[GAME]Bantumi Diamond (Old Nokia 3310 Game)

My second game for Windows Mobile!!!
yay?
This is a remake of an old Nokia 3310 Game that I used to play all the time.
Good old days!
Explanation of the way the game is played:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala
This game is made for 2 people to play against each other.
I might add a singleplayer if I have the time to!
Since everyone has their own rules for this game I will write them down real short:
When ending your "seeding" in a empty hole on the opponent's side you will capture a point.
When you end up in your own main hole you get an extra turn.
The opponent's main hole will not be skipped while "seeding"
There I hope I explained it well enough.
Any suggestions or bugs reports are more than welcome!
Enjoy gaming!

"Screens or it didn't happen"
or
"Screens or GTFO"
Is that polite enough?
J/k Thanks for the effort!

Hi Freckle
could it be possible to get som screenshots please ?
And a single player version would be awesome !!!

Screen shots are a must, some users never put something on there phone without knowing how it will look

oh I totally agree, I would never put something on my phone without seeing a screenshot or a video of it.
Definitely not from an unknown developer like me
Video is uploaded, check my first post!!!

Can I be honest with you ?
The graphics are not really beautiful...., I would love to see it looks like a real wood one
I do love this game, I spent hours playing on it on my nokia and I also have a real one in my house
something like this would be definitely better

Seconded. Since that 3D dice app was cancelled (I was working on the graphics for that) this could be a fun project to take on. Give me a day and I can whip up something that's at least on par with the above screenshot - I'll try to make it look better .

Not everyone knows how to create apps like the one you showed us from the screenshot.
I appreciate your honesty, but I started giving C# a shot 2 weeks ago.
And I haven't ever made a 3d/graphical application before.
Also I'm not following a ICT/"Programming" education yet, have to wait 1 and a half years for that.
If someone could give me a push in the right direction, that would be appreciated.
***I think I have an idea to spice it up, give me some time.

sorry, was not my intension to bee impolite, if I it is SORRY. I'm just adding more text in the window because was "to short".
If Freckle got offended SORRY again.
I agree with the graphics I would like it more developed. Wy not use a genuine mancala:
Anyhow respect to Freckle for work and sharing

That's alright mate ;-)
I'm working on the board right now, the board is almost finished.
I'm trying to add some cool text that will look like it's sort of cut into the board.

The new board (without buttons)

now it looks better dude
Your on the good road

I just can't figure out how to get the picturebox transparent so I can put actual round images in it without having a white overlay.

I'd use a ImageButton with transparency set to true,
this should also help you "catch" the clicks
But IMHO I think it is better to complete the the coding prior to the cosmetics, I'd rather see a fully functional game which doesn't look that nice then a not working game which looks great.
with fully functional I meant including a single player version...
because that is the real challenge
Anyway I'm glad you started this thread, because I almost forgot about this great game. thank you
keep up the good work

I'm glad I could remind you of this game as it's an amazing game!
I choose to do the design first as that's what people mainly wanted.
After that I'll do my best to get the singleplayer working.
Thank you

One problem,
ImageButton is for ASP (Websites)
Any ideas?

Maybe, but it can also be used in other development languages,
I use Basic4PPC to develop and there the control has already been created

Microsoft Visual Studio
C#
I will code it in then, I probably have to put in "using System.Web;" and create the button manually
I'll try it when I get back from school.

Does anyone want to take an interest...

in creating a small header image for www.market4android.com ? I know some of you are way better at design than I, so I'd like to know if anyone wants to take a stab at it...
if enough people wanna play with the idea, I can have a little voting thing afer a couple days and whoever wins will get their image added to the header
I just figured out it can be a max of 77px tall, and dont be afraid to use a transparent background, make it a gif, png, whatever, and width, max 900px.
Light animations catch my eye too

I'll give it a go!

I'll definitely give it go!

Dude... I just clicked tr link in your post and was directed to a porn site:
This is the url of the page that opened: m.market4android.com/?wpmp_switcher=true
Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended, just a little surprised and I thought you should know.

Looking forward to this!

Full site. Mobile will be coming soon.
And as for the ignorant little kid who decided to try to post a racist remark on the site, first off, I have your IP and you will be banned form the site permanently. Second, for what you just said I can probably get you banned here as well, too. And third, you can post all you want to, they'll always have to be approved by me first.
Wide Open West, LLC ring a bell?

