[GAME] Banzai Birds - [R] - 2011/07/21 - [V] 1.0.0.0

My new game Banzai Birds has hit the Windows Phone Marketplace, and the best news is that I have decided to make it free!
The first episode consists of 20 challenging levels of dodging, diving and fleeing (from evil owls) each testing your timing and reflexes using the accelerometer .
Two additional episodes updates are to follow, each with 20 levels, gameplay updates and new graphics.
I'm taking suggestions for improvements for the next episodes so if you have any cracking ideas lets have them!
thanks all!

I couldn't find it in the marketplace, so I followed your link. Is it not available in the EU (Germany)? I can't download it ("Download" never appears on my phone).

Yes it's really annoying. Microsoft's new publishing system requests a Content Rating for submitted apps for each country you want to publish to. not all countries require a rating, unfortunately Germany is one.
if you can side load go here...

If you like it please review.
thanks!

Why, thank you. That is some good information to have. I'll sideload your game later, probably.
By "requests content rating", what exactly do you mean? How do you get your content rating? Will this mean that games will come delayed to those markets? Does MS offer this "service" to its developers, or do you have to get it yourself?

I need to read up on it a little more to see what I need to do / get around it.
Here in the UK we have U rating for kids and 18 rating for adult content but its not a requirement for games hence I could sell my unrated app in the UK.
I guess Germany requires a rating of some sort for games?

Yes, in Germany you need to have a USK Rating on games you sell (0, 6, 12, 16, 18), but I never knew this was needed for "digital distribution" as well.
Anyways, afaiu, the USK rating board has to review your game and, at least that's how it seems to me, this takes several months... But I am not too familiar with the whole process, so I can't tell for sure. Surely, MS must provide you with information about this... I just hope this is not the end of games for my WP7 because they'd make it hard for developers to get the rating..?
EDIT: I now checked the USK Site. Currently, games can only obtain a USK rating if they are provided on physical media (DVD, CD etc.), not digitaly distributed games (allthough, they can get the rating as well, if they are additionally provided on physical media). They are *planning* to extend this to "non-physical" games, but haven't yet done so... So, not sure what I should make of that.

Looks like it could be a while. Ridiculous really Germany is a good source for downloads

Thanks all for your suggestions.
I have upgraded Banzai Birds now at V1.1, changing the initial level designs, new graphics and better parachute control.

[REQ] James Bond Android Theme/Wallpaper/Whatever

Hey guys. I just saw the new Bond movie (totally amazing) and once again loved the software. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to create a theme that looks like this or some sort of cool wallpaper or really anything similar. The creator of the operating system for the film really got it right. There is a quote from him below that should help.
"Ben Radatz: We also designed all of the GUI's (graphic user interfaces) in the film, along with a custom operating system for MI6, the agency Bond works for. We extended that design out to Bond's hi-tech gadgets, including a mobile phone that snaps high-resolution photos using infrared, thermal, sonar and visible light sources to create a composite image. This was featured in a key scene in which Bond attends an opera and exposes a crime syndicate by using the composite photos to identify the players in the dark.
We worked a lot of theory into the OS, reading up on new-age mind mapping and radial thinking techniques, which basically prioritize color, shape, and visual arrangement over hierarchical lists as a way to organize and process new information. We also integrated Boolean logic and free association into the design, giving the OS a very organic, intuitive foundation. None of that was really meant to be seen, though; it was just the behind-the-scenes thinking for a deceptively simple shell, but it was simple for a reason: MI6 is a spy agency, so its agents need an intelligence system that could not only parse mountains of data in real time, but would also be dead-simple to use in the field.
Because the human brain responds to color faster than any other visual stimuli, we coded data sets with annoyingly-bright colors and arranged them into primitive 'nodes', designed to catch attention and direct the eye. This all folded into a nonlinear data web – a self-constructing pool of information that constantly morphs and adapts to new information from any number of sources: intelligence reports, government databases, the news, the web, wiretaps, fieldwork etc. This information is contextualized in real-time, and the computer then makes intelligent decisions about what pieces of data are most relevant to the task at hand, presenting them as a consolidated 'book report'. So for example, when M speaks with Bond on the phone in her office, her wall-sized transparent display tracks his movements, analyzes his voice, calls up leads he's following, and so on, all without her involvement. That data is also tailored to her rank and needs (she wouldn't need the same information as a forensic analyst) and arranged on the fly for quick consumption." (Source: artofthetitle.com)
Here is the link from the quote with more photos. If you scroll about 1/3 of the way down the page you'll be around the right spot.
http://old.artofthetitle.com/2011/01/24/quantum-of-solace/
If anyone actually takes this on, I will be eternally grateful. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. I just figured themes would be best.
Cheers,
Ben

Sorry about this picture. It's the best I could find.

Something Out There
I found an awesome Bond theme! It needs to be updated to the new UI, but besides that it's fantastic.
http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/11/01/skyfolly/

My theme isn't technically from the Bond movie (if you're feeling super picky), but instead based off vimeo . com/m/50861176 (apparently I'm not allowed to post links here...), a Sony commercial tied to 007.
More info and links for that specific GUI can be found at hudsandguis . com/2012/10/17/007-skyfall-ui-sony-mouse-cat-spot/ . I'm sure someone with more PS and UCCW experience than I can make a much more fluid theme!
Can't wait to see what others create!

Here are some of the Wallpapers and other Images that can be used for wallpapers taken from the Skyfall Theme for the Xperia T.

