Summary

It's not easy to create a good game for Pebble that's actually easy to control. Just a very few made this right. But there is a pretty popular game genre that ought to be comfortable and fun to play on your wrist! Yes, it's a drag racing :). Three buttons are just about right for this kind of game. Also, there's gonna be a zero BS factor. No waiting for gas, no double currency. Just a fair game designed to be fun.

Target platform

This game should be Pebble only. No companion app (for now), no JavaScript screens. So iPhone users are more than welcome to play along since the very first beta :).

The challenge

I've already made some apps for Pebble. But none of them was multi-screen, and definitely none of them used real-time graphics. It's the challenge to make this happen, and balance the gameplay just right.

The extra challenge

Due to my huge work load, I only have 4 days to make it. Just two weekends and that's it. Can I make it?

The trinkets

I have decided to uncover the game info as I progress. So feel free to come back once in a while :).

Day 1 Update

I lost some time preparing graphics and recalling all the C knowledge I've already lost :)). However, I have finished most of the screens, and some are in late work-in-progress stage (not pictured below). Also, most of the data structures are already finished.

Day 2 Update (retrospective of 18th August 2014 that I forgot to post)

OK. All the screens are done, controls are ready, basic physics is implemented, backlight control is safe and working. There I give you one new screenshot of the garage, and the wireframes above are complete now.

Day 3 Update

Okay guys! I'm glad to inform you, that the game is basically complete :). I'm racing, I'm upgrading car, beating opponents and my own highscore, an the lanscape goes by fast as hell :). I have added race progress indicator as well. I've also been doing some basic difficulty balancing, but the main testing phase comes tommorow. If everything goes well, first version can go public :). New screens below are from actual game, no mockups anymore.

Day 4 Update

Good news, everyone! I have finished my extra challenge, and due to the lack of time, I was able to finish the game to complete all my quality standards within 4 days only! These have been really long days, but the game is done and it is great. I will keep playing to balance the difficulty just right, and release the game to the public during next week. I'm already really excited to see your feedback :).
[Pebble] Johny_G:
Okay guys, I'm ready to release this :). Have fun!

Not a big fan of gaming on Pebble, but I quite enjoyed this one! :good:
[Pebble] Johny_G:
Thank you very much :).
[Pebble] mcongrove:
I know that we're competition and all, but this is really cool :good:
[Pebble] mcongrove:
Is it just me, or is there a bit of a cheat when it comes to nitro? When I first started playing my nitro was lacking compared to the AI, and one time I didn't use the nitro. It seemed like, because I didn't, the AI didn't either. The next race I used the nitro, and as soon as I did the AI used the boost and sped past.

It doesn't always work, but often enough to notice. And to use it to my advantage :)
[Pebble] Johny_G:
No no, your opponent will always use the nitro. But when his car gets generated, he might get so little of it, that's barely noticable :). Or he gets much higher acceleration and uses it so soon that you are still paying attention to your own gearing :).
[Pebble] mcongrove:
Perhaps it's that he uses the nitro sooner than me. But I also noticed something else a little odd. Start the race, and don't shift up. The AI car stays with you for a good while; if you start shifting up only to keep him in view, you'll notice that he finishes around the 26 second mark (or so). Normally they finish right behind me in the sub-20 second range. Without shifting I'm still ahead at the 10 second mark.
[Pebble] Johny_G:
I went through my boilerplate code, and it seems that it's not really possible. The opponent's time is never disclosed anyway, so it might be just optical illusion. The two cars are pushed together (a lot!) for rendering purposes, so you always see the relative position to your opponent :). If it goes out of screen, it's probably waaaay in front of you already.
[Pebble] Johny_G:
As you might already know - Drag Racing is one of the competition winners. Thank you all very much for your support! As the game is becoming kinda popular, I have released version 1.1 just now. Pebble firmware 2.5 is required to update.

Hello everyone...

Well... some days ago I installed link2sd and swapper2 on my i8190L, with the usual partitions in the sd (FAT32 / Ext4 / Linux Swap), after format those partitions i tried use swapper2, but everytime it started... many errors appeared, then I decided uninstall it and just use link2sd...

When I opened link2sd, the boot script for the partition Ext4 got installed, and a pop-up recommend me restart the cellphone, i did it.

After that, the cellphone don't start correctly, normal-boot get freeze with a weird screen like in the following thread

(http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-mini/help/pit-partition-odin-t2802252), same thing happend when I try get access to the recovery menu, and just sometimes i can access to the download mode (90% of times appear the weird screen).

Yesterday a friend tried of fix it using Odin3 v3.07, but everytime he tried of install the OS or recovery an error show up... "There is not PIT partition.", we tried of fix it rebuilding it, but ironically that error show up again.

