[APP] Jumba is back in stunning HD graphics! - Android Software Development

Just decided to share - legendary 5-in-a-row Jumba from Windows Mobile, one of the best and beautiful games for WM is now on Android for free!
Jumba is an exciting puzzle game. Its gameplay is easy to learn but hard to master which makes it extremely addictive.
The game features high resolution graphics and a relaxing soundtrack. You can also share your highscores with thousands of other players in a world wide challenge. Of course without registration.
The idea of the game:
Your goal is to create lines of 5 balls or more to make them vanish. By creating multple lines without wasting a move in between you can increase your score. Bonus items like jokers and multiplier-boxes will help you to achieve even greater highscores.
Grab it here:

What's your opinion on the game? In my opinion there should be some additional modes like classic lines or time attack mode... I could not end a single game - seems to be rather easy.
But still very relaxing and beautiful

I have downloaded the four files which ones are needed to be installed?
Can you please provide some directions? Thanks.. :lol:
Unzip the gfdoom_zip and then add doom1.wad file from the website then transfer whole folder into \storage card\program files on the device. Create a shortcut to gfdoom.exe and off you go. To get to landscape mode in doom select options - low resolution and it switches.
its switching to landscape but its upside down

i've been playing tetris... nothing gets better than that. i really don't like the high-end games that require you to do a lot. something simple that just uses the d-pad is cool by me. i'm looking for pac-man, and maybe some good card games.

Games for Titan

Has anyone got any links or games for the titan.
Many thanks
Check out Pocketgear.com or Handago.com for a large list of PocketPC programs, including games.
Astraware is one of my favorites for games as well. I like their board game and solitaire game packs. Zuma, Text Twist, Word Mojo, Sudoku, and Platypus are also good ones in my opinion.
Real Dice as some very nice card games that can be played against others online, which is kinda cool, though it is hard to find players at times.
Sorry... you asked for links, here's links to the sites I mentioned above:
http://www.astraware.com/
http://www.realdice.com/games
Also check out this site: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
I can't judge on the quality of anything there, but it does have one nice attribute: FREE.
EDIT: No longer needed, forum mods have resolved.
PS. Have you looked into Shadows of Legend I think it's called? Apparently it's a MMORPG you can play online from your windows mobile client. I just came across the website today and will download it onto my PC and load it onto my titan when I get home to see if such a thing actually does work. Lord knows I have hours to waste at my job on downtime and would love to fill some time in with a solid RPG. It's also free but you have an option to purchase credits or something for additional things? again not 100% sure how this exactly works will read more on it and post a review at a later date in case this is of interest to anyone on the site. Happy hunting and if you find some really good games let me know!

