Hi there
I was wondering if somewhere out there is something like a framework for creating animal like creatures based on parameters you can change.
The important part is it should not used predesigned graphics but generate something animal-like (kind of pokemon would be nice) that's only based on a given Input and it should produce the same output with the same input parameters everytime.
Is there something like this out there?
Or at least something similar that I can improve for my usecase?
I guess it could save me some amount of work and before creating my own.
And I thought i should ask here if someone knows something like this.
thanks in advance

I tried, but didn't find anything
Maybe i used the wrong search terms or there is really nothing like this (maybe this is a really special need.)
But anyway thanks for your answer

Hi All,
Thought i'd ask for help instead of just replying
I have a casio FX-795P personal computer (showing my age here.....) and of course this machine uses BASIC (those were the days.. haha). I have written a couple of short programs that help me in my day job to work out co-ordinates, bearings & distances (im a site engineer). Whilst the casio does a great job of this, i would like a programme on my Touch Cruise to save having to carry two devices round.
Does anyone know of a a free app that does this? Or could someone write one? I can pm anyone with the BASIC programme to help and of course i will test & donate
Many thanks to XDA!!
How exactly do you calculate the distances? i might be able to send you a link to something of that sort..
but please explain EXACTLY what you need

Hi nir36
Thanks for the reply and excuse me for not explaining myself in too much detail at the start. The app can work both ways:
1/ It is possible to work out co-ords for unknown point B, from known A co-ords and the known bearing and distance using a simple equation.
2/ and obviously working out the unknown bearing and distance from known co-ords from point a & b.
ideally the app should also have a section for simple pythag; a2+b2=c2.
The app would have an initial screen with 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords (as 1/ above)
2. Distance & Bearing (as 2/ above)
3. Pythag
Hitting any of 1,2 or 3 above would then take you to a seperate screen where you would input the known data to which the result is then given.
If you are interested I will add the BASIC programs to this thread for your interpratation. I would be very interested in how to get started for writing simple apps for WM devices, as i have many ideas..... Dummies guide
Thanks for your interest.
unfortunatly i'm not a developer.. but i do implement PDA packs for facilities..
i'm not familiar with anything that does that.
that is, of course you can compute distances between 2 sets of coords using a simple GPS app like iGO.. but i realize that's not the point.
there's an app called GPSToday which can get 2 sets of coords on a virtual map and tell you the distance between them.. but i'm not sure if it requires a GPS or not.. you can check it out, it's free.
concerning pythag.. i haven't the slightest clue if there's something out there that does that.
i have one suggestion tho, if you're willing to pay for such an app considering it doesn't require much coding (as i see it),
open a new thread in the Development & Hacking offering a sum of money for developers to develop this app for you.
there are many developers here and i'm sure some of them are looking for cash
cheers.
Nir36,
Thanks for the advice, i will post a thread there. My idea would not need the use of GPS as the results are from simple set equations that just need a couple of variables inputted to get the result.
Yes you are correct in saying the coding would not be involved as i have written it in basic and it would just need a little development to bring it on.
Cheers Nir36.

That post is much too old. Also, Android is much more beyond "Java Developers". Instead of making a recreation, we could directly port this. Anyone interested in doing this yet?
BUMP! Hope I'm not being annoying by reviving this thread! but
maybe this is a bit late - hope not too late.
i saw the discussion on how to port the code.
i can tell you, you dont need to port most of the code at all. projects i looked into which run on multiple platforms make themselfs a lib - like libwesnoth.so - which features all the wesnoth c/c++ functions - the java implementation is more like a gui wrapper then, which mostly calls the library functions.
so you can maintain one codebase, which makes about 95% of the code - and the java code perhaps 5%. dont forget, underneath of the java gui which the user sees lives a full linux userland, which a 2.6 kernel with most of the common used libs.
if you wanna take a look, what is inside, download for example cyanogen 6.1 which is based on google aosp sources. inside the zip you find the system folder, which contains files you find in the root of a usual system. for investigation, look inside this .zip file: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/bravo/ ... signed.zip
hope this info helps a bit.

Just a little quote from the link! I just want a wesnoth port so badly. I'd gladly pay for the game.
Used to play this game on my nokia n810 lot of fun please someone!
Ok now that i got your attention...
I'm currently developing an android application for 2.1 that uses sockets to connect to a local wifi network and send information to another app which has the role of the server (Client-Server model) My question is this...
What class/methods/tools can i use so i can make a spesific record in the SQLite DB which im using in the apps to create an XML and sent it over from the wifi network? That might require a DTD also i recon but what's the way to do it?
All the examples i found are talking for android apps sending xml's to a web server so that's quite diffrent from what im trying to accompolish!
Why i want to transfer XMLs? In my opinion it uses less CPU than any other java programming technique like arraylist so it will be smoother for the actual apps.
Thanks for your help!!
nice technique dude

Just do some googling for Android TCP/IP sockets and you'll find loads of stuff. For development help, there's always Stack Overflow. Same as on here, search before asking, but it's a great site for specific code issues. They do have an Android-specific area. Here's a link to all the Android tagged questions...

