After a few months of on and off part-time efforts, I've managed to design and develop an android game. Its a small autocross game called SkidPad. Currently I have a lite version published and am working on pushing out a full version soon.
This is my very first attempt at pushing something out to an app store.
It should be there on Google Play under the name "SkidPad Lite"
Its an autocross style game where you need to cross a sequence of checkpoints in order as fast as possible. Points will be deducted for cutting the track. Unlock cars/levels as you play.
The controls are quite simple using the touch interface. The tilt interface though.. I'm not a big fan of it, so its still pathetic. That will probably need some more work.
It would be really great if the forum members try out the game and provide some feedback
Providing a link will be come in handy!!!

Thanks a lot. Since I'm pretty much a "new" member (been lurking around the forum for years without posting much), the system didn't allow me to post a link. I can't even quote your message that has the link in it. All for greater good I guess.
However, that will not be a problem going forward
Here are a couple of screenshots from the game.. Hope you all like it

Have you done it with Unity?

Nope. This was entirely done using the Proton SDK in C++. I'm not that comfortable with Java or C#.
Proton is a nice and free SDK, but it lacks documentation - basically you have to run through the code to find out what's what.

It does, that is because I haven't made a good background picture that is my own. I will have to go out and take a very good picture at some park maybe

For now concept........(early stages,lol)...I haven't decided if it will be a interface/plugin, or a mobile os. My dream plan was to make a Mobile Os and get some devices made (Medium-end phones maybe) to put it on. That might be wishful thinking.

Note: All phone numbers and addresses are fake. I do not know who will answer,lol
The first post has been updated. It includes all the new concepts.
Note: Everything on this page is copyrighted, and the way it works is patented (of course I didn't tell anyone how it works yet)
Quantum Website in the works.
Updated the front page with a few updated pics. Starting to get this thing together.

Im working on the concepts with Photoshop. As of right now i am learning the most i can about Mobile operating systems, because right now i know Quantum 2.0 is not very good.

LOL, I also like the figure!!! XD
Working well . Thanks
I'm on Valentine Box , perfect score (3 stars) on every level until now , no walkthrough used (though there are A LOT of them on YouTube). It's a very nice game I feel it kind of sharpens my logic and my ability to forsee and react!
Plus it's free! God iUsers must be maaaaaaaad...!
Thanks for the info.
Why does this game want to read my contacts and calls?
Thanks for the game I had never heard about it.

Found this on another site (SOURCE - droidgamers) and thought would share. No onscreen controls as uses hardware keys (early port's). have not got time to test at mo but if the Xperia Play Keys dont work straight off you can remap unworking buttons with Gamekeyboard.

ResidualVM is another emulator that is a cross-platform 3D interpreter which allows you to play LucasArts' Lua-based 3D adventures games and has had a team working on it for awhile now. As with all things relating to emulators, the inevitable question arises about an Android version. Well it seems some users over on the ResidualVM forums have taken it upon themselves to unofficially port the emulator over in the hopes that the ResidualVM team picks it up and makes an official version from it. However, the unofficial version works very well and you can grab it and play a little Grim Fandango on your Android device if you're up for it.
Of course this is still a work in progress and there happens to be no overlay with on-screen controls that you can use to play the game. The solution to this is to either use a physical controller or an application like Game Keyboard to have a custom overlay that you can use to play the game. You will also need a fairly high-end Android device to run everything as full speed. Our tipster has it running nice and smooth on a Samsung Galaxy S II so you don't need a bleeding edge Android device to run it well, just a decent high-end one at least.
If the current coder of the unofficial Android version decided to merge his port with the code base of the ResidualVM team's version, we could see an official version of ResidualVM not too long from now. Until that happens though, we have an unofficial version to toy around with. Of course if you aren't technically inclined when it comes to emulators, especially those that are a work in progress, you might want to wait on grabbing this one. If you're up for mucking around with this unofficial version, and playing a little Grim Fandango, hit up the official forums below and on page 4 and 5 of the thread there are links to the different ports.

Hi XDA! You might have seen my previous app, PulseFlash which was made in the process of learning Android app development. This is once again made for the same reason.
This tiny Compass app was made Graphics Designer new to the app development scene, thus it is very clean. I've utilized most of Android's framework, making this app fit right in!
This app doesn't need any permissions from Android. The hardware used is sensors already available.
jfeinstein10 for his amazing SlidingMenu library.
A lot of folks over at Stackoverflow.
@SpaceCaker who is my personal Android Wikipedia, didn't help me in this case, but awesome guy anyway.
The main source code is available at my Github, I did not share the graphics, nor styling files. Feel free to use the code, but please do not recreate my app, or something very similar and then share it publicly.
Please do not mirror - I'd like to track my downloads
Its simple and nice.

Is it on the play store too ?

Not yet no. I am not capable to pay the Google Developer fee yet.
I'm having a question. You're using TYPE_ORIENTATION for the sensor. Isn't this deprecated since API Level 6?

Yes it is, thanks for pointing out!
But I found that when I use a workaround I end up needing more permissions which I don't want to do. Anyhow thanks for the heads up!
It works well, thanks.
Good job, great and simple all, I read in the details that you're 14, if I were you I'd be beyond proud to do something like this at such a young age
I always had this thing to learn app development specially for Android.
So one fine day I decided. Sat Down. Opened up my laptop and started learning or reading on whatever I could get my hands on. I started making some basic Java Apps and then later shifted my focus on Android Studio.
One month down the line, I started making my own app and yesterday I launched it.
Now remember for a wallpaper app, update wallpapers weekly or daily if possible, upload only those images which can be used publicly or do not have any kind of rights or licensing.
Make sure you have eye-catching wallpapers.
I have made the backend in PHP MySQL.
You can check this out.
Best HD Wallpapers App - Apps on Google Play
Though I have not started earning from this app, obviously.
But I will try my level best to market it as much as I can.
Do download it and give me a feedback if possible.
Cheers!:fingers-crossed:
