Working on the update!

Hey all and thanks again for all the feedback!

Some features and comments:

1. Multiple lives is working flawlessly, now I just need to make a nice graphic to show how much souls are left.

2. I'll make a clearer tutorial with reference to where the buttons actually are on the game screen

3. Obstacles are 100% random at the moment, which does make some iterations trickier than others. With careful planning every obstacle combo is passable - but I'll try and think of a better implementation when I get the chance (scripted starting sequence might work, but it will also make the game even more repetitive for the first 20-30 seconds...).

4. Back button doesn't exit the game! it goes to the menu, but if you hit 'start' again you're in the same spot in the game, and the game is paused. Perhaps I need to change the wording on that button to 'resume' if we're mid-game.

5) @SterAllures - Game is written in simple java using the android SDK, nothing special, simple canvas drawing at the moment.

6) Bashing is indeed a great idea. I'll try and see when I can squeeze it in, unfortunately it won't be in the next version, not enough time to make it work, but hopefully at a later version. What I had in mind is super-fist mode (or something like that), where you can't jump and roll - instead you need to hit either button to 'tackle' the obstacle at the right timing to make it go away. This will be triggered by a special bonus, of course - any thoughts??

7) @Number22 - When you hit roll in mid air the game sorta 'launches' forward, that's part of the thrill :p

Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll publish version 1.1 which will contain:

1. Mute button in the menu.

2. Game will automatically startup muted if phone is silenced.

3. Easier mode that starts way slower than current mode. Separate high scores for each difficulty of course.

4. Lives - get ready to break your own best record since you will get 2 or 3 tries instead of one ;)

Again, thank you very much for the support!
[Android Apps and Games] Number22:
Oh, you got me wrong :P I wasn't talking about the lunging. This is more similar to teleporting, meaning the game just skipped about 1/4 of the screen forward (while I was normally on the ground).

And have you perhaps thought about moving the controls a little bit inward? The way they are positioned so close to the edges feels kinda akward for my thumbs :S

Anyways, this is an impressive piece of work! Did you do this by yourself or..?
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
I noticed that behaviour sometimes when the game starts and the Ad is getting refreshed - the cpu is 'busy' for half a seconds which results in a few frame skips (which in turn seems lilke teleportaion).

This also happens when something heavy in the background takes place, i.e. a cpu-intense gadget update, things like that... don't think I'll be able to do anything about that though, maybe in the future.

I did the all the programming and the graphics myself. Another person did most of the concept and game play design and a lot of QA. Plus 2-3 more guys who played a lot (probably way too much for their health) to test things out and found bugs/gave input etc.
[Android Apps and Games] veljkocar:
I would like to see slow speed increase over time. It gets boring running at same speed all the time...
[Android Apps and Games] :
FC on my Desire with Oxygen 2.0 rc 5 at the loading screen.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
@veljkocar - Speed does increase over time, perhaps I should accelerate the rate.

@edisso10018 - This game works flawlessly on a standard desire - so far I had 2 crash reports out of over 3000 thousands download.

I can only assume the Rom you have installed has a decreased heap size from the defaults. This simply means my app has less memory to work with, and so it crashes when trying to preload the hi-res bitmaps on startup...

Can you report back to me what's the heap size in your phone?

____________________

Oh wait this is an RC version of Ginger... the crash can be any number of things.

Heap size is still a prime candidate but I haven't tested this game on an actual phone with 2.3 so it might be something else...
[Android Apps and Games] worshishen:
lots of my games don't work in oxygen RC5 i think its the problem with its drivers

anyway its a addictive games but i think it would be nice if you can pick up lives and powerups along the way and you need a scary background music :D:D maybe a scream when you die or something ;) gameplay wise i think its not that hard kinda reminds me of speedx 3d its not that hard when you get used to it.
[Android Apps and Games] myshu:
i can't download it on my galaxy 5 2.2 . it's not in the market for me
[Android Apps and Games] isaac970:
Game is great I liked it. Maybe you should add a little more to the graphics and maybe add more enemies. Overall its a ok game right now but I believe it has potential

[Android Apps and Games] gravewormx:
Just tried it out. Seems to be running pretty smooth on my Samsung Captivate (phoenix reloaded ROM). Haven't found a bugs on it, but I haven't played it for long enough...

