thanks

There is tilt and it can only be used every 5 seconds. Just tilt the phone in the direction you want the ball to go and give the phone a hard jolt. There is a visual effect so you know it worked. Thanks for trying the game!

That's because the microsoft ad control doesn't really work anywhere besides the US. I've waited a long time for them to expand but now I'm thinking about using admob and adduplex in the future. Try the trial of the paid version and buy if you like it; I kept the price very low compared to the xbox live games.
Thanks for the question though, it really reinforces the fact that I need to make my games free for everyone.

Other Info
Byte Code Canada is really me, just a 16 year old from Toronto, Ontario. I will tell you what I learned to make this game.
Well, this is a list of the books I read:
C# 4.0 - The Complete Reference - 1000 pages 1st one, I have experiences in other languages, if you do go ahead and get this one.
O'Rielly XNA 4.0 - 500 pages I just read the 2D Sections and WP7 Section.
Professional Windows Phone 7 Game Development - 500 pages I read a little, learned how to structure everything. I decided to make my own Game Structure(The Foundation, would be another way to call it).
For Silverlight, I didn't really do much on it, but it's where I started from. I made a Black Jack game, while learning C#.
App Hub - silverlight for windows phone
That link is a great tutorial series on the basics of Silverlight. I am sure that there are books about it.
If you are starting to learn C# without any programming experience: Beginning Visual C# 2010, 1st Edition - Is a great beginner book.
Also, just learning the language is not even 10% of the programming. I recommend getting an Algorithm Book such as: How to Think About Algorithms - A great book, just starting it, has lots of nice math and such. But Algorithms are for after you know C#.
Also, never give up Programming is the future.
I recommend downloading the PDFs, and if you really like the book, just buy it. That's what I do when I finish a good programming book

Wow man, good job if you really are 16.. I've been a life long fan of space shooter type games and this one looks really good, I'll try this out and let you know if I find anything weird.
On a related note, I've been trying to program games like this myself for ages and got very close to getting one going with Game Maker 7.0 but never had the vision to keep going... your game is made from the ground up and thus far superior to anything I could come up with.. keep at it, and you'll probably make something of yourself soon.
wow great if you're 16!!!!!!!!
I read you have read some great books, try to read something about functional and reactive programming implementation in c#, but not all in a day, get it easy

This game is a culmination of a year and four months of work (in between full time work & study). I've focused on polish and simple, incredibly addictive gameplay. Let me know what you think.

*Unconfirmed quote
It looks great. I'm going to give it a try.
EDIT: It's a fun game, but it gets very repetitive. There's nothing to make it very exciting or separate it from the pack. There just needs to be something to make it more addictive.
I think you need more power-ups with exciting animations. And I can't help but feel there needs to be a gun or some other action button. I realize the gun would make it a completely different game though. I also think this is a $0.99 game not $1.87. The simple graphics are cool, but more pizzazz wouldn't hurt. When your game looks like Spirit or Hyperlight it could be worth $1.87.
The good thing is you have a great base. Give this game better graphics and a little more excitement and it will be a total win. I was already getting excited when I pulled my longest string together.
Not trying to be harsh or offensive AT ALL. I'm just giving my honest critique. I want this game to succeed because it's fun and I see it's potential! For that, you need to make it a game that people can't put down.

No need to tiptoe honest criticism is what all devs want. Yeah, I really wanted to keep the gameplay down to one set of controls. As for spicing up the graphics, to be honest, I have no design skills. This is my first game and I wanted to put something out that didn't scream 'amateur' (maybe only softly whispered it instead ). So I went with simple, straightforward graphics. I'll see about trying to tastefully expand the visual style.
RE price - the market has spoken. Downloads have been great, but iAP conversions not so great. I've lowered the price to 99c. But check your PMs, I've sent you access to the full game for free.
Thanks again for the detailed feedback! Anyone else with thoughts/comments, please let me know. Likewise, if you would like access to the full game for free, please PM me!
If you're an amateur and this is your first game, then it is completely awesome! I didn't get the amateur impression at all.
I enjoy the game. I think it only needs one more dimension, of what I am not sure, to push it over the top.
I did see that the ratings are great in Play. Congrats on that!
And thank you very much for the code!!! That was completely, unnecessary, but very much appreciated!
