Rotating 3D Globe - Android Apps and Games

I recall a Google video from about 2 years ago demonstrating the abilities of the Android OS with a world globe being flicked around with finger control. Inertia and al that.
Eye candy I appreciate but is there an app that does that?

Not sure what you mean but there's a live wallpaper called Earth Live Wallpaper, really cool and many other "maps" like mars, tatooine, deathstar etc.

The guy sais "now lets try the next application, global time"
i think global time is the name but its not on the market.. maybe you can find it on google.
Or maybe its just google earth

Yes that is the one. As I said just eye candy but perhaps the modern equivalent of worry beads - just flicking that globe around.
Anyone seen it as a stand alone app?
Thanks to all

terra time has what your lookin for a 3d globe

Microsoft chess titans.

I'm looking to see chess titans on android, its the game that shipped with windows 7 and it features fully animated chess pieces when moving them, instead of the regular "instant" move to square that I see in all the chess android apps today. (That confuses me x))
So of this is at all possible, it would be awesome to get it ported over to replace that choppy androidknight.

Anyone?

Needless to say, there's a rather slim chance of Microsoft Chess Titans getting an Android port. Chess for Android isn't animated, but it leaves a trace of your last move on the screen for you which should be enough to keep moves straight.

Live Wallpaper: Metal Slug

This is not mine! I just think it's cool and wanted to share. This is also in the app store but the version in there is buggy. I've been using this for a couple days now without any slow-down or FCs.
Basically it's a Metal Slug live wallpaper where you can drop bombs on Zombies. It has some options for setting the background, how many zombies, how many bombs you can drop, and so on.

[IDEA] New best android game?

I decided to give mobile platform a try. I worked before alot with java and it shouldnt be a problem. Im going to make start with games since they are way more fun to code than utility apps. Now the first problem would be the whole idea and concept of the game. I was thinking about some sort of sneaking game where you have to remain silent(not moving too fast), avoid lights and maybe security cameras. This would have traps along the way as well. Developing levels is not easy but this sort of game will just not work on score.
That's my idea. Now...tell me your ideas about a new game concept. The more ideas I get the better it is.
That sounds just like Metal Gear

And since theres no Metal Gear for Android, (besides fpse), I say go for it.
Gameloft has made a career out of offering us games that the original devs for whatever reason don't offer us on Android.
**note: I love Gameloft games, they are at least high quality knock offs of popular games.
something like transformers where player can become robot and car both and fight with other robot (maybe via internet too)
Huge multi player online game

I'll have to agree with that idea.
In a time when mmorpgs are all the rage, the world needs more well done turn based rpgs.
/fires up FFVI

Exactly! We need a good turn based RPG with an awesome story, gameplay and graphics. It's going to be a day one purchase for me whatever the price. I just miss those games.

To be honest I was thinking more about a 2d game since they are way more addictive. How? Just look at angry birds, fruit ninja, ninjump, tilt to live etc

A multiplayer game, phone vs phone via Bluetooth or something like that would be wicked. Especially if you don't need a data connection to do so

Hello, i have ideas to several games, all of them multiplayer.
Multiplayer via wifi or data connection.
I think they can be very successful, something Android havent seen yet.
But i dont think they can be made with one dev only.
And im not a dev.
That would mean having a server...

What about a tower defense where you actually have the towers already made but must place proper soldiers in them like archers, mages and healers. Why healers? Because you also get shot and die :d

What about a game like Boulder Dash, with gravity sensor to control gravity for boulders?
there's already a game with some things you said called Mouse Trap: deadle maze

A bomberman clone of some sort ? Definately with local and online multiplayer though or else it would be "just another bomberman clone" .

(live wallpapers) the undeveloped technology

Hi folks,
I have a question for you - Don't you think that the Live Wallpaper technology has enormous potential that never got enough attention? (leading to TOO FEW, if not NONE good live wallpapers?)
I mean, I did a big search and all I see are quite cheesy, e-card-ish 90s images that move in an awkward way...
Xperia's blue light live wallpaper is quite neat but thats one of the very very few that don't really hurt my eyes whilst looking at them.
After all that design poured into those android devices isn't it about time to make descent cool live wallpapers... maybe a contest?
cheerz
I guess it depends on whether you're talking about only "indie" developed live wallpapers or ones made by the big players. Personally, I think that the Samsung Galaxy s3 came with some really neat live wallpapers, not to mention that slick ripple effect they got going on.
There's also an app called Zedge, and they have a library with 2000 live wallpapers. There's bound to be something in there that looks pretty cool.
It would be interesting xda held a live wallpaper contest, there would probably be some pretty cool stuff in there!
Look for weather screen on the market. There is also a thread about it here as well. Also true weather is a great one also......
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
I have been in Zedge quite some times already and I still think there is plenty of room for improvement.
If all you are using is zedge, you aren't going to find very good live wallpapers.....
