I've been working in a soccer game for some time, still a lot of work to do but you can see an early preview here:
I'm working now on how to control the game, you can see in it in the video. I think this is the most important part of the game.
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!
looks awesome.
I guess you could control the player with the trackball, screen upside/down, and tap the screen to shoot/pass.
Or use your onscreen D-pad and tap to shoot/pass.
awesome stuff dude.. I tried this one football game from the market and it was serious crap... this is the kind of football that would work great on touchscreens i think.
Anyway.. i got a few suggestions/ideas
I like the way you use the trackball for direction of shot and strength. I'm not sure how fast you'd be able to do this during a game with 11 players trying to get the ball from you.
Makes me wonder if it's not better to have a few buttons on the top right side of the screen for passing/shooting etc and the joystiq for aiming. Also solves a tackling or pushing off the ball dilemma you might face with the trackball.
Sprinting; tapping the joystiq side in the direction you want to have the player sprint.
Probably ridiculous but if you really want to incorporate the accelerometer you could zig zag for tricks or something.
That is amazing! I love FIFA and this is perfect...cannot wait until it is finished. As is the controls look great.
Few ideas/suggestions
1. sorry shotormorgh, I don't mean to say your idea is bad...but personally i do not like it when games use the accelerometer. There are a few that make good use of it - but generally tilting the screen when you are trying to concentrate on it makes the gameplay harder. So i would say try to stay away from the accelerometer unless you would use it for camera angle - i.e. you can tilt your camera angle by tilting the screen a bit for better view - resulting in a more 3d look in which your sprites would just change depending on the view in use? (i've seen this in a racing game for the zune before and it was quite fantastic).
2. i really like the idea of "double" tapping your "d-pad" to cause the player to sprint. That is how most console games would do it anyways. And since you are using the d-pad to control the player it should be a pretty natural gesture.
3. I think that using the trackball for shooting control is alright - it is the only way i can think of controlling the accuracy of the shot without "dulling" down the game. The only other way would be to simply use the trackball as a button. When pushed it will simply shoot in the direction your player is pointing - resulting in loss of accuracy, but then you could use the trackball as a second d-pad for "trick" maneuvers and better defense?
4. If you stick with the shooting method you have now, which i would recommend, maybe you could make use of the search, home, back, menu buttons for defense and maneuvers?
5. You could also let your users choose the control options they want...for instance they can choose a beginner mode which will make the shot a simple shoot in the direction your character is pointing or choose advanced for the trackball aim and shoot?
Regardless, great work! The graphics look great and i cannot wait to play this game!

I was thinking some time about this. Using screen buttons to shoot/pass/etc needs multitouch screen to work, and not all devices support it. Anyway some people are telling me that many new devices come without trackball...
In my tests, the use of the trackball is pretty fast (and I'm not an skilled gamer).
The idea for the accelerometer look promising! Thanks!

I generally agree, accelerometer works nice with some games but I don't think it would have worked in this game as a main control, but as an optional control like shotormorgh says it would. I'll think in the camera angle thing you say.

At this moment I haven't planned the sprint but seems very natural to use it this way.

Yes, trackball is used mainly as a button. Optionaly using the directions of trackball you can choose the height of shoot and effect of the ball.

For now I don't plan using hardware buttons. In the first version of the game I will limit a lot the controling options, then we will add some options slowly, as people ask for it.

Yes, this morning I was thinking on a beginner/advanced mode.

Thanks for your input!
great job! looking forward to your first public release. If you need beta user, let me know!
Anyone know any action multiplayer game for Android? I'd like to see how responsive it is.
Sniper vs. Sniper.. I guess?
Finally, the game has been released!
It is still a very buggy beta version. We expect to get some feedback from early users.
If you want to try it, this is the game:

Thanks!
Seems nice from the video and the UI looks pretty good, but if I start a friendly match it crashes after I choose opposing team so can't really test it :\
Happens every time I select opposing team, I'm running N1 with one of the latest Cyanogen nightlies

Have you send the crash log from the force close? That will help.

Unfortunately the force close window only stays on my screen for 1/10th of a second, so I can't send the log.

