Hey all! I am pretty new to the forums (as my post count will show) and am taking AP Computer Science at school, which happens to teach Java. Since I had a lot of free time over winter break and during class, I made this. It's a direct port of Thy Dungeonman of Homestar Runner fame! If you haven't played it, it's here.
I take no credit for the text or gameplay; that is the sole property of the Brothers Chaps. I only take credit for making it from scratch for Android as a side project. Feedback is appreciated! I probably won't release it on the market due to the fact I don't own the main game content, so it's free for the XDA folks! Attached are the .apk and zipped project files, both exported directly from Eclipse. Enjoy!
Screenshot coming possibly tomorrow because the app can't upload pictures right
You might want to include a screenshot. (For marketing purposes)
Get it?
Good idea! I kinda hope it uploaded clearer than it looks on XDA app...

Hello to all gamers out here! (if you're not a gamer don't read).
Since I am achievement addict (about ~11k Feint Points), I've decided to create
easy to use website, that would list Feint achievements (like x360a.org).
Notice, that's just a little bit of things I am planning to implement, and I didn't have time to add many games, but if someone is interested in database like this, tell me (if you're not, tell me too, but tell me why )
Ok, here's link:
http://db.feinter.hostzi.com/
Tell me what do you think about it
This sounds awesome I would most definitely be interested in joining in on the bandwagon on this sounds tight! Great job buddy.

Thanks for the good word, I am planning tracking features, so you can make account and select what achievements you already got, and some system, so other users can submit achievement lists, and games, so I can have more time for development. I won't add all 700(?) Android Feint enabled games by myself
I hope there are some Feint addicts that could help, but I can't pay for that, keep it in mind
I'm 14 years old and half of a day is a school hehe

Hello,
Shake 'n' Roll Labyrinth is my first Android game. As an 3D Artist it has been very important for me, to create a real 3D look with a realistic rolling ball, nice shadows and realistic collisions. I think this is, what makes it real diffrent from the others. A real hard thing was to find good balance between performance, look and quality. I used Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.3 as the reference.
It would great, if someone want's to test it and give me feedback, to make it better.
You can download it for free on google play.
Cheers
Thomas
Seems nice
Congratulations on your first app, u reminded me when i created my first one
It seems nice, i will try it and let you know

welldone Thomas, I tried the game it is working well on GS2 except one minor issue below, also i liked the splash logo
Issue: there is a slight flickering feeling even if i am not shaking or titlting the phone
Good luck
Hello Karim,
right before uploading it, on one hand I felt very excited and on the other very afraid. I'm so proud that the error reports still count ZERO cause I could not test it on different hardware/OS combinations!
I'm really happy about Unity 3D. In the beginning it was hard for me to find a game engine that fits to my ideas. I started the project with build in stuff and ended up with scripting everything. Really creazy for me, as I'm a visual Artist.
For me, Unity 3d is a great peace of software and it is for free. It is alright for me, to show their splash screen, till I'll buy the pro version.
I'll check the flicker issue and try to fix it.
Thank you so much
Thomas
Shake 'n' roll labyrinth - free game - version 1.06 out now!
Hello,
Shake 'n' roll labyrinth - version 1.06 out now!
- There is now a pirate mode. First of all you have to find the ghost ball. If you found it, you'll see the ghost ship. You'll have to sink it with your cannonball to reveal the treasure - the gold star. The ghost can push you into the holes. But it can also help you to become faster. Let the ghost push you through bottlenecks by which you otherwise would not fit through.
- There is a pixie mode. Lots of glitter and 10% time bonus on your score if you can find the butterfly.
- A new Easy mode. Here you can play a classic labyrinth. Some holes are capped, however.
- If you prefer vintage and sophisticated mode, then play the pro mode. With no cover and plink plink.
- If you would like to compete with the rest of the world, you can submitt your scores to the Openfeint social gaming community. Check out, what your buddies and friends do.
- Another quick message on Facebook - no problem.
Enjoy the game.
Cheers
Thomas

It looks good, but I hate Open Feint so much I can't install it. Is there any chance you might be willing to offer a spam-free version, or take it out completely?
Thanks!

It is possible to say No to openfeint. You don't have to sign up.
I decided to integrate it cause of the leaderboard and facebook. I thought it would be cool to have something like this.
At the beginning I was trying to make my own scoreboard. But it looked like in the 80's. I thought it should me more up to date.
Is openfeint a spam community? I did not allow to read phone state.
It is no problem for me to compile a openfeint free version, if people prefer something like that.
Do you think this makes sence for more than you you?
@kcls
The system requirements are : android 2.1 or higher (better)
and a arm7 cpu.I'm testing the performance with a samsung galaxy s. If it is all right there, then it all right for me.
Saying no doesn't stop then from taking up space on my sd card with their folder, or redirecting me every time I open the app if I delete the folder. Not a huge deal, was just curious. Thanks for the app.

