Hello Guys,
Today I want to present you my first developed game for Android and I want to say hello to this really nice community.
I want to tell you how it operates.
At first it checks that Bluetooth is available.
Then it reads the user data of the found devices.
Then the discovery process starts and it searches for devices.
When it finds one, it will be added to the list of founded devices, so that it will not beeing marked as a new device when finding it again.
Then the data will be uploaded to the central ranking server and the script will return the current ranking of your device and the number of devices, that have a rank.
There is also a level system. You have to find a set number of devices to get into the new level. This number is shown just the same as the number of devices you have found.
With the achievement system you can unlock game features and with the settings you can personalize your game.
The scoreboard shows the complete rankings, also with a nice addition, that every user that was active in the last 5 minutes will be marked as 'Searching' (Needs an achievement to see).
Please give any critique you can.
Screenshots:
No further development!

Thanks for sharing!!
I still want a program that will connect to Bluetooth devices and send them up to 130 characters I think it was, like I had for my HTC Tilt. Never worked on the Tilt 2, never seen anything like it for the Nexus. Was fun to walk around in crowded places and send stuff to strangers.
This app is funny, just miss 2 things (or I didn't find them ^^)
1. Telling user the name of the access point, not only the MAC address (as you said, there's some funny ones )
2. Knowing who's next to me I know I'm 4th, but I don't know who's 3rd, nor who's 5th. I even didn't put my nickname in it, how am I suppose to go in front of my friends and say "Hey, look at that, Khoral's 1st. BLUETOOTH HEADSHOT ! MAC ADDRESS MONSTER KILL !". You know what I mean
Used for "good"
Maybee there is a way too use this information for good?
Scan services on devices and soo on to collect useful information for ... someone?
Would be excellent to have a web front end so we can see whos in the lead. Im second and want to know whos ahead of me.
Woah! nice try for a beginner! looking forward to your next apps...
Nice app, can you make the UI compatible for higher resolutions? (I have a Toshiba folio 100 tablet).

Well now I know who's before me
Edit : I'm first now Bluetooth headshot \o/
Thanks to all the anonymous parisians whom I stole p) the Mac Address ^^
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Very original, I'll try this when I'm out in public.
jup i sometimes am surprised by how many people let their phone running bt .
i live in berlin to.. you have to try it out for example in the o2 arena.. ( op knows waht i mean) you are going to rank up pretty fast
Haha, nice to see your answers.
Like i said, it can be very funny to scan only to be the number 1 xD
Today I was in the metro and got 100 devices.
I will add the scoreboard as soon as I can !
Would it be ok, if the name you use as Bluetooth name will be used for the scoreboard ?
@Khoral:
It is surely a bit difficult to show the name immediately after a device was found, because the names will only be researched after a finished Scan. So I have to cancel the Scan after a new device was found, research the name of the device, show a toast with the name and then start the scan again to find a new device.
But I'm sure, that I will make it. ^^
Until the new version, i wish you much fun.
cool game. can't wait to play some
The game sounds interesting! Had to go and turn my other BT devices just for this .
Was wondering.. if it doesn't already, can you make it run on the backround? So I wouldn't have to be manually turning it on every time I want it to register devices. I guess it's not the point of this game, but I'd just be interested in how many BT devices I run into on my way to work and back.
hmmm does it upload the information about the device, location, where it is? etc etc to ur website?
This does need a leader board though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
This is aweaome, downloaded it this morning and I'm already 4th, I hope to be 2nd at the end of the day,
We need to create a thread on the peoples scores on this app while an actual leader board gets created
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
what's the website so that i could see the statistics
This intense, I was 4th then 3rd then 4 th again all in 30 seconds , who is 3rd, 2nd and 1st

Any chance for a feature that would allow us to add our own quotations?
Have you ever forgotten to do something in one place, and you were just past?
You remembered it just now that you're back home, and now you must go out again?
All this can be avoided! This is the app for you!

and when you passes close to it, GeoTask will warn you and remind you of what to do there!

GeoTask will alert you when you will be near one of your specified place!

How to use GeoTask? Read below for some simple instructions:
GeoTask allows you to associate an activity to a place, and moreover, if the place is used often, you can save it for future use.
When you open the app you will find 5 buttons with icons:
- Add new task: tap it to insert a new task to be carried out, in which you specify a name, a description, an expiration date, the place where you have to carry it out (selectable from the map or from a saved location) and the radius of alert (in meters), choosing from the preset values (if you want better accuracy you must also use the GPS positioning);
- Show saved tasks: Displays saved tasks in the app, nearby ones, expired ones, completed ones and also allows you to edit and delete them;
- Insert new place: tap it to insert a new place to do activities, you must enter a name, a description, and select a location from the map;
- Show saved places: Displays the saved places in the app and allows you to edit and delete them;
- Enable notification: tap it to activate GeoTask notifications, and from that moment on, GeoTask will alert you for your to-do tasks! You can disable it at any time if you do not want to be disturbed by simply touching it again.
GeoTask, you will remember anything!

Changelog:
Version 3.7.0
- Possibility to select favorite language
- More selectable alert ranges
looks pretty useful. I'll check it out
edit: just a suggestion, but maybe add a quick tutorial explaining how the app works and how to use it
Wow pretty good idea..will try this
Thanks mate:good:
I like this idea, but I do have an idea how to make it even better:
Would it be possible to include a method to determine the position based on the antennas (don't know how to explain it better in english), just like llama does it? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&hl=en) Surely this would only work on places that you have taught the program before, but for this an integration with Llama would be like the absolute amazing dream! So it would drain no battery at all and it would be enough for me, to be reminded of sth when I'm at work or at home.
I like the concept and the idea though!

Think the idea of polling cell towers and using those as location IDs works well in highly built up cities. I've just installed the app and will give a try for the next few days! Thanls.

it would be great if we could select multiple places for one task!
And a setting to determine the wanted language would be great, too - I use my phone in English even though I live in Germany, but judging by the translation on the PlayStore page and the critics from other German users I see there the translation is pretty bad - and therefore it might help (as a hotfix) if one could select a language instead of being forced to use the phone's default language)

thank you for your contribution!
We are glad to tell you we are working on a new GeoTask version with more functionalities, including the possibility to add multiple places for one task! It's a huge work and we are busy with our job, but we hope we could release it as soon as possible!
We are very sorry for bad translation, we don't know German and we tried to do the best we can do. We hope some user, like you, would help us translating GeoTask into more languages to make it better.
We hope you can trust us, GeoTask will be better