Nice! But I can't find the stacktrace dump...
Try filtering only logs with the string "striker".
Thanks a lot! Having this info is quite useful!

There is no stacktrace in the logs as far as I can see, only an uncaught exception in the dalvikvm. Filtering for striker only gives me "striker create" and so forth.

It seems a memory allocation problem... I'll see if I can solve it, but seems difficult to reproduce.

Hi Guys!!
I've updated all my pads, Landscape and Portrait to have the new D-Pad and most have the new colours (which I find work a little better)
I'll keep on tweaking, but for the mo, I'm pretty happy with it.. Let me know if you have any issues.
Set your screen to 150%, will fit into the landscape window perfectly on all my pads.
For the new portrait pad I've recently uploaded, set screen size to auto.
These skins are ABSOLUTELY fantastic for games like Street Fighter2.
I can now do Ha-Do-Kens AND shoryukens ALL THE WAY ACCROSS THE SCREEN no probs!!!! I tried all the other skins I could get my hands on but found it too difficult to do the moves with them, so decided to try making my own with a modified keypad pattern, works a charm!
I've also extended the key-press areas to fit where fingers "would" go to by mistake for the buttons etc, and eliminated all blank space on the touch sensor part, so that you don't get unwanted key presses...
I've used the same d-pad skin and made button skins for the SMS and Mega Drive.. The SNES skin works for NES and GBA..
Try them out and let me know what you think.. If you have suggestions or games that for some reason don't work as well as others, please let me know.. I'd like to keep tweaking it..
I've used this pad flawlessly with..
SNES
Street Fighter 2
Final Fight
Mortal Kombat
Battletoads
RtypeIII
Star Fox
SMS
R-Type
Shinobi
Secret Command
Mega Drive
Golden Axe
Woooohooooo!!!
Downloading it !
Thx !
MOrphgear Pads
can you post instructions on how to use the New Pads for Streetfighter (Multitouch)?
regards
Raziel
You legend..............
Does this mean I can finally pull off the finishing moves in mortal kombat??
Sweeeeet
Thanks man!!

Hi!
To get multitouch to work you need a HD2 or a device with a screen that has multi touch (capacative)
Copy the skin files into the skins directory of morphgear using your file explorer.
In the set-up for the gaming console within morphgear, select the skin as your... skin..
Is this what you were after?
works perfect. but i would like them working at landscape mode so that there are more room for fingers. thanks man.
thanks !!!
tis a very good snes pad, cheers matey
will this work on the Omnia (i910)? thanks.
The best pad there is for Morphgear, thanks for sharing!
The only thing I need in Morphgear now is good Genesis audio support, it's rubbish now Sonic needs sound.
Any input is welcome!
i couldnt get the pad to show up in the select skin.what do i do?
yeah, best ever. I really love it, could you make it in landscape mode? the button A, B, X, Y is near the navigation button, therefore sometimes it makes hardly to play some games. thank you.
Vast improvement. Still difficult to run and jump in Donkey Kong Country, but a hell of a lot more playable than what I was using.
awesome skin, works really well.
i wish there was a landscape version though
Hey guys!
Thanks for all the feedback.. I'm gonna make a landscape versin after seeing everybodies posts..
This week I'm a little flat out with work, so I'll do a REALLY quick chop up of my portrait on and slap it together to see what it's like, (which I will probably put up tomorrow)..
I'll re-assess the landscape and spend a little more time making a better landscape for next week..
Hope this keeps the troops happy

MOrphgear Multitouch
sorry I meant how to use the Pad literally for Multi touch, to do the moves like dragon punch/Hadoken etc?
If I am not mistaken Morphgear does not support true multitouch so I cannot do the Moves as I would with a joystick.
regards
Ps: I have a HD2 with Artemis 26.1 Rom
Here's a quick one
Ok.. Here is a REALLY quick make up of the landscape version..
It's not finalised at all! But should be pretty functional.
I need to re arrange the buttons a little and re-do the graphics, but please test it and let me know how it goes and what sucks about it.
I will do it up properly over the weekend...