This it your LAST WARNING!!!
Next time I see you directing or posting how to links or directions to WAREZ, You are banned!!!
Twice in 2 days now!!
There is a giant thread at ppcgeeks, with free and paid games. Here is a link:
Games
Here are the games I have and really enjoy so far. You can find these easily by Googling them:
1. Legacy: An absolutely amazing Wizardry-like role playing game. You can have up to 4 characters of a variety of classes and the view is quasi-first person. You go through dungeons, caves, wilderneses, and towns. There are shops and NPCs and side quests. The game is massive and there are official expansions and player modded expansions. Really a wonderful game if you like FRPGs and one of the few games I have actually paid for.
These guys have a new game called Quest that is Legacy but even better, with aclhemical and crafting rules and better graphics.
I cannot recommend Legacy enough.
2. MBroPoker: A disclaimer, as the author is my uncle, but this is a great 7 card stud program against 6 other AI players, each with differing "personalities". The graphics are a bit fuzzy on the cards, but you can change them to letter reps (for example, AH = Ace of Hearts) and it looks much better.
3. Leo's Flight Simulator and Leo's Space Combat Simulator: People are still amazed at how much stuff Leo packed into these programs. The Flight Sim is a full blown Flight Sim, and you had better know how to work one to have a chance of not crashing. Includes all sorts of weird aviation accurate stuff like radio freqs, talking to the towers, etc. Has scenery for New York, San Fran, and WW1 Paris. Has over 30 types of planes, including towed gliders. has settings for time of day, cloud cover, thermals, etc. Amazingly complicated.
Space Simulator is a space combat game where you are the pilot and have missions to blow up enemies using lasers and missiles. Less complicated than Flight Sim. Neat sound effects too.
The big problem with both of these games is that there is no documentation in the programs. You have to download the PC versions and then they have documentation. Even then, the author is Italian, and the documentation is in English but not the best.
But if you have the patience to test these out (and if you have Flight Sim experience for the Flight Sim) these are awesome.
4. Pocket Humanity: Civilization on the Pocket PC. If you like Civ, you will enjoy Pocket Humanity. No...the graphics are old school (ala Civ 1), but the play is decent and you can have a huge world with up to 17 AI!! All the nations are present, the techs, many different types of units, Wonders, everything you would expect from a turn-based Civ-like game.
5. Pocket UFO: An almost exact port of Xcom UFO for the pocket PC. Excellent graphics, wonderful unit encyclopedia. No instructions...so you need to essentially download the manual for the original Xcom game. Not too hard to find this in PDF format. Xcom is routinely voted the best PC game of all time, and so this being an almost exact port...well draw your own conclusions.
6. Pocket Conquer and Pocket General: These are shareware, though the free portion is entirely playable (you just cannot change settings). Conquer is Risk. general is Stratego. They play EXACTLY like the boardgames with some setting mods if you so desire. They play well and are very well designed. When I get tired of the free mode I will pay for these...they are that good. The AI on Risk is very accomplished against a human player (against the other AI they don't do as well).
7. Pocket Uno, Pocket Racko, Pocket Parchisi: These are by the same develo0per and they are all excellent. The Uno is better than even the commercial Uno pgoram put out by the real owners of the game.
8. Pocket Millebornes: I love millebornes, and this is the best program I have found for the game.
9. Trip Yahtzee: Best freeware yahtzee game I have seen. Allows up to 2 players.
Other games I have not played enough to comment upo but they look promising:
Creatonia: A very detailed RPG.
Crimson Fields: A tactical turn based hexagon wargame with many scenarios. Looks very nice.
Regards,
Devin

Essential Apps for HD?

1. I'm dieing for some high-res games like the iPhone is getting. Anybody have any suggestions?
2. CBR/CBZ viewer. INB4 "extract them."
3. Password/form filler for opera mobile 9.5?
Some Good Games Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone develop or find some games for the Touch HD that have good graphics and are actually a good game. Like that monkey game on the iPhone. That is 1 fun and good looking game.
Everybody always wants monkey ball from the iPhone... Well the truth is games of that calibre are not just easily "developed"... it's a very high quality game that will require a *lot* of time for spare time unpaid developers to create.
The people on this forum invest a lot of time and energy already to even create proof of concepts, they got daytime jobs as well.
If anybody were to make such a game, make it a GOOD game that is, it would be a professional company, like the creators of Monkey Ball... Not many winmo phones got G-sensors and graphics accelerators, so it is not commercially attractive for companies to make games for it, simple.
However, the amount of GPU/G-sensor winmo phones is increasing exponentially so I would not be surprised to see such games appear in the near future.
Oh, and nothing about iPhone games is high res, it's the gameplay and graphics quality itself that is good. The res remains HVGA
I would like to see EA develop Spore for the HD in hi-res. Possibly a full version with the ability to sync with the PC version. But I would settle for a port of the iPhone Spore Origins.

