Is Anyone interested in creating an App where us WRC Fans can follow the Championship?
Been looking fo a while and can't find anything for it unless of course you have a 'gay phone' erm I mean iPhone.
Actually, the iPhone app is quite good, installed it on the wife's phone. Not sure how perhaps I can reverse engineer it to see where it pulls it's data from and how this can be used for a WM app.
Any help whould be mucho appreciated. If no-one is interested in making one, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for developer tools etc and never know, I might just do it myself......
just been looking at the 'might do it myself' option, don't think that one is gonna happen
So, anyone interested to pick this up and go with it?
I'd be interested too...
I think it's great idea.
next year!
I will start developing it... next year!

hi all...
i'm looking for someone to build a clone of the word-game boggle. I'd like to work with a developer to create this app. I' am happy to fund this project and work out any arrangement which would be in the developers best interest.
in the iphone it is called wurddle (http://semisecretsoftware.com/wurdle/), it is probably the best boggle clone out currently. there are several apps out for winmo (Wordly, Scramble, etc) but they are all rubbish; actually, Wordly is very good except that the developer didnt pay attention to several important factors( the algorithim for letter distribution is not thought out, so you can never make any real words due to the consonant-vowel distribution).
i am an avid word game enthusiast and would like to build this to proper specs (most updated dictionary, various dictionary options, 5x5 and 4x4 optionality, proper letter algorithim, i could go on....)
please note i am not looking to steal anyones work nor am i requesting warez. i would like to build this from the ground up and incur whatever costs are necessary to do so.
i am not super rich but i can afford to fund this to a degree, perhaps fully. mostly because it is killing me that the iphone has this app and my awesome hd2 has junk. i've attached a few pictures of wurdle, wordly, and actual boggle to give you an idea of what im looking for.
let's create something great!
thanks all,
jason

Jason, i have deleted the post in QnA so you dont get spread out replys, cheers.
Hmm...This seems like a rather interesting project. I could take this on! I'm not the best dev out there, but this would def. serve as a great learning block for me, and I could definitely get it done. I just need the ideas and how you want it to look/work, and I can do the rest
PM me or email me at [email protected]

awesome! emailing...
i love this site. love it.
Yes, like the idea of the program, You need a dictionairy for every language you create it in.
This will be one of the best game with a very good learning effect for mom and da for her childs . And for the game freaks under us ...
I can help you with the development if needed but actually I would like a program like this:
- http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cijfers_en_Letters
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_(game_show)
Does it already exist too?
i would play this game all day, looking forward to it.

@the0ne:
that's a good sample, but there is no trail version. So it is not the solution to see how it works or do some tests before pay. I think in this case we must find out the wheel a second time .

actually that game sucks. i bought it, like many others. they all suck. there is at least one inherintly wrong thing in every single one of these boggle clones that make it nauseating for me to play. it has the right idea but clearly no developer understands how to create a great, realistic boggle app; which is why i have decided to step in and do this myself.
that game show thing looks pretty cool actually.

Yes, it does.
Could you make a little storyboard what functions, actions, options this program should have. I'm interested in the development but don't know for sure what should be in or out.
I played this arcade game on holiday recently, and wow it's so addicting anyone who tries it will surely agree. In fact I made a pretty tidy profit most nights.
I've searched the 'net and found various sites, like this one:
http://www.gamemobile.co.uk/skillballbingo.htm
to download the game but nowhere can I find a version which is compatible with the HD2.
I would be eternaly grateful if someone can manage to do this, I'd also be willing to make a tidy donation to any worthy cause (ie your beer fund).
If anyone can do this, let me know so I can purchase the game and send you the files.
Thx in anticipation.
Can anyone help with this please?
Surely there must be somebody in the community who can do this?????
If it's not possible to do this for whatever reason, can somebody just say so please?
Anyone please? I mean is this possible to do?
A short yay or nay will suffice.
Thank you!
I do not think porting is feasible.
Jou could offcourse contact the developer of the game.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
If you don't mind, could you please explain why porting of this game to HD2 wouldn't be feasible. I would be interested to know.
Also thx for suggesting contacting the developer, I never thought of this. Might be worth a try.
Regards.
Hello and good evening everyone.
I have received so much from these forums and the Android community in general. A while back I had a HTC DHD and contributed with bandwidth for ARHD(this is way back) as I want to give back to the community(donations aside ofc). Now I have a LG P990 and am trying to find a way to help out with something.
Recently I have been trying a lot of apps of all sorts. One thing I have noticed is the poor translations to swedish. It is sometimes even embarrassing to see how very well written apps and tools are just filled with down right badly translated text. Seeing how many Android users there are in Sweden I really think this is both strange and a bit sad.
I don't know if I' sticking my nose out here, but I want to help clean this up. Maybe I come off as arrogant in this post. That is not the intention here though. All I'm looking for is a way to try and figure out how to help out
Should I just start emailing the specific devs or is there a forum or anything where "translators" gather round? IRC channels maybe? Am I being stupid?

Yep, that's the best you can do. Actually, multi-language support isn't a difficult job, so I think the devs will be glad if you wish help them

Actually it seems pretty difficult to do since a majority of translations are less than perfect.
The problem with emailing devs is that they have no idea of who I am or what I am capable of. Did it a couple years back and the usual reply was "we have someone" or "no we don't need it".
Hello!
I'm currently studying in the last high school year and I'm thinking in going for Informatics and Computing Engineering at the College so most likely I'll be connected to this kind of development work...
Despite knowing some basic things of HTML and CSS and programming little programs in C or C++ I am still noob and don't really have knowledge to call myself a programmer but I'm interested and "self prompted" to learn more and more about this world and I believe some Android would be good for me.
Well, I am thinking in trying to learn alone in my free time with the objective to be able to build a custom rom for myself or something like that. I also want to make some apps... well, some Android things not only for myself but also to share here and help the others like I've been helped since ever. But... well I am realistic and I believe it isn't that easy and I need to take the right way, that's why I'm asking here for some advice and information... how did you developers learn what you learned? was it from the internet and practice at home or did you take any course? how much time did you need to learn the basics and start your experiments?
Thanks in advance!
Well its not for everyone.. I mean its not that easy. Ive been trying to pull of something myself and didnt succeed yet. But im gonna try till it succeeds. Just dont give up. There are plenty of guides around. Im sure youll figure it out!

Hi, I'm really new to android developing, i want to make a very simple app, you open it and you get the other people using the app position, in a range of 50 meters from you. Maybe everyone could update a picture of himself that will be displayed where he is, so like a marker to indicate his position. Then if you click on one of this marker/photos you can see some details that the user put in when he registered. Is it possible for a newbie to do it? I think I obviously will need a server and help. Can you please tell me what sould i do, how much will I spend, etc, and like a to-do list?
thanks in advance.

Student of android dev here!
What your asking for is pretty complex. If you dont have much experience coding or creating apps, i would suggest practicing by making other smaller apps and then building up to then.
You can also hire somebody else to do it, how much it would be would depend of their skill and exactly what features you want on it.

Ok, but is it possible to create an app like that with the right amount of skill? Will I, after plenty of tutorials be able to do it?
Anything is possible. Practice makes perfect! Or near perfect