I feel really silly for asking this but it's driving me mad... When I exit the settings screen (by pressing the X button), i get out of the app, so none of the setting changes are saved. But I really can't find any other way out! Could someone help me with this, please?
I am using a windows 6.5.3 build, so the X is on bottom, of course, @latest ChuckyRom.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Luís

Sometimes the best answers are the most obvious - i just had to press the BACK hardware key. Problem solved.
Hi people.
This is my gift for Galaxy Note users.
It is a puzzle game named "Griddlers".
The puzzle is generated randomly,but it is still fun to solve it,even tough the final isn't a beautiful image.
I know,that the graphics is not beautiful,but this is a puzzle,so please forgive me for that.
Before you start,you have to calibrate the stylus by tapping the upper left cross section.
So try it out if you want and let me know your opinions.
Thank you.
Thanks man
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Very cool. Simple but challenging.
I noticed that the back button does not let you exit and there seems to be no way to quit other than the home button which keeps the app running in the background.
Fun, though. Keeping this on the phone for sure.
EDIT: You should come share this over in the AT&T Galaxy Note forum, too.
Well,I know,that the Back button doesn't exit. Simple reason: I hit it accidentially very often,therefore I disabled that. I can add some dialog box to exit.
Picross style games are quite wonderful with the stylus.
Therefore I made it for the Note...
Hi every one! I am happy to announce my entry into the Android Developer circle with my first app, Rigors of Space.
The game is an infinite flyer with simple tilt based steering system. You must pilot your ship through the rigors of space and safely to earth. Being an infinite flyer your success isn't likely, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
You can get it from the play store.
I tried my best to give it an old-scifi-cartoony aesthetic.
Here are some Screen Shots

here is a video
nice game
:good::good:
Cool game
I like your space game. The graphics is very nicely drawn, the only thing that looks a bit strange compared to everything else around is the spaceship of the player. Since the player should be the most important part of the game, I suggest to make the spaceship look nicer (especially the flat, red wings don't look that fancy in my opinion)
Great work on your first game dude! The animation and all the particle effects look really awesome, very polished for a first game for sure.
Judging from the screenshots, I didn't except much at first, but after trying it, I really like this game!
I like the idea and the graphics (I guess the players ship could be improved though).
When you die, the game wants you to insert a name. When you die a second time, the game makes you insert your name a second time. It'd be nice if the game remembered the name that was inserted the first time.
Really cool game though. I really like the trail that the spaceship leaves behind. Good job dude!

Hi, the game was nice, but I found a bug in it on my device.
I'm able to play the game only one time each time I open the game.
The next time I press the play button game starts but it again returns to the menu.
Thank you all for the feedback guys

Funny thing about the space ship. I always wanted to give my game a sort of retro-scifi cartoon aesthetic, and I was originally going with a flat, bold color palette. So I made the spaceship first, but when I started working on my other art assets I saw that the flat look wasn't going to fly. I ended up giving every thing else a bit more shading and depth, but left the space ship the same. I guess I should update the ship though

Yeah I was having problems with the keyboard. It does remember your name, but the keyboard pops up anytime your current score is high enough to be listed on the top 10 scores leader board. I'm working on a button that asks you whether you want to change your name instead of automatically assuming that you do. Until then just press enter as soon as the keyboard pops up and your pass name should be chosen automatically.

how many languages
how many languages have you localized, i think it will be much helpful to have more localized version
I was thinking of making a space game like your's
Your game looks nice!!
Looks cool
Good job on your first game! What did you make it with?
Greetings!
I'm looking for an old game I used to play around 2010 on my HTC Touch 3G with Windows Mobile 6. I installed a bunch of games from here, and I think this game came from here too.
It's a 2D game. The whole screen is black. There's a grey square somewhere (random) on the screen, and there are balls with random colors.
The balls constantly accelerate to the last place you touched the screen, as if there's gravity pulling from there. You could set the gravity point by tapping elsewhere on the screen, or by keeping the stylus/your finger on the screen and just dragging it.
The goal was to slam the balls into the cube by moving the gravity point. This destroyed the balls, and earned you points.
When all balls are crushed, the square changes to a new random location and more balls are introduced. I think the failure state was a time limit, but I'm not quite sure.
What was this game called?
I understand this is a long shot, but thanks for your time!