Seems awesome for first release.

Thanks.

P.S. please try to keep it free and without ads...
[Android Apps and Games] Jamin_1:
Too bad, this game doesn't work on my device :(

I'm usingen Gingerbread Oxygen on a HTC Desire.

Will looking forward to you and this game :D
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Not sure why yet but it seems the Oxygen rom just refuses to run the game... Next version will have some optimizations in the memory handling so it might make it, cross your fingers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
Nice game!

I did quit playing as soon as I got to the first two bat's that you have to squeeze between, I don't even want to attempt to get through those.

I think I read another post about those bats too, I would suggest doing something different with them... :confused:

I'm running on a Droid 1 with Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2 and the game runs super smooth, I'm also overclocked at 800Mhz.

Love the music on/off option, keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Guys check out the tutorial - you can just roll under the bats, no need for fancy maneuvers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] drrtydisko:
Fun game just keep dying due to quick gameplay. Would also make game menu look better. Nice start.
[Android Apps and Games] pmhking84:
I hope the main character is in more noticable color.

Such as it is covered with brighter outer layer.
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
Thanks for the tip =]

Although that ring is still pretty high to be able to roll under those bats...

I'll give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] victorfungcy:
this game is too hard.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
I realize game is a bit tricky so I added an easy difficulty that starts with slower speed - 2-3 days and its out...

I see some people complaining about the menu design - Not really sure how to improve it, maybe give some examples for 'right' looking menus from other apps/games so I can tune in on what is considered 'professional looking'?
[Android Apps and Games] SterAllures:
Lol thanks alot for the info! want to start game programming myself but I'm kind of addictive to horror run atm, currently at 12000 score ;p. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] rodeo_calling:
Cool game. My highest score 22540 :-D
[Android Apps and Games] Ashvsaod:
Works great on the Galaxy Tab. Well-done.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Update released to market!

Version 1.1 released :)

Changelog:

* New easier difficulty level

* Lives - 3 chances to get a highscore before game over.

* Improved menu and tutorial

* Memory and graphics optimization and bug fixes.

* Mute now affects menu sound as well.

New version might solve the few crashes that did happen (they were all related to memory, which should work better now).

Tutorial shows exactly where the buttons are, so explanation is clearer.

The menu is a lot better - certainly more professional looking than before, at least in my opinion :P

The easier level is basically just slower, but it does still accelerate so it won't be too easy after a minute or two - Separate highscores saved for each difficulty.

And of course, 3 lives - Highscores should be much higher now ;)

The game will save the mute status and the last difficulty played when quitting, so you don't have to choose 'hard' every time you play etc...

Let me know what you think :)
[Android Apps and Games] iynfynity:
the game is good. nice job! but it's really hard, though i haven't updated it the app to version 1.1
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
In the new version you have a slower game speed to try and also extra lives, so you don't lose too fast - should take care of the 'really hard' thing :)
[Android Apps and Games] iynfynity:
the version 1.1 have that options.

Okay i played the version 1.1 with easy, yeah it's easier but i still sucks. Now the problem is not the game, it's me. lol nice game anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] rodeo_calling:
Been playing it for a couple of days now. Good game :-). One question though, on what basis does the speed increase, the score or the time spent/distance covered?

The hard mode in the new version gets too fast too soon and the easy mode starts too slow. Maybe a medium?

Anyway thanks for the game guys :-D
[Android Apps and Games] worshishen:
I think a high score based game having three lives is werid it doesn't make me feel better having three lives. lives system should only be implemented on level based games. nice job on the menu though looks really well done maybe you should make horror run 2 where the poor damsel has a chance to escape :) and make the game level based
[Android Apps and Games] IronJade:
The functionality of the game is good, the jump+roll is a bit much, it launches you so far forward so fast that you cant see upcoming obstacles.

Maybe a high score network to compete?
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
We really want to incorporate a global highscore system, but we can't do it anytime soon - Exams, work etc :/

But we will do it, eventually - Any recommendations?

So far we've looked at OpenFeint as a good option - will allow us to add achievements too (say 'get 15,000 points without taking a single bonus/taking all bonuses etc..).
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Since lots of people didn't like the lives thingy (while plenty of others loves it very much) we added a third difficulty level while balancing the existing one a bit better (in our opinion..).

