Reference programs for wildlife

I have just installed a wonderful free application called 'Pocket Birds Europe' that contains pictures, information and sounds. I am also looking for something similar for trees, flowers and mushrooms (without the sound, of course!). Any suggestions?

The same company does a Pocket Wild Flowers program, and there's also a Wildlife Recorder program around that looks good.
Hope that helps.

Thanks! I somehow though that aviasoft would only be birds, but now I have downloaded flowers, herbs, trees and butterflies! There is also minerals, but I don't see mushrooms.

Mike: I'm glad you reminded me of that program. I saw it a while back, but they only had it in QVGA at the time, I was quite disappointed. I now see they have VGA which is great - I suppose from your post that the VGA version is what you use.

Yes, that's right. They have mushrooms under the name funghi. I was going to say I didn't have mush room on my SDcard Hehe, I am such a fun guy.

Space Trader Beta for Android is here!!! YAYYYYYY!!

For those of you that remember Space Trader for the Palm OS, there is a newly released beta version called Dark Nova.
http://code.google.com/p/dark-nova-android/wiki/BetaInstructions
I am not affiliated with these guys, just posting about one of the greatest games ever made. It is still in beta, and needs some work, but still, best game I have ever played.

hmm.. seems a lot like DopeWars but with some space-style graphics and more confusing gameplay.
This one has potential but they have a LOOOONG way to go before they will have a polished game ready for the masses.
There is no native way to close the game, going to different menus opens layers of windows which started fc'ing on me. After about 6 fc's I was back at the main commander screen.
Even if it doesn't fc you still just go back one page if you hit the back button so if you warp to another planet and hit the back button then you are instantly back where you started??
Good start though. Now that they've proven their concept I hope they make a game out of it

You clearly have zero idea what Space Trader is.

care to enlighten me?
*edit- I played it for 10 minutes or so and found several things that are almost identical to DopeWars. Buying and selling stuff, buying and equipping weapons, traveling and being stopped by a raiding party, the bank...
Seems like a very similar concept to me..

Its what I said it was. SPACE TRADER. It was a game built for the Palm OS and kicked major ass. I guess you could find similarities with dope wars, but it is different.
And yes, it is still in beta. The more people that help out, the quicker it gets polished. It is brand spanking new. If you ever played Space Trader, you would certainly LOVE this game, as I believe it is an exact replica, but with better graphics, and I think they added more missions.

it is similar to dopewars. jsut because it is set and space and has some diffrences does not mean he isnt right.
Its nto a bad start for a beta, i am sure the origonal was great and fans of it will liek this.
you dont have to get defensive though when someone differs with your opinion or compares it to something else

I said you can find similarities, and we both said it has its differences. I don't think I was being defensive. Plus, if you never played the original, and haven't really played it, I don't think you have standing to compare it really. You can speculate, but at least say "never played it, but seems similar to this...".
Would you say all FPS's are the same? Probably not...I think you see what I am trying to say.

Dude, are you paid by the devs to post these bs responses? Man, if they're similar, they're similar. Get over it. You just said u weren't being defensive and continued with another defensive post.
And yes, all fpses have obvious similarities and that's why they fit into the fps genre. It's not like the dude called it a dopewars RIP or clone.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!

you are being defensive again. I acctually have played the origonal i played this and see that is is the same game as origonal however the new interface is cluncky and there are TONS of fcs. No one said it is the same. We said it was similar and under your new criteria i CAN say that. I hope they can make it work and make the FCs go away and the interface a little more polished.
i wouldnt say all FPS are the same but i would say they are all similar.

I'm not sure if this is a zone defense or a 3-4 he is running..All I'm seeing is blitzing!!

ROFL, paid by the devs. Yeah....I get .00001cent for every download lol. Sorry folks. LAST TIME I will ever post any new beta that is out there. My fault for assuming people with too much time on their hands could be mature!

Middle Earth (the original) Space trader, as well as Dope wars, were once Amiga CNet BBS addon games in the late '80s - '90s. They were also made into "doors" addon games for IBM BBS, back in the days before the WWW. Similar and fun. Though you played against other people and only had one turn every 24hrs..

Seriously bro, calm down. Or just stop posting. You are the only one in this thread who has not been mature about YOUR thread.. I thought it was a decent start of a game. My comparison to DopeWars was a compliment, DopeWars is a classic and I restore it everytime I flash a new rom
I think there is a lot of potential for this game. I would suggest that you follow your own advice about not posting about any more beta software if you can't handle a little feedback that isn't "LIKE ZOMG WHERE HAZ THIZ GAME BEEN ALL MY LIF3??!!"
I'm glad they ported your favorite game of all time to the EVO and I hope it matures into a paid-on-the-market worthy game..

DOOD, My first DopeWars experience was on my Ti-83!! Damn those were the days.
I remember how freaking revolutionary it felt the first time Sierra built mouse control into a King's Quest game (I think it was KQ5?)
*edit- I just realized that was you! Looks like that crack in the case was a legit beef I got mine replaced, crack free!