Alright... here's a quite mock up of the header.
I don't know what you want it to say, but maybe you can enlighten me as to what you're looking for. Upon request, any of this can change.
Anyways, here it is:

It'd probably be best to stick with the name of the site for the text in the image... and since I am able to position it anywhere, if you look on the site now you'll see where it says custom logo... that's where your logo will go, and sorry but I just figured out it can be a max of 77px tall, and dont be afraid to use a transparent background, make it a gif, png, whatever, and width, max 900px.

Not sure what to do about the mobile version... if anyone wants to take a stab and check out the css for it, feel free to! There should be a mobile switcher option in the footer.

Thanks! I like doing visual graphics stuff. Though it's definitely not my area of expertise, I think I can always improve. Anyways, another question I had was -- for the header, do you have a slogan at all for the website? Or, is Market4Android the only that it should say?
Edit:: Here's another mock up header -- changed size and added Market4Android into Header. *Note -- the Slogan (Open Source at it's finest, can change to whatever you want it to say)

Let me start off by saying I'm a huge NFL Football fan and a DIE-HARD Philadelphia Eagles fan!! I decided to try skinning various items on my phone to rep my team. I've started by creating a simple eagles dialpad skin for my stock sprint 6.5 dialer using photoshop. I liked it so much I decided to make one for every NFL team and share with the community that has so greatly shared with me. Here's a preview of what my eagles dialpad looks like..
Edit: These are made to work with stock sprint rom which uses a dialer with portrait dimensions of 480x272. If you use verizon or a custom rom with the larger button layout, let me know and i'll remake it in the slightly larger size for ya..
Below I've attached cab's and screenshots for all 32 NFL teams. I've seperated them by division.
EDIT: All *4* Sets of Dialpad and *1* Set of banner skin cabs, as well as screenshots, can be found on the 1st 3 pages. Leave comments and let me know what you guys think. Enjoy..
New: New DINIK set for every team!!

Windows 7 Google Phone Market - Coming Soon!
/puke

I'd like a market that doesn't forget my downloads and break my links. Other than that, they can make it look like 1998 Geocities page for all I care.

What's up with all the hating on the new design? That's just the page that opens up the first time! Who knows what the rest of the market is like and how they sort and list their apps. I'm just saying don't be so quick to judge it.

I'd like a market where you can get rid of the god damn pay apps that are utterly useless or don't use or ever plan to use again.
For instance.. OpenHome.. It's old crap and no one uses it anymore yet it contributes to "My Apps" clutter. I have a decent collection of pay crap I simply don't use, and don't ever intend to use again.. In 2 years our "My Apps" list is going to be stupidly long and a burden. Google needs a "Delete from account" option.

Honestly I think its because it looks like a winpho7 home screen and I'm sure I speak for many around here when I say.....winpho7 looks like sh!t

It's funny, because there are a lot of people that think WinPhone7 looks great (I being among them) but it is certainly a polarizing design. There are many people that you do, indeed, speak for. Nobody seems to be in the middle, that's for sure. You love it or you hate it.

Fruit Cake Maker [90% there]

So Fruit Cake Maker is finally on the last stages of its creation. Either today or tomorrow you will be able to play with it. I cut the paid version out in favor of just an ad supported version, and i have laid a road map for updating it for the rest of next year.
So with the great news fresh in the air, i have commandeer this post once again to ask you guys for your help. You see, i can program, but i cant draw for shiznet.
So with all that said, if anyone would like to create an icon, for Fruit Cake Maker, i would really appreciate it, and will give you full credit!
the standard icon is 72x72 and png.
_________
btw:
once Fruit Cake Maker is out and about, i will begin work on an application to ease searching for new builds.
the goal of the app will be to back up your data. clear it! and cache. set the server to connect to, and launch the setup so you can create the fake account connect to moto and try to update.
if more people can test more often, we will be finding more builds like 2.3.5 or who knows, maybe even ics

Brilliant idea!! What about copyrights etc etc though? For example all the purchased apps that will be distributed? Or am I missing the point (probably am..)?

it dosnt touch cache or data, so none of the users personal data or apps will be included on the zip, the app will make.

Copyright infringement will apply to those who are actually bundling paid apps alongside the ROMs, it will not affect FCM as FCM is a means to make backups and helping others if they don't know how to upgrade to the latest ROMs.
It's the responsibility of the ROM owner to make sure that he/she isn't bundling paid apps with the ROM.
Brilliant idea I say. "p