Importance of Group Playtest for Game/App Development

Digital Eclairs went to Pinewood's after school program called AppLab, focused on getting kids more hands on on new electronics coming up.
We presented our project XnO, with multiple handled devices to kids (age group 8-12). After the first 15 mins of hands on experience, they were really enjoying the gameplay, comparing it to different games titles and how it was better, why they liked 3D, asking questions on when the app would be released, and they were very interested in knowing about the process of how it was created.
It showed us that 3D environments were a welcome change, kids respond well to warm colors we used. We set each kid on a different level and they seemed comfortable playing and getting familiar with the app. Some kids responded very well with the higher levels and some not so well because we had not ramped them through the initial gameplay, but after a few tries they started to get the hang of the game and when they were able to win they were really happy. In retrospect we realized that this was a bit of a difficult learning curve for someone new coming to this game, but with the release upon us we had to move forward with what he had. In order to give people a taste of the game on the iOS we released with a showcase of 5 levels, which looking back on it now, care is needed when choosing the level of difficulty to the casual gamer.
The Accelerometer presented an interesting challenge to the kids, once they figured out they could lift the device and tilt it left and right to move the character they were able to pick up on it quick and continue with how they had been completing the levels previously. We were short few devices and a few kids had to share the same device. The ones who were collaborating did very well on higher levels taking turns and really engaging in the game and helping each other and were faster in adapting to the game. This helped us understand that putting out a physics puzzled based game would definitely require a walkthrough to help the community through some of those tough levels.
As a developer with our first game a week away from release, it was an exhilarating experience to see our product being enjoyed by these kids. Their eagerness to explore all the game features gave us so much satisfaction and all the pain and efforts in building this game were totally worth it. The kids were very interested in knowing the process of how the game was made and when they were asked for feedback they all jumped in saying: They loved double headed turtle and wanted a three headed turtle, in-game currency that they can use to buy in things in game like weapons, wallpaper, and many more suggestions.
To anyone who want to make their own game, arrange group play tests ahead of time once you have a working build. You will get wonderful insight into your game. We had initially done a lot a individual testing from industry people, which is very useful and should not be ignored but for a complete overview on a game and end user perspective go for group tests, as individual test can sometimes be misleading. And do it as soon and as often as possible.

How-To White-Box a Game (Making of XnO Part II)

No story is complete without its origins. We love to share with you the very first white-box environment of XnO!
XnO began its origins from the name "Ice Breakers", the way the cylindrical blocks were breaking. We had 3 walls couple of boxes from unity asset packages. And began the journey. We wanted to take a simple idea and implement in it all the possible depths.
When we began majority of the games were 2D or side scrollers, that never gave the player full satisfaction of real life interaction with physics of the objects. So we chose a 3D engine, as to why "unity" - the amount of tutorials, community support and ease of start was a key factor in choosing that engine.
To be a team you would need atleast 3 components to begin with - programmer, 2D/3D artist and level designer. Not to say one person can handle more than one aspect. As a team we were all on the same page, we want to make a physics based game with focus on gameplay first.
We followed the following steps:
i) Create first level - We used very basic components - rectangle, sphere, cylinder to create a game play scenario.
ii) Create a flow through of the game - Main Menu, Options and Level Select Screens. Once this was done adding new levels was very easy.
iii) In Game HUD - To enter and exit from any level
iv) Uploaded a web version for our friends/family to play.
Once we had all the pieces then we focussed on exploring all the possible depths and variations in the gameplay that can be achieved to make the game engaging and fun. In our case - target variations, introducing obstacles, power-ups, use of accelerometer to enhance gameplay. Once we had built the key features in, we explored on how to increase difficulty of the levels as the game progressed. At this stage we made some of our models, used some from unity and still used royalty free music.
Once we had good 20 levels working with all the above, we started showing it to people who either played a lot of games or were in gaming. This gave us a good insight on how improve.
As an indie developer it was so much easier for us to do the white-box the way we did because we focussed on Gameplay and Game Design, not so much on the art in the beginning. So when we got the feedback to change, it was so much easier to do it. We were never set in stone.
XnO is our attempt at making a 3D game with as close as possible to real physics without sacrificing the gameplay and memory footprint of the game. XnO is now available on Google Play and Amazon App Store.
