Wheel 0.4.3
Let me introduce you my new platform game for Windows Mobile, playable at Pocket PC 2002 and above (yes, really). I’m not a big fan of apps that works on one display resolution only, so the game is screen resolution independent (you can play on QVGA or WQVGA), however it looks best on the HVGA, VGA and WVGA screens.
The most important is that you can press more than one virtual button on you classic resistive screen (as it was capacitive), which makes this type of game comfortably playable even without hardware buttons. Nice, isn’t it?
What is the game itself all about? You control small robotic wheel (which was actually wooden in non-public releases ) chased by devil from outer space (or something like that) who wants your score (but not you life). Score is obtained by collecting yellow stars.
There are no levels, there are dimensions. In each dimension, you have to found interdimensional gateway, which takes you to the new dimension, similar to the previous one, or to completely different. Red arrow accelerates the devil (red aura), green arrow slows down him. Green sprout accelerates your wheel (blue aura), but only for limited time. Also, in the beginning of every dimension, you will get little bit of extra speed, just like when you die and are resurrected.
To save your game, use X -> SAVE. In main menu, use CG to continue.
The game is not yet entirely completed (and I’m not fully convinced if it is worth finishing since Windows Phone 7 are coming). Even so, let me know of any problems, ideas or thoughts. I don’t promise anything, but it could help to make the game better.
Note: I know it's ironic, but the multitouch effect can't work on HTC HD2 because of it's real capacitive screen.
Note 2: The game does NOT use any "multi-touch SDK", as stated here (I don't know why the author wrote it).
The game is completely free for your personal use, although it can be downloaded from the following site ONLY (I know it's annoying, but be fair and respect it):
DOWNLOAD
I hope I haven't forgotten anything and that you will enjoy the game .
(As you probably noticed, english is not my native language so I’m sorry if I have written anything funny .)
AWESOME GAME!!! Works great on my GSM treo pro. No lag and the multitouch is really nice.
Yes, it's really cool !!!
thx !!!
Thanks for your hard work! Nice game...
nice. but please keep a graphical update in mind
I tried your game on my XDA Flame (VGA with WM5).
Must say I'm impressed -especially with the multitouch. Too bad we dont see this in other games!
I'd like a bit faster scrolling and some in-game sound or tune..
Keep up good work plz!
Thank you all for your positive reactions, I am sincerely delighted and a little bit surprised .
I know about poor graphic. I’m not very good at creating it . If there is anyone who wants to help me, I’m enclosing the main graphics files. Transparent color is magenta (R = 255, G = 0, B = 255).
If someone creates something, post it here and I will try to build the game with it .
Good that i still have my Toshiba E830. Will try it tomorrow.
it looks great. One problem on the HD2 - since it is capacitive instead of pressing both keys you need to utilize the resisteive multitouch trick you impoy. in other words, to do multitouch on the HD2 you need to single touch between the two directions you want to go which is actually a little confusing in practice because you need to remember the variables. it does seem to be pretty nice otherwise.
nice game, good design for control
Very, very strong arcade feeling
Graphics may not be top notch, but it fits perfectly with the kind of game, my only glitch is that, no matter my HD2 being obviously multitouch capable, I still cannot press two buttons at the same time... maybe it's because I have LMT installed which "steals" multitouch from the game?
@bugsykoosh
just read your post, nevermind I can play by pressing the middle area, yes it is somehow harder to get the hang of it,m but after that, it kicks in my genetic adversity for arcade games, I die no matter what
Thanks for testing on HD2. I don't know why I didn't get i sooner, but it naturally can't work on real capacitive screen of HD2. I'll add it into the first post...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i could give it a try.
But first i will play your game
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your game, RDT!
It is really the kind of games I like to have on my Touch HD: simple but addictive!
I've created a post for your game on a french website by translating your post to french.
I've respected your choice not to create any mirror download link, and people will have to download it from your website.
Again, thank you very much!
You're probably in the last dimension, the hardest one . I created a video showing how to complete it .
2 michoob: Thanks for writing about my game, I really appreciate it .
The game is a platform where we help our wheeled robot to travel through dimensions and avoid obstacles and enemies.
i guess you have to think about a good story of this game. For example: a little dragon that tries to escape from his bad father or something like that. Make a nice story, and that will be the begin of a nice game
But, when you say I can tap onm two places, do you really mean it? I mean, I am using it on HTC Gene as well as HD2. Double touch not working on HD2 is fine. But I can't make two touches on my Gene too. What's wrong?
dakujem - thanx
gr8t stuff
Playing this game almost after year and a half. Nostalgic. Great work! For those who are curious, I have still maintained my Gene along with the other devices.
Play the popular Dead Space game on your WVGA device.
Trapped in a space station you have to survive until help comes. Move left or right and fire your gun at incoming enemies. As you gain ranks , the enemies will come at you faster and faster. Dead Space on your windows mobile device!!!
Featured Achivements in the Game:
Your Rank is under the score on top left of screen.
10,000= killer title
30,000=warrior title
100,000= ???? you got to get there to find out!!!
UPDATE: Cab file added
If you have any questions please feel free to ask

tips and tricks
Here is some advice for the game.
1) When the enemies land on the ground they move towards you. So if you havent fired a shot move quickly out the way.
2) When your rookie status changes to killer the enemies move faster. Sometimes fire shots inbetween moving back and forth.
3) Try to look for patterns in the enemy movements , it helps later on when they are comming faster.
If you got any more questions just post and I will answer. Try to get the highest rank possible!!!
Has anyone been able to reach the highest rank yet??
feedback
working on blackstone..
seems like a cool little mini game..
is it possable to make the buttons bigger?
nice mini game
How about a VGA port please?
It's really bad game, didn't like it.
Just a copyright infringement by krensis again...
dude great job if we can get this ported to android youd have a huge amount people that would enjoy it maybe even pay for
Great job, will try it! Cheers man!
Thanks for the feedback guys!!
1) Ok the buttons are small but they have a region slack so you dont have to press directly on them , I did that so they dont obsure the view.
2) I cant do VGA because I dont have VGA device to test it on.
I happen to play this game after a lay off. I realize its too hard for casual gamers , so if I have time I will make an easier version later.
I just stayed in the corner shooting and couldn't die. Got boring after a while using that method. Any other way was an impossible task for me.
i will try it thanks
Hi people, what's up?
I want to do some research for a class in my school about the most common gestures made while we're using android phones and etc. Do any of you know any app that could do that for me? It basically needs to track finger movement continuously and store it somewhat, like a heatmap for example.
I've looking for it at the market and all over the internet, there are a bunch of information about how I can implement it at my app but what I need is tracking and recording these movements across all the apps, including the homescreen and etc.
As it's for a student research, the cheaper as possible, please!
Thanks for everything, and sorry for my bad english. You guys rocks!
I'd be interested in this as well. I'm an user experience designer. There are a couple of eye tracking solutions for mobile devices using Tobii Studio but they are upwards of 20k, plus it's for tracking eyes and not fingers.
Inspire 4G - CM 7.1 Nightly - TalonACE
Nice to know there are other people on this boat. I'm a digital design high school student with a great focus on user experience as well!
Let me know if you have any news about this. Eye tracking are pretty common because it's used a lot in feedback studies but it amazes me the difficulty to find something touch-related, this kind of interaction is so hyped nowadays..

Guys you can go through "common floor retina" over internet or on YouTube may be it can help you.
Hi,
I really wonder your opinion about Peace Starter Meditation - Relax found on Google Play.
It is not just a simple meditation app. It contains:
1. Daily Quotes & Wisdom
2. Nature Sounds with Live Screens
3. Pure Binaural Beats
4. Universe Meditation
5. Do Nothing
6. Meditation Music Radio
I hope you love. I think it has easy-to-use user friendly interface
But is it really useful app? Can it help to inner transformation, genuine peace, and lasting happiness?
Please share your opinion with me...
PS: Don't forget TSHIRT2015 code 15% off every single t-shirt at bernART inside of app
Why to waste your time on such useless apps..
If people go on believing such apps then no one shall do exercise or relaxing by meditation...
It's good not to promote such idea...
If you like such apps & It feels good to you by using them then keep it....
I don't believe in such nonsense...
My opinion is that you're a shill.
Hello
I know, I´m not the first, whos asking, but I believe, somebody here in this forum can DO it!
There is a BIG need for a possibility to reverse/flip/mirror the display of android-smartphones & tablets horizontally – no matter which app is running.
People like their own, individual HUD!
Especial tablets are perfect for this – no matter what kind of information people like to see or what kind of navigation software they use.
Good commercial HUD are very expensive, are fixed in 1 car and it is NOT possible to be free what you see.
All HUD-Apps, commercial as well, are the same. Okay, they are free or cheap, but they do NOT show what people like to see or integrate navigation someone like and so on.
Especial tablets are big enough to show navigation but other things as well like speed, or …
COME ON!
Someone here at this board can make it and would be (as far as I know) worldwide the first!
Many people would love and use and donate this innovation.
Please tell me you got it ...
Best regards from Germany …