Good luck with your app
Hello everybody,
I am new to Android and web development in general. Recently Igot into a situation that is hard to figure out. I hope your professional advice can help me to solve the problem. A couple of months ago I realized that software dvelopment is a great way to earn money online. Making applications seemed to me the best way to have passive income streams bringing me cash from ads right into the pocket. I tried to code but it turned out to be so completely foreign to my mind and my nature, that I simply could not proceed.
Then, I decided to look for a company that actually develops software and knows how to do it. I found one company that looked legit and so we started working together. They created an app, implemented the ads and I uploaded it on the Android Market. It got really popular and I was so glad!
However, in a couple of months I noticed there was a new app that was EXACTLY like mine and it literally was stealling potential users that would choose MY app. I tried to contact the person but he said he had created the application before me. WTF! I saw he uploaded it AFTER I did.
What should I do? I see his app is increasing in downloads while mine is decreasing.
Report!! Perhaps???

Welcome to the world of application development. Unless he literally stole your code, there really isn't much you can do about it. All you can do is to update your app to make it more appealing than his application. Have you also stopped to think that you two might be working with the same company? Double-dipping much?

Thank you for your reply. Not many replied in my thread so I paticulary appreciate al the feedback I get
Is there a way to write an identical app ising a different code? I don't know about it.
Or, another qustion. Suppose he downloaded my app. How can he actually edit it? Does he use some sort of software? I was told, the apk file is like an archive that one can unzip and zip back again. But how would he do it, I wonder?
May be you are right and we are working with the same company although it's hard to imagine. There are thousands of companies in the world adn how in the world would we "meet" at one company? Here is thier website, by the way, may be it will help you to answer my questions --> a1qa website
May be you know better, I am a noob at software development, and I realize it.

You can easily unzip an apk file by using any Archive manager like WInZip, WinRAR , or 7-zip ... But can't actually make great changes like that ... But there is something called as Decompiling an apk, .. which will actually compiled the compiled java classes.dex file into .smali files... Now .. you can easily do some basic or sometimes even advanced changes to the app ... like for example .. you can change the app name by simply editing the string.xml in the res folder... then again recompile it into an apk and redistribute under a different name .. it's quite possible ... If you want to reduce the risk of such problems ... i'd recommend you have a look at ProGuard.
The ProGuard tool shrinks, optimizes, and obfuscates your code by removing unused code and renaming classes, fields, and methods with semantically obscure names. The result is a smaller sized .apk file that is more difficult to reverse engineer.

It is possible that someone can decompile your apk and read your source code if they had enough time and resources. If you are worried about such things you might have to begin using other techniques such as code obfuscation or encrypted compilers to protect your source code. And yes, it is possible to have two program do the same thing but have different source code to do it. Although there might be some parts that are the same, how you write you code will be different than how they write it.
You should be aware that making a lawsuit will cost you more money than you earned and if somebody makes something that does the same thing as you ddid, that still does not mean that they have stolen something from you. Jeez, how can somebody who hosts apps not know this, are you teenager or something?
Yes, in programming, it is possible to write programs in 50 different ways and do the same thing.
You cannot copyright ideas, only source code and functions...unless you are apple of course. They can copyright rectangular shapes.
What you should do? Get his app, and compare it to yours. I dont know if you can access source code in android apps because I dont develop aps yet, but if you can, you should compare his fuctions with yours. If the code is 80% simmilar, it is stolen.
Hi there,
I'm searching for an app to learn playing piano.
My idea of the functionality is as follows: I'd like to use my own, real-life piano with the app on the android-tablet providing the sheet of music. The student plays the music from the given sheet of music. The app analyzes the played notes with the integrated microphone in the tablet. Correct/Incorrect played parts will be marked respectively.
All the existing apps I found just work by simulating a real piano on the touchscreen of the tablet. I'd like to have to connection to the real thing, as described. Perhaps somebody can point me to a better implementation or at least I could inspire someone!
Kind Regards,
airflow

I'm really sorry, but my investigations didn't turn out anything usable. I once downloaded and tried a lot of piano-learning apps, but not a single one with the needed functionality. But please keep in mind that it's already some time ago and the app-landscape can change quickly (as I learned in other similar cases)
Did you have any luck?

airflow
