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...

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.
Anyone know a good source for ready-made qHD wallpapers for the Atrix?
good question, for now i have been playing with the droid x2 wallpapers since it has a qhd screen.
Honestly, I'm not really even sure what qHD means, but the market app HD wallpapers library works perfectly on my Atrix. They all look very clear and are nice and big, etc.
qHD is one quarter HD or 540 x 960, most wall paper is 1080 x 960 so you can scroll left and right, pretty much anything close to a 1.125/1 ratio will work but of course the lower rez ones will not look as good blown up to 1080/960
It will force you to choose(at least I have not found a way around it) a 1.125/1 chunk out of a picture so if you upload something with a more widescreen ratio you will loose some of it.
The rest is mostly ascetics, do you put the object of focus over all the screens, limit it to the center 1/3, have something hiding to the far right or left, a lot of stuff to play around with.
p.s. here are some links most work well for the atrix

My small project might help!

Thanks for the links.
Is there a way to copy all the wallpapers from the dropbox link that you posted to my dropbox account? I want all of them and saving each file at a time is driving me crazy.

I am not aware of a way to get them all in one batch, I just came across those links, never used dropbox much so not sure if there is a work around or not to batch download
Hello, we have to invent a new product for our Arts Class, we tought we could combine technology with fashion,
Our idea is the LCD Shirt, made from the thinnest and flexible lcd display, it's a good idea, but we have to make a promotional video and maybe someone could help us out make a simple APK that would for example change the t-shirts color or place pictures on the lcd, it will not work of course, the app should be fake xD but with a little work in adobe after effects the changes made on the phone will become visible for real.
We already have a little design for the app but any suggestion would be good, the graphics can be changed at any time with default android backgrounds or buttons.
So any willing developer with some free time would want to make this little app for us?
Edit: I originally post this in the "Android themes" forum and it got swamped by the traffic that place receives. So here's another post for my S4 brethren.
These are some wallpapers I've made over the years. I'm no photoshop pro, but I like to dabble with it and see what I can come up with. It's all original work, except for the planet earth which is an actual pic from space. The photos of the car are mine so i'm considering that original work as well Hope you can find some screen space for one of them.
Older/lower res
Hi everyone. I have an issue with my mipad. videos, images, etc. look noticeably compressed. Also, when I played GTA:SA, the sky looked absolutely horrible, it was just a bunch of colored rectangles changing colors rather than a smooth gradient.
Colors in games in general look pretty bad. This has been annoying me for some time so I decided to finally ask about this issue here.
I'm running lineage 14.1 w/ shield blobs.
What I tried to do: set the PPI in build.prop to 324 (that's what specs say), but it didn't help.

P.S. my english's not very good and probably my description is a bit confusing, so please feel free to ask if you need clarification