Changes as follows:

1) Easy level is a bit slower, and no bats present...

2) Medium is now what was hard in 1.1 - but with only 2 lives, and a tad slower. Your old highscore is saved here now.

3) A new hard level introduced - No lives, speed and acceleration similar to what was in version 1.0 - here the hardcore gamers should battle for highscores ;)
[Android Apps and Games] shaab:
Really nice game, but I have lags with the Nexus One Cyanogen 6.1.1.

Game is on SD.
[Android Apps and Games] risahri:
Great game.. and works on G1 and Motorola Milestone
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
New version just hit the market - We finally managed to get some time and implement OpenFeint integration - right now only leaderboards, hopefully later some cool achievements as well.

But life got damn busy lately, I believe that unless some major bugs appear we won't be releasing an update at least until March.

Until then, just make some highscores ;)
[Android Apps and Games] excepter:
Goood

very good game. Graphic is real cool
[Android Apps and Games] die_Leuchte:
Same here with MDJs CNM 7 Gingerbread ROM for HD2, game starts ends with a force close. Moving to phone memory doesn't help here :(
[Android Apps and Games] Number22:
I love the new update, however, is it just me or did the game start to lag often?
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Lags are AdMob requesting for ads - it usually works fine but sometimes for unclear reasons it lags. From our observations it depends on background processes more than anything but we still haven't got anything conclusive on this. Though if it lags now and didn't before than it's probably some other thing installed in the meantime, since nothing really was changed inside the game...

Crashes on ginger are even more weird - out of memory issues that simply don't happen on 2.2/2.1 - Maybe something in the way Bitmaps are handled was changed, which is kinda bad IMO. Same device, same vm heap size, froyo works and ginger crashes on OutOfMemoryException :confused:

So we're looking into it as well...

Hopefully we'll come up with something soon enough.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Other projects prevented us from fixing all the issues so it took a while. BUT HERE WE ARE!

We found the issue with 2.3. It was tested on several 2.3 phones and seems like the issue is fixed. Feint looping with splash screen was fixed too (happened on some devices, mostly 2.3.*).

Also improved performance a bit but I doubt it will be noticable to most of you.

Now new features I'm afraid, but bug fixes were more important and there wasn't enough time...
[Android Apps and Games] gpsuncle:
sweet game

nice one :) can be more dramatic.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjehan:
I am about to do a factory reset as HTC suggested so i want to save all my settings and application before. How do i backup my data ? And is the backup destination the SD card ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
yes the destination is the SD card, and also do you have clockwork mod installed?

If you want to save data, etc, do a backup via CWM,

if you want to save just the apps and data use titanium backup by doing a "Batch Backup"

If you want contacts save them to a SIM
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjehan:
I have a normal unrooted stock Rom. Will the titanium backup work on my phone ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
you need to be rooted to use titanium backup, or at least i think you do to use all the features, i think with you not being rooted i think you could do a full back as it wouldnt modify any program files, just copy them...

download it from the market ad give it a go, if not you can always use POB visionary and do a temp root to back everything up :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eozen81:
May I ask how to back up "linked contacts" ?

I mean once I set up Gmail contacts and link some of them manually with "Facebook for HTC Sense" and "Tweeter for HTC Sense" If I flash a custom rom all linked contacts will be gone I guess, How can I protect them so that I will not bother to link them again?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmall:
I exchanged my Nexus S for a new one. One thing I have noticed so far is that the blacks don't seem AS dark on the new one as they did on the previous one.

For example, pressing menu from the main screen you get that little popup of black options like wallpaper, system etc...

On my previous device these options were very dark black, on the new one they are somewhat transparent yet still black. Hard to explain I guess but it's a noticeable difference between the too.

I'm not totally sure yet but I think the whites are whiter also.

I wonder which of the phones has the intended look... the dark black or the somewhat transparent black.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshga:
wierd.. all the us phones suppose to come with samoled... all the same screen
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
could be your brightness setting, i have a gingerbread theme on my nexus one and on lower brightness the menu looks solid black, but on others you can see that it's transparent. also depends on the background as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjar:
Yup. You'll find the tolerances for the screens to be quite low. I've looked at and handled quite a few NS and the screens have been different on every one of them.

