[APP] basketball fans... check out Pick My Bracket

Hey college basketball fans. Check out my app called Pick My Bracket. Once the brackets are out next month for March Madness, you can use the app to generate a bracket for you. It uses seedings, team records, and a special formula for making the picks for each game. While its meant to be used for fun of course, I did spend a lot of time on the formula and it generally produces pretty good results.
In the meantime, it comes loaded with the 2009 and 2010 tournament brackets... so you can play with the app. For previous years, it uses a standard point system to calculate your total so you can have a quick idea on how good it was.
Can you guys check it out and let me know what you think? I have only a few weeks to polish it up, so I'd like to hear how I could make it better and of course any bugs you find with it.
Search for 'Red Sulfur' or 'Pick My Bracket' in the market.
Check out redsulfur.com/pickmybracket for a FAQ and more info.

Has anybody had a chance to try this? And comments / suggestions / bug reports are welcome.

I think it looks pretty cool. Maybe try and add the Women's tourney too?
Also once you make your picks, any way to load them into yahoo/espn/cbs would be cool.

Thanks for checking it out. I agree, it would be cool if I could auto upload the bracket to those websites. I just don't think that's offered as an option. The Pro version has the option to email it to yourself which makes it easier to enter it into an online pool.
Also... I've thought about adding the women's bracket but just don't know if there is any interest in that.

[APP]BMX Mobile Moto Control

apparently 0 BMX'ers here, lol, either way, i created another simple BMX related app. Mobile Moto Control will record your moto number and gates for the race day. Moto's are the race you're in, gates are the lanes you start from in each race. It's just a way to record it, then you can quickly check your moto and gates in the pit before heading up to staging.
used app inventor to create it, so it's not a very complex app.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18137302/MobileMotoControl.apk
even if you don't race BMX (which i don't think there's anyone else here that does, lol), check it out. for sampling, motos can be any number from 1-300. gates can be any number from 1-10. you race the same moto (moto number) 3 times, each time from a different gate.
here's a video sample of this app and my gearcalc app

always funny to look back at the old skool bmx stuff.

Ill check out the vid when i get home. Raced in so cal, lake perris, coal canyon, been to a bunch of nationals and gold cups. I got some vhs-c i need an adaptor for.

WOW. Just the apk alone brings back memories of Greg Hill, Stu Thompson, Eric Roupe, Dave Mira, Pistol Pete, ect. Used to race in the 80's as well in Illinois. Had a Redline 500a. Also ran in the ABA circuit. To bad we didn't have smart phones back then, could have used this apk many times. Since then all the local tracks have closed up. It's a shame because it kept alot of kids occupied. Kudoos on the apk.

i'm actually changing it so you can track 5 people (since it's me and my 3 kids). so that would work for multi-class race days as well.
i forget who it was that remade helltrack, but i think it's in mass. i can't completely remember, i saw it a few years ago on the vintagebmx forums.

[Game] Parallel Kingdom [MMORG] 1,000,000+ players [FREE]

Say Hello to a new World.
There are few games on mobile that are insanely addictive. Parallel Kingdom AOT, is by far the most intriguing one I have come across. PK comes across as a MMORG, which uses the GPS on your phone to place you in your actual location in game.
The game starts you off as an explorer beginning his/her journey. As you continue your adventure, you level up, get upgraded weapons and armor, and slay monsters day in day out. You constantly play alongside other players, from throughout the world, teaming with them to form kingdoms, cities and alliances.
Parallel Kingdom uses Google Maps as the background, and makes use of GPS satellites to place you in your real life location. New updates including the satellite map feature lead to you actually getting the sense that you are enjoying a high seas adventure with your mates, or leading an expedition through the Sahara desert, or struggling through the Amazon forest, slaying any monsters that come you way.
The great thing about PK is that you continue in the same place you leave. So you don’t have to worry about getting back to where you log off. Perblue devs have managed to create an amazing game through almost a 3-year period.
PK is available on both Android and iOS.The game has reached the 1,000,000 player mark and is spreading fast. The game is a nice change from Angry Birds, and maybe a step away from it and possibly all other games. Don't blame me if you end up becoming a PK addict.