You can't blitz every down in the pros anyway.

get m' duckett, hes being rude and he knows it. why start a thread w/o being capable of taking some constructive criticism? nebs a good guy and just stating the facts. you should watch your tone and pay attention,but becareful; you might learn something....

If you like Space Trader, I highly recommend checking out similar games all based on Elite.
I sense a lot of chaffing in here. Everyone take a minute to go look in the mirror and remind yourself somebody out there loves you.

Download link:
http://www.multiupload.com/2M729483GB
NOTE:
this may have some bugs so please , let me know. and im sure i can fix them.

downloading now

Loved your first Pokemon game, so def downloading this!

It's a series that I like ...!
Congratulations, I download it and you notice that such...

in this version my pikachu cant level up, and theres no "story" (dialogues) yet, eg in the arena.
i really liked your first game, and i am looking forward to the second one, but it is kind of annoying that you have to click so often after you defeated a pokemon.
maybe you could change that a bit.

ok, so i gotta say that i am really happy with the way this game has turned out, im not sure if you want this as a report the bugs thread or not, but i will post a couple that ive found so far, the poke mart says the pokeballs are 200$ but when you buy them they actually cost 300.00 in the beginning story, professor is spelled wrong, when you kill another pokemon, enemy is spelled wrong..
when you finish off an opponent, maybe make a menu that lists all thing thins accomplished in that last battle rather than having to press ok 3-4 times.
but so far, this is great progress, cant wait to see the next version!

Thanks for your feedback.. i was little annoyed when i realised that i made such silly mistakes. keep telling about the bugs and problems. its helping me, get better

Didn't test your game yet, but I will as soon as I get a computer with my phone's drivers on it ^^
One remark, do you have the right to use the Pokemon name and pictures in your game ? That could end in legal issues if not, and I don't think you'd want that ^^

I want to test it, but can you make it working in portrait mode? That way I can test it on my android tablet. (android 2.2, folio 100).

It works ONLY in portrait mode

Your game's name is "Pokemon". I think this is a registered trademark :/
And fan made pictures can be illegal too ^^ (but on that part i'm not sure)

Unfortunately I found a bug.
In the second arena, when I beat the enemies there is a FC...
But good work
Desire HD, Tapatalk

nice
its a raly nice game love both u first and this one, only bad thing in this one is that when u attack a pokemon and win it comes up alot of popups, can u put all those in one so it goes smother to play and dont have to click OK so many times and maby miss click i love ur games!

ohh, can't wait to download!

Great idea
In addition to the mispellings that were mentioned above.. pikachu and pidgey are also spelled wrong..

Dialogs are a bit annoying.
Don't expect this to last long if Nintendo catch wind of it.
Also, force closes every time when entering online battle on HTC Desire (2.26.841.2)

LEGO adjustable mobile stand

Hey all,
I've been gathering valuable information from the forums even before i signed up as a member and the amount and the quality of helpful information here is amazing.
I never had any info to give back to the community in the subjects that i was reading up on, so when i created this i figured i should share it here.
Its an adjustable mobile stand made from LEGO parts. It can cradle a big number of slate phones, in landscape and in portrait without modifications, although with small modifications it can cradle pretty much every phone out there.
It was originally made to cradle my N1 for some Wiimote emulator action but anybody can use it in their own way.
Here is a video of it in action and a link for build instructions over at instructables http://www.instructables.com/id/Retro-gamer-adjustable-mobile-stand/

I love it! Seeing those retro style pieces really takes me back

I'm not gonna lie. This is pretty awesome.

love these threads featuring custome made holders. and the lego bricks reminds me of the "technical" sets i used to have. well done mate

thnx all!
yeah its primarily built from LEGO Technic parts.
i had a blast taking out my LEGO, it had been a while

They are very nice...

Sweet... that is nerd-tastic!
makes me want to crack out my old technix sets.... just need the lego motor kit

Very cool function & look!

if you are referring to the yellow gear assembly part, i have made instructions on how to build that with regular bricks!
if you're talking about motorizing this that would be awesome
i didn't find my LEGO motor. i would so make a mod with the motor just for kicks. not very portable but it would be very cool!

looks awesome

now thats interesting

nice but i'd rather use a dedicated dock....

Whoa, im never thought about it...
Yeeaaahhh...
make itt....

enjoy the build!

Hi,
awesome work, but please could you post the instructions here? I have no facebook account and couldn't open them over at instructables.
Thanks!

my god..
THIS IS AMAZING
im gonna make one too, i love this

Hi,
this is by me pretty awesome, I cant stop laught, you know it is not funny, but I really like it, such a shame that I dont have any Lego parts know :-(
Thank you for sharing ;-)

This made it to the portal ! : )

Your work is phenomenal, I love that idea!
See you can buy individually from Lego... sweet!

That is sexy!
