Before I install in it on my Zen.. is this programmed for Firmware 1.10 or 1.12 ?

Looking at the code I would guess 1.10.. but I'm asking to be sure, and also for others to know beforehand.

A screenshot would be nice Isquish And also, in future could you please [if possible] upload games/apps in a .zip archive? It seems to be the norm around here now...

Some commands for the accelerometer have changed in 1.12, so if it is made for 1.10 it may not work on the 1.12 firmware.
Though I payed it on my device... And I should have 1.12 firmware.
Are you sure it's made for 1.10?

Also, the character can go outside the screen on the bottom and left. You need to set the limit for maxX and maxY + the char width and height.

Also, have you seen the images I posted for your balls in the other thread?

I thought the difference was that this was for 1.10:

accelerometer.open() os.sleep(10)
if (accelerometer.set_datatype) then
accelerometer.set_datatype("all")
else
accelerometer.set_senddatatype("all")
end
accelerometer.set_samplerate(100)

and crashes 1.12 because you can't do the "if" part anymore..
So now with 1.12 this should work: (and does work on my Zen)

accelerometer.open() os.sleep(10)
accelerometer.set_datatype("all")
accelerometer.set_samplerate(100)

But now I'm not sure anymore

This game become greate every upgrade.
I noticed 2 bugs this time:
When you play,the 1st time,its ok.The you got out the application,then you go back to it and ther'es a bug...
Sometime,when you start the application,the game start alone at the 1st level (smileys)...
You should do one thing.when we press the "home",it would be good to go to the menu,and not "out" the application.
Great anyway!

Nice. It's got a few clipping errors where you can get it with for example the spaceship without losing, you should check the limitations and such.

Also, you don't need to have such a "flashy" thread name, it's just distracting from what's important.

When you feel that this app is past the beta stage and should be moved to finished games, please write it in the first post or post about it and one of us mods will move it, so you don't create a duplicate in the finished games section.

hmmm.... i thought i fixed the bug, ill have another look at it. and ill try to make it go back to the menu instead of exit(shouldn't be to hard)

habhome: do you mean by clippings that when you are touching a planet as a rocket it does nothing and if so which one of them, thanks




it would help alot if someone came up with a good name for the game, im thinking ballmania (but it still isnt that great a name)

Hi!
The 0.88 version is great! It's going to be one of the best games...
I noticed some bugs.
Sometime,the little man stay at the hight/left corner of the screen and don't move at all.
sometime,when we start the application,it goes directly to the end screen:"made by laurence"...
and once,when I loose,it took me out of the appilcation.
I think the 3 choice for the game(Free,Ground...) are great!Good job!!!

The bottom of the rocket can pass through a planet with a few pixels. I'm not sure what size planet it was though when it happened. It was the earth one anyway.

ok, ive resized the image, hopefully it works better now. or i could be just the delay from the proccessor

Do you have any ideas for modes or themes

[Habhome]

My next suggestion would rather be for you to experiment with animations, so the fireballs for example look like they're blazing at least a bit and so.

animations :/
could prove very tricky because im not really the arty type.
If i pull it of though it will look epic.
So wish me luck

[mustomax]

It works very well now...
theme:
a plane,with horizontal missils...

that would be cool, but i think a helicopter would be better because i wouldn't have to change the hit tests


as for the animation, my attempts have been (how can i put this) unsuccesful, do you think you could help out and animate them habhome or mustomax.

Since i am also working on my top secret uber-special feature. Which will be released when a get the animation and polish it of.

[mustomax]

Helicopter would be cool...
for the animation,I am not able to do it... Sorry...
