Cast your minds back to the late 80s and early 90s when everybody had an Amiga or Atari. Do you remember the 'demos' that were doing the rounds to show off the latest and greatest hardare?
Often these would be a small program, cramming in huge amount of graphics and music (and endless credits!) to test the latest machines and impress your mates.
Is there something similar to show off the capabilities of the TyTN or other WM5 devices? I'd like to know what this baby can do! I was suitably impressed with the display put on by GXMark, albeit for a few seconds and with no sound.
Anyone fancy writing such a demo?

WOW.. I'm impressed GXMark. It seems that PPCs can do what iPhone does . . matter of time when someone write some cool eye candy for PPCs. The hardware is well able to support it.

Surely someone other than the makers of GXmark must have done something similar? What about graphics in games - if nobody is aware of any 'demos', can anyone point me in the direction of a game that will impress?
Yeah, I remember as if it where yesterday... I used to collect the best demos for the Amiga and Commodore 64... Phew, those where the days...
I would love to see some demos for the Pocket PC platform alright...
I remember having a couple of demos for my old SonyEricsson P800 smartphone, so why nobody has come up with some ARM based demos???
Here's hoping...
Peace!

The C64 was the best!
I remember the amazing graphical showcases on the front of Commodore Format back in the good old days. If you stood around 10-15 foot away from the screen, you could just about make out the mono bitmap of Cat from Red Dwarf (How'm I lookin? I'm looking good!).
I would love to see a program to show off my PPC too. The best thing I've found for impressing my mates is Tomb Raider, but that's getting on a bit now. Virtual Pool is quite tasty too. Although I'm sure the Tytn could do better!

Well, I'd say there're MUCH better demos out there (not to mention SE doesn't have a demo). Check out the link provided above - even the two oldest (year 2002) titles are FAR better than any games.
(Also note that MilkyTracker isn't a demo but a tracker. I've just pubslished an article on it; search the General forum for it.)

I looked at the top 3 most popular ones.. 1st one aren't that impressive.. the 2nd one not working.. 3rd one is not even 3D.
Pouet demos
I liked Spirit, retroficial and limbo.
Retroficial is alright
Spirit is slow on my Wizard
Didn't try limbo.. I don't like setup.exe
Is it possible that can make screen rotate with animation on Diamond, like Iphone & Omina? It looks so cool!!!
So coool... And totally useless... Come on, why do you want that? Is your social life so miserable that you need a phone with sexy animations to look like a nice person? That's pathetic!
clandestino.
I must say that if your going to choose a good looking phone like the diamond then whats wrong with having good looking animations. If your not bothered what your phone looks like then you dont really need the diamond.
Dont be nasty just because your in a bad mood

Nah yesterday was just his anniversary for not getting laid in [insert random period of years].
just because someone doesn't find the use in a feature doesn't mean everyone else has to be without it.
If you're not ending this attitude conversation, I will! Back to topic!
I really can't believe nobody things that this should be a must on the Diamond having a delay when it rotates.

Those are very nice , you can't say the iphone animations suck, because the Apple OS can handle them, WM sucks so hard it will make your phone ****ed up if you apply those animations ...
Edited Content: You probably didnt read what the MOD said 2 posts above yours
Anyway, I'd just like to say that I'm relatively new to this forum and i'm very impressed with the help and quick responses to questions. You guys are so good, it's scary! Please keep up the good work. And, THANK YOU for giving my phone abilities I never knew it had!

One last warning before I close this thread: focus on the topic and restrain yourself from useless posting/fighting, arguing.
The iPhone kinda cheats to make those animations... it takes an instant screenshot and then animates that, it's not true ui animation.
There was a program that was called PocketSuspendFX that did that with WinMo during shutdown/startup and it worked pretty well.
WinMo 6.x is very able to do this but I'd want it "done right". It's a wonder why MS didn't implement this in the 6.1 update.

Download a program called Kinoma FreePlay and it has built in Animation for when you flip the phone and it works perfect.
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 ;-)

exactly only this will be better 'cause it'll be made by it's users, resulting in endless possibilities.
There is an official version of GH for Win Mobile too. I played only demo, but it was quite good. It of course lacked the option to add custom tracks.

Yeah, that's something that would be avaible in this app, it's the users who choose what tracks the game will contain through requesting them.
And hopefully this version will work for VGA!
I think a Beats-like game (Beats, the PSP game) would have far more potencial. There you have space to inovate, instead of just making a custom guitar hero. Which leads me to the gameplay.. Tapping the notes as they come? :S Hardly "guitar-ish"! Especially not having multitouch...
If you want to brainstorm on what could be a good music game for WM devices, I'm all up to it. If it comes down to something interesting I'll even help coding it, provided someone else does some neat neat graphics

thanks i checked "beats" out and i can't say that i understood much of it, i catched that you tap the psp buttons to hit the "notes" though. didn't look very fun compared to guitar hero or tap tap revenge if u ask me.
but sure, i can "brainstorm" on what could be a good wm music game, if ur not interested in this concept. one of my reasons for this was to annoy my iPhone friend who's playing tap tap revenge.. and to contribute to the community ofc

Beats is similar to Guitar Hero with the change that you don't play just the guitar notes but every major peak in the mp3's channel data. What that means is you can put any mp3 you want and Beats will analyze it and create a game level for you.
Also, you'll probably tap to the rythm of the drums where their the loudest thing, and hop back to guitar if there's a solo... That sort of thing. I don't know tap tap revenge but I'll look into it.
I meant you, yes, if you're good with graphics
Keep in mind I'm a student so I have a tight schedule, I have other projects (one of which I plan to post here given some time) and I'm not familiar with DirectDraw calls. I won't commit right now to make this happen, but I think in time it's possible to work something out if you still need a developer.
Truth is, I'd love to see a good music game for our phones, but can't grasp the spectacular idea behind it on my own right now

I would be really interested in this type of game, unfortunetly i have no programming skills but would love to be a tester
What about some music-based arcade, like AudioSurf or Vib Ribbon? I guess it would suit the smartphone environment better than a quitar play simulator
Seems interesting

Please note this is more alpha testing than beta, the software is in early development phase and we're currently testing the graphics engine on the different devices and resolutions. QVGA is currently well supported (I own one!) but VGA is giving some problems. We have to triage those problems in order to fix them.
W resolutions are not up to date, because they take a little more work. The way we tackle those devices is still not clear. They have a different aspect ratio which makes me (personally) want to just add a bar to the top of the screen

Can HTC generate a similar application like that? I love that very much, it's such a creative idea. Any one can do that?
can HTC generate ? I don't know where you bought your machine but my HTC does not generate much. Anyway:
Since you did not include any link or description regarding the program, I googled it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46r40RKgP8k

You'd have to make it yourself, and then install it to your TP.
Man, I don't even know the first thing about creating stuff like this. If I knew how, I would be all over it. Have any tips for a beginner?
That's a really pointless app but really funny! The right thing if you're getting angry!