As long as your screen doesn't have a yellow tint whilst auto brightness is enabled, you're good.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I remember reading somewhere that some Nexus S phones will ship with SLCD screens instead.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjar:
Yeh that will be for the Russian and maybe other markets if/when they launch there early next year.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintingkc:
I had to swap out my second NS for the screen. The last one had a real bad yellow tint to it. When put side by side the new one looked great. Typical issues I suppose. Its interesting to have these little issues with the phone when the Galaxy S line as a whole has been solid aside from reports of GPS issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
Have you tried adjusting the brightness level on the display? Menu/Settings/Display
[Off-topic] urbanengine1:
Just realized that i ordered my tablet to early!? The australian dollar is stronger than the us dollar right now, for the first time in 24 years. Its steady with 1 US dollar buying around 98.6 AU cents at time of posting. I could have saved quite a bit ifi had had waited another 2 months.

Basically, what do you guys think the implications of this are and, more importantly, do you think it will last?

Plz post your thoughts.
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
Means the U.S. is going down the toilet.. counter-clockwise.
[Off-topic] altae:
It means nothing except the fact that the us dollar is in a phase of weakness again. Could be good or bad. Whether this will last or not depends on various factors. If I was to risk a prediction I would say the current weakness of the us dollar compared to other currencies (Swiss franc, Australian dollar...) will last for quite a while.

Usually, i use z4root to root my x10. Its very easy and fast

But since yesterday, I messed up my phone and all those apps gone in the menu, but the memory is still there

So i decided to restore with SEUS

i updated to a newer software

after that, z4root no longer working

SuperOneClick v1.5.5 also not working as well

Can anybody tell me any solution or ways to root the phone?

Hi everyone

I have successfully built a new rom 21914 but I'm stuck with adding sense to it.

I've looked everywhere and didn't find any guide how to cook sense to non HTC devices using old kitchen.

Can anyone guide me where to look?
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
hi wafeeq, sorry i cant help you here :( ive been interested in trying to cook my own rom, but dont have to time. i think you could get some advice from miro, he is a expert on these roms!

i look forward to hearing from your releases!
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
+1 good thread first of all mate

+1 Oly, I have been trying myself as well, I have made stock rom myself with few packages added, but couldn't figure out how to do Sense and never got around asking in forums. I hope Miro or Leeston - will reply you on this as they have produced very stable sense roms for TG01. FFboy and Aragon - I don't think cook any more here :(

Also, a 'tutorial' thread by any of these experts will help us too :rolleyes:
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yeh! we could do with alot more roms on our forums! i was thinking of trying a variant of cooking htc sense 2.1+wm6.5 and htc sense 2.1+wm6.5

we havent got any other roms with different versions of sense so i thought i would try. it is much harder than i thought!

sense 2.1 is a very good combination woth our tg01's. i have been ysing the cab version with ffboys 6.1rom, but there are still some bugs. im going to use mamgosoras rom as a base!
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
i think mangosoras rom as a base is way forward - it's SO fast and stable!!

All we need is sense cooked inside it! Either 2.1/2.5. I know it's 6.5.5 but i love the stability!
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yeh! his builds are nice and ready for open cooking. he also has a great 6.1 clean build. i have no experience with cooking sensd though :( im trying to find oem packages for sense 2.1 now.
[TG01 General] mirolg:
hello friends, hello wafeeq,

the best way is download a orginal htc rom (E.g. htc rhodium) from here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/

then extract the exe wit winzip. then you become a .nbh file.

use osKitchen Zero v1.31 to dump the ROM File. now you become all SENSE Packages in "visual- style"

Use TotalFire - Package Converter and convert the packages "VtO"

"visual to old-style"

now you have cook- ready OEM Packages.

thanks miro for offereing help! i gott find soome free time though, before i can start!

i chose sense 2.1 because we havent got any roms based on this, all of them are 2.5

it is also very quick, and gives much better battery. it uses less resources so you have even more ram and is almost exactly the same as 2.5. the only difference is the quick links and a few other stuff. (but you still got the program tab)
