Good morning dear XDA'ers,
It's been a long time since I posted on this forum. I've been working on what I call "weekend-project", which in fact was part of my bachelor thesis: a boggle solver game for android. As my thesis was in fact about client-server architectures, I decided to make this game multiplayer, so you can play wordhunt with your friends.
I know there a lot of work to do and I have a lot of features that I would like to implement like: dictionary, play with friends near-by, multiple languages and specialised dictionaries (cars, mechanics, astronomy, football, etc).
I would like to call this version a beta, especially for the fact that I don't know how the server will handle the load, if there will be many users. I'm trying to find time to improve it, but I need users to see what are its weak points.
I'll wait for your feedback and suggestions on how can I improve the game and most important if it is attractive to you.

Reserved for updates
Looking forward to next release...
Hey, so here my quick feedback:
+ cool, nice UI (nothing else expected, my friend)
+interesting, new play with words/letters
# maybe new games can be added, for example 10 words will show and u have to find as fast as possible etc..
# why ranking on main page (beside avatar), when this is always '1' or at least not related to 'top ranking'
# to less "maps". Two times behind same letters in just 2-3 games
- FC when changing username and hit save
- no information or explaining of error when register missing something or wrong entered (just showing 'login not possible')
- no showing of language. So where the words can be from. Any categories or dialects or....
- on/after register 'full name' and 'username' get connected. Maybe this should be only username (especially in game) and otherwise Frist and last name or what ever...
Surly I forgot some things, but at least u have something to start working at

Hello,
I would like to present you my first android app. It is the Word Trainer EN. With this app you are able to expand your English vocabulary and gain eloquence and quick-wittedness.
It is an offline version with hundreds of selected words from the Wiktionary. They can be browsed and learned systematically. The app uses the successful flashcard system. Train your eloquence in the learning mode (flashcards) or in the quiz mode, where you have multiple answer option which are chosen randomly.
To check the learning success there are several statistics included.
Here are some pictures for you:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The chosen words are mostly from the GRE and SAT list. I continously expand the database with new words.
Here is a list with all the features from this app:
Features:
-------------------
- Learning Mode (flashcard, card index system)
- Quiz Mode
- Both directions: word or description is given; also random selection is possible
- Statistics about learning bevavior (how much right/wrong answers, five best/worst words, distribution of the words in the boxes)
- Easy wiping through the word list
- Offline: All words are on your device
- Efficient memory allocation and less storage needed
- App2SD
I am planning to implement a Widget with a random word from the app and its description.
There is also an Ultimate Edition with twice as much words and without ad's.
If you are learning German or want to improve it, take a look at the German Version: Word Trainer DE
So, what do you think of it? What should I change or do you have any suggestions to improve the app?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Soo. I have finally implemented a word every 30 seconds widget for the homescreen. Enjoy it!
Shows promise! Thanks.
Yesterday i have plublished a major update including a new learning mode: Scramble.
You have to rearrange the letters of a given word to the correct name. You can get several hints to solve the problem. Check it out!
Pre-existing database for gre
This thread has been closed for pretty long, but I've been looking for a way to use a pre-existing database for making a GRE app. Can you please help me out?
Hi All!
So last year I created a thread here about an app that I had just released. I got a lot of great support from this forum so I though I should come back and give an update about the latest version!
It's now available from the market, and there have been a lot of significant changes. So here are a few screenshots:

The premise of the game is the same as always. You play the game on a map view, using you actual location. Zombies must attack survivors and vice versa. As a survivor, when a Zombie gets your health down to zero you will turn into a zombie. If you are killed as a Zombie you can respawn as a survivor.
The game has a leveling system, so you can level up as you attack users, and increase the range with which you can attack.
I'm also working on some pretty major features at the moment, as I want to integrate real world locations ... but that's all I'm going to say on that for now. I think the biggest news, however, is that there is also an IOS version in the works ... not that any one here would care but you will be able to distinguish between android and IOS users, and attack accordingly.
There is also a facebook page where I post pre-release versions of the app for people to try out.
I have thrown together a temporary website (while I try to find time to do something proper), which explains the game a little more. I have made a pre-market version available here, which has all of the latest features.. just waiting for a good time to go live on the market.
As always I would love to get as much feedback as possible!
Thanks & Enjoy!
Hi,
Nice app!
I gave it a try today.
I was lucky enough to find a player in my neighborhood but unfortunately he was a zombie, like me.
So my first suggestion would be to allow to respawn as an opposite kind.
Because basically I just cannot play since the closest other player is > 100 km from me!
Cheers.
Thanks! If you email [email protected] with your user name I can add some NPCs in your area. This is a beta feature so I ask people to request.
Cheers,

Nobody tried it ?
Interesting and original idea. I like it.
By the way, it will be better to return to main menu by pressing hardware back button. For now this button works as exit.
Thanks for your feedback !
I'll try to implement it in the next version
Interesting ! ; - D I will try it !
You should try and get sponsored by chick fil a :laugh:
I await your feedback
Nice clean graphics, but the rules are really brief. I was confused at tutorial level 6. Maybe you can add some more explanation in tutorial levels.
Some suggestions for improvements:
- set hardware back button to go back to menu/level select
- use move sound only for succesful moves (sound on every touch is confusing, when nothing happens)
Great idea to send code in exchange for reviews. I was curious how you can get 40 reviews with les than 50 downloads. After touch More worlds button I got an explanation ).
Thank you for your feedback !
I will think about add more instructions in the tutorial.
For the back button, someone has already said that. I will add it on the next release.
For sounds, i will think about it.
By cons for reviews, the majority of these have been made by friends.
But yes, the fact of asking a review for an activation code, it works really well.
Interesting ! ; - D
Nobody else tried it ?

I do not believe that XDA allows posts to advertise paid apps without having at least a free version available. You may want to check up on that.
Against forum rules. Post a free version also or this thread will get locked and or deleted.

Hi,
I finished my second game recently and I wanted to share it here with you guys to see if you maybe want to try it out and let me know what you think. It is a simple puzzle game. Just a casual type of game - think of 2048, 2248 or gem matching games etc etc, but with a new type of gameplay. Something to kill time in queue or on a bus/train/underground/tram/boat/helicopter/uss enterprise - depending on how far you live from work.
The game is written entirely with my own code - no unity, andengine, libgdx or other stuff. Plain old Java with apache-commons You may call it stupid - but I wanted it to be a challenge - I do have a full time job so its more of a hobby for me (although I do have kids so it might have some bugs as the time is limited).
If you have a minute and you don't mind - feel free to take it for a spin and leave a note here (on google play?) - i will try to answer if I can.
*REMARK*: If you do decide to spend few minutes to give it a try - I would really like to hear back from you - what do you think about the game, do you understand the rules, did it crash, why you do/don't like it? This is priceless input as I do not have a lot of mobile gamers around (drawback of having friends that graduated philosophy or arts...) and its quite difficult to get an audience on google play.
If you have any questions about the game itself or the engine - please let me know also - I will try to help out.
BTW I am interested if there are a lot of people that create android/ios games here. How it is going for you? I don't mean you have to share any numbers obviously - but the question is - do you get any noticeable income out of this? Or is it just pure hobby? (though if you want to hire for instance graphic designer + ads - it might be more expensive hoppy that cracking Faberge eggs).
