A great fun app idea!

well we most know of the lightsaber app for the diamond right?
if not you can search for it here on the forum.
but anyway, i was watching some bruce lee style skit that was recorded on a cellphone and the both things clicked in my head and i thought up of the same concept as the light saber, where it uses the accelorometer to make the noises of punches and really quick movements! all bruce lee style, now that would be fun to use! im guessing one could use the same coding as the lightsaber just change sounds and interface to something like "Kung-fu-Fighter" for diamond or something.
well im just tossing out the idea, im no programer or coder so i really dont have any idea on how to do this, but the concept i think is great, just as much as the lightsaber app, i think alot of people would like this and want this. thanks in advance if anybody can come up with my idea.
oh and by the way, maybe it could have an option for switching between punch movements and just quick "swooshing" sounds for when your not pretending to hit anything but your moving your arms all crazy hahaha

I freaking love it!

yeeey a kung foooooo diamond..
love the idea

bump, i second that

that would be kickass!!

absolutely love the idea

i really like that
but let's just be real and stop dreaming
look how much ideas we have here in diamond section but no response from developers coz they all are busy developing new appz for iPhone to make the iPhone Owners like thier phones better and to make us feel sorry that we dont have that on our phones
i hate steve jobs with his brand-new (game boy).

ok ok, common, hey we all know that iphone has most of the developers ans such, and im surely jelous of it
but thats no reason to get all sad and negative about it.
thats why by giving ideas, we try to stay ahead of the iphone. atleast this could be one thing that the iphone doesnt have. and that would be one step ahead.
and common, dont hate. its as simple as people buy what they want, or what they need. simple as that, its like hating xbox just because they released halo 3 or something, its just doesnt make sense. we need to stop looking at the stuff we cant do and look at what we can or could do. simple as that.
besides, i was just giving a suggestion to what would be nice to have, thats all.

My brother have an iphone with two apps like this. One of them is called iFight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2SqPsy9ZPY and the other is called Sounds of Fury. It would be nice to see an app like this for the Diamond.

Does someone have the sounds for such an app? I've got the lightsaber source ;-)

[APP] G-Shotgun (Release: April 21 ...)

Hey folks!
Me and Mr. Nick are currently working on the G-Shotgun app, which is the wm equivalent to the iPhone app "Shotgun Free".
All credit for programming goes to Mr. Nick, many thanks!
I'm very happy to announce that our problem is solved and G-shotgun will be released today!
Suggestions about the graphics or future functions are still more than welcome! The app doesn't have to be exactly like the iPhone version does it?

there's something similar on pccgeeks (last post on page 2), but it's not so good (ugly graphics and some work to do on sensor as well). But maybe you can cohoperate with mike to release a good app

Cool, this beats the beer drinking g-sensor app any day.

Thanks guys, but ...
Would not call the graphics ugly ... squished up a bit, but not ugly - It is a real shotgun! taken from Google images. :S - It was however the only one I could find that looked good on the small screen.
By all means if there is a better graphic, including animated pump action, I will use it and re-release!
And .. this was my first sensor app, so the sensor code was twitchy. I have since worked out better code and when I get time (the next week or so) I will re-code and release the new version.
Mike.

yes mike, you're right: with "ugly" i meant the image is not displayed as it should. That's why, seeing Shoddy shout, i thought you can work together to release a great app

sounds good to me.
I have a couple of questions though..
is your app currently working as the "Shotgun Free" app? if not, could you add the features from shotgun free to your code? Because my graphics are almost (it's supposed to) the same as that app.
and.. would you mind changing the name to "G-Shotgun"? I think it sounds better than "Virtual Shotgun" or what it is you call it.

guys, i hope you'll consider also a wvga version for us poor HD users

[Q] Crazy 3D Game

I just saw a peer of mine play this game on his samsung wave at uni called AR DEFENDER.
Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k56ZtfZYG7E&feature=player_embedded
Do any of you happen to know something similar for Android platform?

TT SICK><. Hope android have it. i don't mind paying for it

great game.
on the website is says
symbian,iphone nintendo dsi comming soon,nothing about android
http://www.augmentedplanet.com/tag/android/

Lol damn it. It's a pretty nifty idea though.

interesting indeed

idk if this will come to fruition, but it appears that mattel may be working on something
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXtq1qBMLIw&feature=player_embedded

Still nothing on ARdefender for Android? Would love this game!

So kool.
Sent from my rooted android over9000 x10i using swype on the xda app.

Pretty cool. But even if it did come to Android you could be sure that it would require more then 2.1,,, let alone 1.6!
I read something about a clue style (who done it) game in the works using google maps and/or layers that is multi player.

Take a look at this...

ROM Graphics Designer

Hey everyone....To those of you who haven't seen my work I'm still very new to this game but loving it!! I'm offering my services to anyone who'd like something new design wise....I'm about to start looking at icons so don't ask for those just yet haha.....I've done both splash screens and boot anims for SCI Miui and BlackICE if you're interested in some of my stuff you can see it there ....
I can also do signature banners if they're wanted...
I'm not promising anything much, or saying I'm the daddy but hopefully you all like what I do...
And fingers crossed I'll only get better at it....only been using photoshop for about a week and trying in vein to learn blender....I've been using solidworks and photoshop mostly and it seems to be going well .....
here's a couple of images of stuff i've done.....
splash1 by jameslrsmith, on Flickr
splash1 by jameslrsmith, on Flickr
SolidIce v5 by jameslrsmith, on Flickr

I'd like to add that I don't steal images on my spash screens or boot anims....it's all my own 3D modelling and renders

I like the cogs. (The top picture)

Love your work on BlackIce, James. Really slick. Project X are pretty lucky that you've taken an interest in their ROM.

Thanks very much
It's been good fun doing it really....Just a shame I don't know more about ROM development or I'd do my own

Ah, looks like you're well and truly cooked into the ICETool now, duder! Nice boot.

WoW! Multi-tasking browser?? Link!

WoW!!!
How good does this look?
Only prob is it is not a free app, and probably rightly so as I have never seen an android browser do this before!
If anyone gets it, post review here.
Enjoy

ok i had to try this.. works great. I cant wait until all apps can work in a window like this.. Im guessing its using the widget resize technology.
Thanks for the heads up.

Here is score and a few things it did not do so well on. Looks like its good for basic browsing.
Hope this is helpful
I am running on Vache rom with the acer rings wifi patch and 3.01 patch.

This is pretty darn sweet. Thanks for the find MJ-12, and thanks ER for the screenshots. Worth double the price.

Your very welcome I have been using it all day.
Its kinda a taste to what I think android will become. The same Dev has a few other floating. Apps. Like a calculator.

definitely cool enough to drop a buck and a half on. I played with it for a few minutes and then moved on but when the time comes and I need a couple browsers at the ready Ive got an app for that!

If any developers are interested in how he's doing it, he's registering the app as a service and drawing to the notification layer which also allows you to intercept (and act upon) touch events.
Not saying this app is doing it, but beware of apps that request those permissions, they could in theory log every touch on your screen.

Chrome Beta does much better

Chrome beta scores 350 approx already... guess they might add such feature in the future

That is pretty slick. They have a calculator that does the same thing too. True multitasking here we come!

Just tried it, works great, thanks for sharing!

had this since i read about it on...... where was it, phandroid or android central, one of the two.
definetly worth the money. don't use it that much but its really nice when i do.
tip: leave browser defaults unchecked, so your tab prompts you to choose a browser and you can choose overskreen. its like window's "open link in new window"