Hello new world......you got WoW por la me?

Seriously try this, this is an epic game. Not the 3-d graphics etc you would normally want from a mobile RPG. However, this is really an exceptional game, and it runs very smoothly, plus its easy to adapt to and very hard to get away from it.

Thanks for the tip, gonna have to try this out now!

Bump, people message me in game, my name's 'democrats', il try to help you out.

hey... Helloooo new world

no thanks.

I believe you're overreacting.
The developers likely use SMS for the in-game chat. Thus why the permission is needed.

The game uses food as a currency. Food can be bought with real cash, dollars pounds etc. One of the payment methods which can be used is Zong. Zong uses messages to get u food, I am not sure about the entire procedure but thats the basics. If you wish to buy food you are directed to a message which if you send gets you the amount of food you want to buy.
This was brought up on the PK forums as well.

hey... Helloooo new world

I sent out messages to all the people who started playing, just send me a if you need any help at all.

Front page?
This game has been out for years, you advertise it on the forum along with your referral code and it gets on the front page? Did you make the game?

I am not one of the devs. However, people at XDA looking for intuitive, exciting, and enjoyable content, and PK, is that. So it was'nt a surprise that this ended up on the front page.
It was maybe lost on the XDA forums, because when I checked for other threads about PK, there were a couple from two years ago.
This is a brilliant game and it deserves to be highlighted on the front page regardless of the day it was launched.

DB - Its people like you that are making XDA what it is now, D-Bags like you....
As far as OP goes, I love this game been playing for a few months too......It's very addicting and constant changes and improvements to gameplay and strategy. The Devs are great at listening to the users and giving them what they want. One of the best parts about this game is it's multi-platform so you are playing with IPhone players as well so the vast amount of people playing is ridiculousness. I got the same name on the game as here so look me up.

LOL! D-Bags made XDA the efficent dev forum we know and love? And I'm one of those d-bags? Oh, I feel special.
As for pk, I played it about 2 years ago, lasted an entire month and a half with me playing seldomly. I'm no longer an active player, but it was a great time waster when there's nothing else to do.

Thats pretty neat

interesting...

Two years ago this game was more or like in its initial stages, but now it's been under developed for quite some time and has improved a lot.
I suggest that you give it another shot, you might get hooked on to it now.

[GAME][BETA]ScanDroid Kingdoms-Barcode Scanning RPG (10/24/2012)

I am looking for people to help with the testing and creative development of a game I am working on.
I am REMAKING a game I had on the market last fall. Its still called ScanDroid, at least for now.
The theme of the game has changed, and there are a lot more features being worked on this time around.
I am making it from scratch this time, which is making for a faster process and cleaner code.
Here's the game in a nutshell:
RPG Fantasy Theme
Scan Barcodes to collect items, bonuses, and exp, and to battle NPCs
Battle NPC Barcodes
Battle Online(soon to be implemented)
Share QR code of character for others to battle locally(soon to be implemented)
Gain items, level up, and use an item shop
Anything other the creative testers can help me get an idea to add in.
It is a text based pocket scanner Pokemon style online barcode scanning game.
Everyone who i had try the last version of it loved it, but due to my limited ability at that time and the holidays the game eventually lost steam and fell apart. I have received a lot of feedback and am much more capable now of delivering a fuller more entertaining experience.
I need people who are COMMITTED to:
Test out each release, on a daily to bi-daily basis
Give good feedback that can be used to fix and improve the game
have ideas to help make it better
willing to use google plus messenger to join our beta huddle, and actively participate.
Please, reply to this with your google+ email address, or PM me.
I had about 40 ppl who wanted to beta test last time around,and all but 6 fell through on activiely participating.
I appreciate ANY help I can get.
Here is the Facebook Page Link. This will be the best way for you to let me know you want to be a tester/helper!!!!!!!!!
THANKS!

bump & reserve......