@Droidificator.
I agree. I removed openfeint! I'll itntegrate my own highscore board. It will respect your privacy.
Thank's for opening my mind.
Awesome! I wish more devs were open to the idea. They don't pay you guys to include it do they? I certainly don't want to take any money away from devs over this, I'm just a little neurotic about sd card space since I got the One S.
Thanks again!

You don't get paid. They just give you something (Leaderboard, Achievements, Online Community, facebook, twitter). You have to give them something in return. Permissions.
It is not so easy for a one man show (like me) to integrate all these features. You need to run a sql database for the score board, need to go through different sdk's and and and. Openfeint gives you something like that out of the box.
I like to compete with others. Thats why the scoreboard is so important for me.
I was testing my own sql scoreboard and wasn't too happy with it. You know - I don't know too much about sql. Thats why I kicked my own leaderboard in the trash and decided to use openfeint.
Now it looks like I have to get it out of teh trash can.
Thanks anyway!
Cheers

Hi, everybody, i'm developing a pokemon 2d platform game for android.
take a look at :
http://igg.me/p/307142/x/1796529
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXDFkWrdzdU
please help me make this fan made game a reality,
after its done it will be totally free and free of Ads. :good:
if you can't back me at indiegogo just simply give it a Like and spread the word
The game begins just like in the gameboy color pokemon games, you pick one of bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle or pikachu then justo pass throught level wich are the main scenarios in the kanto region like viridian forest, caves, st anne.
You need to collect coins in order to improve and evolve your pokemon, so you can continue pass the next levels wich are obviouly more and more difficult.
Sounstracks are the originals from the gameboy versions, and art comes from free sources.
If you help me by backing the project at indiegogo.com you can get a special personalized edition of the game with the pokemon of your choice
Wow thats awesome, i have been waiting for this for a long time!! Great work and don't give up!
I will be waiting for the release!

Yay! A pokemon game! I love pokemon
thanks! I hope the project reaches the goal.
And remember that any sugestion about what you want to see in the game is always welcome.
I really don't see this game ever happening. You're creating a game based directly on the premises of pokemon. The legal issues alone....
WoW great it will be a hit for pokemon lovers

I agree, although this game doesn't have to go to waste. It can still be a good game without pokemon.

As long as you're not monetizing the application I'm sure you'll be able to put the app wherever you please. It's a nice fan made project. As long as you're using Nintendos copyrighted material in limited circumstances it'll be fine. Maybe switch up the names of the towns/locations would be a good way to go. Your project seems to fall under Fair Use rights. Just be sure to add a clearly written statement within your project and within the Google Play Store stating your fair use rights and your purpose for the project was for education, criticism, and experimentation.

You'll be fine publishing this piece. If you really feel the need to get a few bucks for your time and effort put into this, or just enough to cover your $25 registration fee to publish it on the Play Store you can take donations.

Hey XDA-developers I just started playing around with android development a month or two ago, my full time job is being a geophysical processor and the exploration industry is doing really bad right now so I've had no contracts and a lot of spare time lately.
I figure the best way to learn more about developing is to get involved in an active android dev community so here I am.
I've managed to make a pretty simple app and publish it to Google Play.
This app is basically the version of the drinking card game, kings cup, that I play with my friends.
Its free but has some small banner ads along the bottom, its my first app and I would love any feedback at all on it.
As this is my first post I can't post a link to it but if you Google "Shashoy", it is the first result, also if you search in the Google play store for "Shashoy", it is the only result.
There are two screenshots attached so you can see what it looks like.
This is also my first post with xda-developers, so if I've messed up some formatting, broken some rules, or posted this in the wrong place I'm sorry. Anyways, this is my first app and I want some feedback! so lemme know what you think.
Thanks!
Hello everyone! I'm not sure if this is the wrong section, let me know if it is. And if I understand right, I'm not allowed to post the link to my game since its paid? Anyways I'm looking for someone with a higher end rooted device to record a bunch of high quality video of my game some I can put together a trailor. As I am using the nexus 7, I can't record it myself. Reply to this thread if your interested, and I will send you the link. Its 99¢, and trust me, this is very polished professional looking game. Not just some piece of junk someone threw together in ten minutes.
Hello sadly i also didnt root my current device until now , but how about contacting one or some of the thousand guys who already uploaded their recorded game videos on youtube?
I think its the most easy way !
Also there you can choose the skilled guys!
Just for interest...
What is it for a game?