Someone know how fix it? :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] og.blaah:
Ok so here is the issue. I have 2 phones (Note3 on Tmobile, and Samsung Rugby Smart...workphone on AT&T). My fiancè has an iPhone on AT&T and she rarely recieves my calls and texts. I thought at first it was the iPhone...but it seems like it is my Note. We did a test...i sent a text from the note and rugby, the rugby went through, note did not. Same thing with calls....I ended up doing a warranty exchange with Tmobile (not very happy about that..since they sent me a re-manufactured device), and this is still happening.

Any thoughts...suggestions...?

Thanks in advance.

(P.s.....i am not routed, iphone not jailbroken)

:confused:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ttabbal:
Sounds more like a network or interoperability issue. I test iPhone users without issues. Not sure which carrier they are on though.

Try turning off wifi. I have seen posts about issues with wifi and sms/mms. I've never had a problem, but might as well try. Also try texting from the note to your work phone, and back. Are you using the stock messaging app or a third party one? Try stock.

Another option is using the sim from your work phone. You will need Tmobile to give you an unlock code. If you explain what you are doing, I think they will give you one. Or try an att prepaid sim if your work phone uses a different size.

It sounds more like a Tmobile to att network problem to me... But that can narrow it down. Try disabling LTE for testing. I wonder if VoLTE is part of it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] og.blaah:
My wifi is off....since we have unlimited data, and stock messaging app.The sim cards are not swappable. The Rugby is OLD....Its on Gingerbread..lol and it had a regular sim, not micro. These problems were before VoLte. She does not have rhe iphone cloud texting app setting activated either. I do appreciate your suggestions! Thank you.

I have tried everything....been to both Tmobile and Apple/At&T stores, troubleshot networks, master reset both phones.......

Just all out of ideas.

I have pda2k... and it broke the display... i only see a white light with some cracks.

I've used Remote Display Control For Pocket PC (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wce/downloads/ppctoys.mspx) in the past, to view and use my pda thru the Desktop computer. Now that I can't use the screen of my pda, i need to access it thru Remote Display software (or similar) the problem is that the program doesn't start right away, it needs some stylus clicks to choose connetion info , Host name and stuff(I use it all on default), since i cant see nothing on screen, I can start the aplication (put it on start up) but can't seem to connect 'cause i dont know here to click with the stylus, ou what keys to press on the pad.

Question: is it possible that one of you could tweak the Remote Desktop aplication to connect right away with no key/styluspress need?

It would save my life/data :)

May Thanks in advance!!!

Worst case you can use the remote tools that come with visual studio or evc. This doesn't require any clicks, but only gives you static screenshots - but requires no installation on the remote device...

Once you can see the screen, install a proper remote control app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulo21:
Hi,

Searching on pan.baidu.com I found a Kitkat ROM for Ainol Novo8 Mini which uses ATM7021, 512MB RAM and 8GB storage.

This ROM may not work on tablets made before June 2014, that is because Ainol changed the LCD display on all Novo8 minis shipped beginning June.

The ROMs are not officially supported by Ainol, they are made for tablets sold on Burma( now Myanmar), Pakistan and TR,which I guess would be Turkey.

I own a Novo8 Mini(ATM7021, RAM 512MB and storage of 8GB). I flashed the newest one atm7021a_tag0411_ainol8_mini_Burma_demo_20140724.rar using the PAD Tool.

The trick is to deselect the Vendor partition to avoid crapware. Then I rooted using www.shuame.com/en/root/.

Caveat:

I found just one little bug, after flashing the ROM I noticed a minor problem, half of the screen is a little red. Nothing to bother, taking in account all others benefits and improvements.

In fact after flashing I noticed an improvement in speed, responsiveness and battery savings.

This redish appears in the right half of the screen exactly dividing it at half. It is only noticeable on dark colors.

As I am still newbie enough to know how to solve this bug, I would appreciate any idea how to.

ROM for tablets shipped beginning on June 2014:

I haven't been on XDA for a bit. I just purchased the shield tablet and decided to see what the people here had to say about it and how happy they were with their tablets. I was very surprised to find that there was not a specific section for the shield tablet. Not only did it not have its own section, it doesn't even have its own subsection in the game consoles and handhelds section. Seriously? Everyone and their brother that has even heard of this device knows that it is first and foremost a tablet. it does everything a tablet is supposed to do. so why doesn't it have its own section like the lg g pad or the galaxy tab s? most if not all of the other tabs could add a controller and call it a gaming device. I think its silly not to have a dedicated section for this device and I hope it gets taken care of soon.

I am waiting patiently for the 32gb version to be released hopefully all the issues will be resolved or revised if not at least the low storage won't be the reason to not keeping it

This is and will be the most powerful tablet of 2015 why because everyone is jumping to the Super high resolution wagon not realizing it's not necessary and that makes no sense other than competing with other companies I am glad Nvidia pick this resolution and aspect ratio because the shield is easy to use and media looks perfect on it

At the same time I am bummed out they didn't developed an attachment controller to make this the perfect gaming device wii u game pad and vita killer but at least other companies are working on that and ipega already have one out hopefully is good to make the shield a perfect experience