Me again ... with a nice one (after 3 updates from the developer in the past 3 days, now this face it's close to perfection ).

How does ambient mode work? There is no sensor on this watch.

That is just a marketing name. Ambient mode stands for the always on face which should be dark and with low brightness in order to preserve the battery and not to cause burn in effects on the amoled screen.

Another one I like, "woto watch face" it's a simple moto 360 watch face without any moto text. Looks great!

Good customization and very futuristic! The design and animation give my watch more "high-end" feel.

I just picked up this watch today and I've found the best ones I like from facerepo.com, you can go there and browse some faces.
If you decide to use any of those faces, you will need an app from the app store called Facer to use them. It is VERY customizable and works amazing on this watch.

Aviator is my favorite watch face. Lots of info, not too busy and macho look.

i made a few tweaks and love this face as well. nice choice.

I'm eagerly waiting for my watch to arrive. Should show up between the 25th and the 2nd. Looking through the play store for watch faces that I want to use when it shows up. Found this one that I'll share. The black version looks really good on the G Watch R.

Simple green android face
Just posted a new simple green android skin i use
facerepo.com/app/faces/details/round-android-149dca9ea1f
i am mostly a lurker so can`t post urls yet....

Guys.. I got a question regarding faces.
I'm using WatchMaker app and downloaded/self-made faces tend to slow down the watch (esp when exiting apps, it takes a few seconds to re-load the face).
However, the standard in-built faces by LG have so such probs whatsoever.
Now I'm wondering if this is a WatchMaker problem. I intend to purchase Facer as an alternative, but I'd like to hear from you guys too.
Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, WatchMaker has a very high report / refresh rate which might slow other apps down as the CPU is in higher use. I have found that WatchMaker is the only app that can display a smooth sweeping second hand (if a face was programed with it), where all others will show it "tick".

That is exactly what I thought. I then changed the setting of WatchMaker from 50fps to 1fps. Still no use.
I was hoping some Facer users can comment on how their custom faces behave..

You do know that a zip file used in WatchMaker works in Facer... Try your faces in Facer and see what your performance is like.

Well yea I know, but I just didn't wanna pay for it. 15 mins trial time for this kinda app is a very short time
Anyways, I bought it and yes, the faces from Facer are significantly faster. Now the thing is, the faces I made in watchMaker are in .watch format, which cannot be used in facer. The downloaded zip faces work fine both ways though.
What a bummer. Facer is totally not user friendly for creating faces, and I believe it's limited. This is gonna take some time...

It's not like it will cost you a fortune or anything ...
Here is one of my creations for watch-maker, btw .

Cool. Saw yr post on WatchMaker g+

A pack of 8 faces made for WatchMaker ... I'm posting them here because I promised I'll share them and this looks like the proper section.
Use these faces as you like but, in case you are sharing them further, please give credits.

[WatchFace] Circles Watchface

Hello everyone!
This is my watchface that I published on the Play Store:

It features an original and clean design, with support for ambient screen (dimmed mode).
Future updates will feature more themes with various color combinations, and the possibility to fully customise the interface.
It was tested on a Moto360. Supposedly it should work on other Android Wear smartwatches as well. If you can test it on other models, I would be grateful if you would provide feedback.
Get it for free from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deveddy.circleswatchface
Enjoy!

I like it. It looks quite nice on the GWR.
A (configurable?) black background (in ambient mode) would be ideal for the OLED screen.
It's a keeper for me, thnx!

I updated the watchface with black background for ambient mode. Customization of colors is still in the works though.

Misleading advertising in the picture on the play store. Its a 360 but without the flat tire? Photoshopped really? Also it's not compatible with wear 5.0

Haha, good one! I'm not a designer, I just used some free template from the internet. But I hardly believe that someone thinks that it's fake advertising.
Also, it should be compatible with wear 5.0, I tested on the emulator (I still haven't received the update yet on my Moto 360) and it worked. Although it's not using the new Wear Watchface API (yet )

It'll work but it won't dim. So it will shred battery life.

Oh, I see, I couldn't test ambient mode in the emulator. Anyway, I'll be updating the watchface to the new API very soon.
Thanks for the feedback.

i also could not get it to dim and it estimated full discharge of battery at 8hrs from 80% serious drain, i dont even use FIT now as i found that take battery too!
really like the idea off the ambient display more then the main one

Hi! I just published an update to the watch face, that makes use of the new Wear 5.0 APIs. This being said, ambient mode works flawlessly,also a 12-hour format option has been added, and the circles are sharper . Enjoy!

I have just installed your watchface and I like it.
Could you add the possibility to raise the diameter of the circles ?
On my LG R the circles are a bit smalls compared to the diameter of the screen.
Many thanks.

classic design. had this in my collection and confused it for a default watch face! :good:

Hello, friends!
We have developed a new, very cool anti-aliasing system.
Which allows you to achieve better picture clarity at a lower resolution.
Accordingly, I have a question for you - what do you think is better:
1) Decrease the resolution of pictures, which will reduce the size of the application, increase the performance and the number of supported devices (the picture quality will be at the same level).
2) Or leave the resolution as it is, which together from the anti-aliasing system will allow you to achieve a VERY high image quality?

Hello! Your wallpaper is so beautiful. I'm gonna download it later.
I have some suggestions for live wallpapers!
- Beach scene (Morning, afternoon then night)
- Forest scene (Morning animals, afternoon animals, then nocturnal animals)
I think those would appeal to lots of people!