I'd like to test it for you, i'm an avid RPG fan and currently playing a lot of Galaxy on Fire 2

I'd like to be in the beta too. Seems interesting.
Also, a feature that uses GPS as "Zombies, RUN!" would be great (say, you go out from your home and scan codes in the supermarket for example, or battle random monsters after X meters from your "den", or collect items after walking X meters, and such).
The thing is, you should focus on the things that make "Zombies, Run!" awesome and try to replicate them.
I'm PMing you my google acc.

A Location Based Aspect could be interesting. We will definitely have to try and toy with it, see in what ways it can benefit the game.

[Help] What Happened to Link?

Link, you know the green fairy boy of legend? The Hero of Time, and the wielder of the Bane of Evil. If not Click Here. So I'm having this debate, it's been a debate I've had for the past 5 years or so. What happened to link after the Ocarina of Time? He beats Gannon, and Navi leaves him. Link then sets out on a quest to find his only true friend. [Warning this is my POV from lots of Googles] After link leaves Hyrule, he decides to find Navi in the only place that would make sense, the Lost Woods. Link not being a Kokiri, or having a fairy can't find his way in the woods. Legend has it that Kids, and Adults who venture into the woods turn into either Skull Kids. Or they turn into those Skeleton Knights. Now this is the most accepted tid bit of information. Here is my weird theory.
After going into the Lost Woods, link spends for ever aimlessly wondering the woods, looking for Navi. After being lost for what feels like years. He comes across the Skull Kid. The skull kid hits Link over the head, causing him to die (This is also symbolic of life setting in. He's a Skull Kid, but has no clue of it) . But link is sent into purgatory, having no clue he is dead. That's when he chases Skull Kid into the cave. Upon reaching the cave, he falls. Seeing images from his past, present, and future. This is kinda like his soul being decoded in order to make his purgatory. So he is later cursed, and changed into a Deku. Why? That's him being able to relive his life as a week, defenseless "Child". Since he was pretty much reborn, he's given the one thing he's spent his whole life looking for. A fairy, but it's not his tho. So the story progresses, and he meets the mask salesman. He's kinda like that guy in American Dad who gives you IceCream right before he says your dead. But it being link, he wants a flipping quest. So he has to venture and find Skull Kid in order to become human. In Order to find Navi. Navi can be seen as his "heaven" if you would. He needs to do one final quest get the peace he's wanted. So as he leaves the building, you see almost all the characters in the town are from Hyrule. It's the only thing he knows, the people of Hyrule. All the lives he's saved, he needs to save again to find eternal peace. So that's it, for the weird theory. Here's side info to make more sense of this.
The Goron is a representation of being a powerful leader, and his connection to Sarah.
The Zora is him as a teen, falling in love. His guitar is Navi/Quest that he choice over Zelda.
The game has a darker feeling in it. It's link being able to live real life, and not just battling evil. He helps to lovers get together, he dances. He makes deeper relationships with characters, and has a chance to live a normal life. Once he helps out all the people, and obtains the mask (makers proving he lived his life). He can battle the Skull Kid, and can also receive the Fierce Deity's Mask once you get all the mask. A part I find weird is that the kid wearing the Evil mask is giving you this tool. The ultimate mask that makes you a full blown adult, with god like powers. This can be seen as link doing everything possible live his life. Now he has the power to defeat the mask, and go to his "heaven".
Once Skull Kid is free, and you saved the world. Your off to venture for Navi. The one thing you've always wanted to do. The one thing that made you feel alive again. I feel like link is stuck in this purgatory trying yo find his only friend. Refusing the fact that he's finally dead, and free to go away.
Any Ideas?

Haha whoaa.. did not see it like that.. makes sense. Wish I had some input to contribute :sly:
