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.
Hey I was wondering if there any Devs out there who would mind helping me develop a rom based on assassins creed 2 the game. I had an idea. A red colored rom with the Animated custom boot screen and shut down screen. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I will be in the.process of making this tonight.
How exactly is this a ROM? What you're proprosing is simply a "theme," you don't have to make a ROM to change the boot screen and shut down. That doesn't fall under the definition of a ROM.
Interesting idea, though I haven't played the game in a while and don't remember what animation you're referring to. As the other poster politely mentioned, it wouldn't be a rom, but could probably be a fairly simple metamorph theme.
As for the animations, if they're part of videos from the game, there's a good chance they're stored as bink files somewhere so you could download the bink player and pull frames to use for the phone animations.

i think he meant theme... you should not be so condescending - especially as a sr. member.
ask clarifying questions rather than be snippy with a "definition"

You shouldn't assume anything based on a person's amount of post counts. The number of post counts doesn't change how a person thinks. I don't need to CLARIFY questions because I'm stating it since it is pretty obvious that it isn't a ROM.
@ajftl: You're just upset because I criticized on your thread about Angry Birds.

No. We need to be as condescending as possible to people that don't understand the difference between a 'rom' and a theme' and scare them out of the Developer's section. This topic does NOT belong here, and their topics don't belong here.

Then why does XDA has a successful forum and you dont?
my only point was that even if it is the wrong section - if someone can help, then be helpful if not, then don't.
we were all new once and if someone hadn't gone beyond the normal flame and redirect then we wouldn't be here contributing or helping.
just saying, we should help first then redirect and not be rude and condescending.
Yes OP this is the wrong section for development - True, OP what you are asking is not considered a rom.
i was a sr member once and before changing my handle and i used to try to help as much as i could regardless of whether the question was in the wrong place.

Thats all I ask
No you do not have to be as condesending as possible. I know the difference between a rom, and a theme. I making a rom, with a whloe new gui. The reason I wanted to make the rom instead of just the theme was to test the vibrants HD graphics. The type of gui I want to make can not just be apllied by a simple visual style change. I love this fourm and I have been here for the last 3 years. This fourm has taught me alot of the knowladge about phones and rom development I know today. Im sorry I dont post much or develop anything frankly, because I just dont have the time. Please dont ever assume that because someone doesnt elaborate what they mean that their "stupid" or dont know what their talking about. Anyway, as for the rom, I have made some progress. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of boot animations I could put in my rom, I was thinking one that would show Ezio behind a target and then leaping in to the air with his hidden blade and stab the person in the neck, then the next screen show the assassins creed logo and ad assassins creed rom. I have already made my gui and used an custom kernal to OC my rom to 1.2 gigaherz. Battery life is still a very big problem. Anyone have any ideas ?
Hey dady says, I love your pictire bro, that sould be googles logo. Lol.
sounds awesome, hope it works out for ya! i wish i could help with boot anims but i dont know how to make them. good luck~

All I gotta say is good luck hacking those .qmg files. They are what hold and run the boot sequence, and they have yet to be cracked which means you can't replace them.
The thread was moved to Q&A.
@all,
Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the OP that what he wants to do is theme a rom and not make an actual rom, instead of a 2 page bashing?

The OP was told this and he still wants to make a ROM.
OP, its going to be hard to get someone to help you on such a ROM, since most people probably have never played AC or are not big fans. Good luck.
Just wanted to post this here for anyone that is interested.. Please head to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/theming-101-t2844710
It is for ALL users NEW/SENIOR
Here is some of the OP by @Bubbajoe40356
Hello. I'd like to introduce myself. I am BubbaJoe40356 from the AT&T Note 3, Note, and Infuse forums. I have had several people PM me asking for help or information on starting to theme. So I decided to start a learning thread.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS: A place to gather the basics to get you started if you want to learn. A place to ask questions about theming and theming issues. A place to interact with Recognized and Unrecognized themers as well as people who are at your level or maybe the next level you will reach. A place you can learn from advanced, intermediate, and beginners, and maybe even yourself. A place where any theming question can be asked and hopefully answered. Keep in mind I am no expert. I will do the best I can, and I have enlisted the help of a few of my Teammates to help us out. We are all from Team Alliance.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOT: This is not a place to request themes or apps to be themed. This is not a place for flaming or negative opinions of others works.
WHO WILL HELP OUT: Myself,daveyannihilation, Tired Storeman, Mikeymopar, Nunhugger, sparky b, and hopefully a few others will be stopping in to help.
WHAT CAN I LEARN TO THEME? We expect to cover TW apps as well as other apps. 4.4 as well as 4.3
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? A little background on me. I started learning to theme just over 2 years ago. I released my first theme (A theme chooser theme) as a gift for myself and anyone else on my 50th birthday .. (so you are NOT too old to learn) with the help and guidance of a great friend and fellow "The Family" member ppalbicke who is truly the most patient man ever created lol. I am now on the forever locked AT&T Note 3, so no more Theme Chooser. So I am continually learning to theme TW apks and I keep intergrating other apps into the theme I want to keep building.
IS THIS A STRICK ON TOPIC STUFFY THREAD? Hell no.I want this thread to run a like every "favorite" thread I have been involved in. Light humor is not only permitted.. but encouraged. Trust me ... you will need humor as a stress relief for this stress relieving hobby.
So ... if your in ... tell your wives/husbands, boyfriend/girlfriend goodbye .. this will soon become an obsession. You will want to do nothing but make every app you see "purty". Trust me .. my wife hates my phone. "Why can't you just leave it alone dammit".

Sooo if you want to get into theming.. All aspects of it will be covered here.. No question is unwanted or laughed at.. We welcome all users to learn how to change the way their phone looks!!
Happy Theming!
Good videos to get you started..
Thanks for the find. I've been looking into this recently. The theme tips I've seen in the Original thread. But the videos I haven't. Time for some studying.

Glad you found it! Don't be afraid to pop in and ask questions if you have any
Now ive been having thoughts with my team mates and we were thinking of Big Wave Advantage for PVZ2*Plants vs zombies 2*...this is so far on android and may move to iOS but for now we're working with android.
This mod should be safe since the mod and game is free. the problem is that we need to figure out how to add the textures to the game ...and bytes because due to the game having a = to byte number limit *cant be more than or less than the number* so we need some help from people that have been around modding.
We have the tools APKtool,JD-GUI,dex2jar,if theres more tools we need please tell...but we really need the help...if you can. thank you.
the attachment below is a prototype icon of the mod.
Now if you dont know who i am,i came from the PVZwiki i am known as ADVENT there... i am a Zombie Expertise and i have teamed up with most of the wiki and we just need some help with some things.
i didnt really know where to post this...it was confusing since there was no "Modding Q&A"
Please? as said we got everything but we just need help.
The issue is that without access to their source code you are not gonna be able to do much at all.
