Android :: Remember My Whines About Lack Of Android Game Framework?
Aug 17, 2010
"Windows Phone and XNA. Nightmare is real. What we do with that ?" http://groups.google. com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.M$ just yesterday announced over 50 games for his Windows Phone 7 platform: http://www.engadget.com/2010 /08/16/xbox-live-launch-titles-for-window.Till this day, I was convinced, WP7 will die. But now, with Xbox Live network and really serious and great developers game support, I can tell, Android with its crappy games is going DOWN on this field. Some of you have say, that real android gaming framework is not necessary. I think, in 3 - 5 months, M$'s WP7 will beat Android in gaming.This is the price for ignorance of your enemy potential. I'm afraid, Google will create gaming framework, when it will be just too late. Games ARE so important. Windows wins all battles, mainly becuase of games. Every osx/linux fan can tell you this.

Prior to taking my Dinc swimming, I had an addictive little game where you had to line up these spheres that were connected by colored bonds. You had to line up all the colored bonds so that all the spheres were connected and there were no free bonds. Kind of like chemistry, but fun.Can anyone tell me the name of this game?

I think, Android needs a game framework. Something like SDL or more, XNA from Microsoft. Of course, we can use Canvas to draw, but it is slow. We can use OpenGL, but after two days of learning I still do not know how to draw f** background. Of course, I will do that. Some day :) But state and flags-ful OGL interface is really hard to understand if you go from wonderful world of objective thinking. I just want to focus on creating art, not wondering how to create tools for that.
I'm worrying, really worring about Android and games. M$ has XNA, porting it to Zune with Tegra. After that, XNA will come to WinMo. If you ever used C# and XNA, you know, how simple and great it is. What does it mean ? Thousands of games for Microsoft Mobile Junk and still no great games for Android. Worst. Many Android developers will go to WinMo for XNA. Many games will be easily ported from Xbox Arcade too. And we will be wasting time, wondering, how to get 25fps from Canvas or OpenGL. Without sound. Now, I think, is the time to do something with that. Android really needs something like XNA, to allow us producing games without all that technic stuff like OpenGL, game loops with managing threads, times, buffers, right pixel format settings and others. What you think about official game framework for Android?

I am a beginner in Android game development, while searching i found Rokon, a framework for android game development. It has very nice five tutorials for beginning, done that all now i need some more tutorials so that i can learn more, some more complicated tasks. Now where to find other resources to continue on Rokon, or if there exists some other framework with more available tutorials?

I've been working on a game framework for a little while, and while its far from perfect, I've put the current version online. To be honest, I haven't used much OpenGL in the past. Before last week I had never tried using it. If anyone would like to take a look, please do, I'd appreciate all the help possible on speeding it up. There are many features I have in mind and am planning at the minute, but so far it supports:
# Texture and Sprite management # Text, using TTF fonts # Organised layers # Two audio management classes, one optimized for music, the other for sound effects # Sprite dynamics (acceleration, terminal velocity, collisions) # Animation # Handlers to manage events fired through movement, animation, screen touches, accelerometer input, device shaking and collisions # Several minor features aimed at speeding development, such as screen settings and vibration.

I just bought my HTC Aria yesterday for AT&T, and I was wondering if it's possible to get Swype despite my lack of side loading?

Has anyone with a MyTouch/Magic tried any of the nesoid/snesoid/negsoid/gameboid emulators? Is there a way to get in touch with the developer to see if he's working on, or planning on working on, new versions to handle the lack of a keyboard?

I've recently bought a HTC Wildfire and absolutely loved it and the concept of android.But as a long-time computer user the seeming lack of security is freaking me out a bit.I've read the guidelines about what services and application has access to, but just about every single application asks for access to things that are worrying.So it's mostly a matter of install and pray.The advice is, to listen to android community feedback about particular applications. Obviously some applications have become well known and legitimate. But unless I'm mistaken, there doesn't seem to be any way to find out if any application is Malware.the only way a person would know, is if they had their identity stolen, their passwords stolen, or money stolen from their bank account.

Is there anyway for the phone to remember my password, so that when it tries to connect to the WiFi, it will NOT ask me to enter the password. It is a hexadecimal number and it is frustrating me when I have to enter it every few minutes when the phone finds a different network, then wants to switch back to mine.

I have a square grid, for a turn based game ( grid is similar to the chess board ), but the moves in the games are different based on whether you have lapped your opponent pawn at least once or not.i.e if you have not lapped (beaten any of the opponents pawns) in the outer most grid as below.if you have lapped your opponent pawn once at least, then you get to reach home,this way.Any player having all his pawns reaching "home" first wins.The ones in yellow are safe-houses, i.e both the opponent pawn and the player's pawn get to stay in the same grid, this is not considered to be lapping ( the opponent ).The lapped pawn will return to its start point.Now the question is, what is the effective way to store the paths for the all the pawns.we will have 4 pawns for the player and 4 opponent pawns.Is there any pattern to store such static information, in a elegant way?

I have a puzzle game with a 7x7 grid of graphics, and a timer, its just about ready to go. But I am stuck on how to go about saving/continuing game. For example when someone exits I want them to be able to save and exit, then come back and click continue to pick up where they left off with all of the graphics in the right place, timer and score. I looked at onSaveInstanceState android examples, but not sure if this is what I need or how to implement it in my case.

1. My app opens a web view, with a web page that requires a username & password. 2. The user writes his password, and on the Android popup to remember the password he chooses "remember". 3. Now the user wants to log in with a different password. But the web view always remembers his last password and doesn't even show him the login page. How can I programmatically clear that saved password? Assuming that I know the host URL. I tried webView.clearCache(true), webView.clearFormData(). But it didn't work.

Today I made the mistake of setting a pattern lock, and with my horrible memory this did not go well. I could not remember it and after several tries I decided to hit the "forgot password." It asked for my gmail account, and I do not remember creating one, after many tries, I gave up. Is my only option a hard reset? I have a samsung moment.

I am making a basic WebView app that will load a web page. This web page requires log in information. When I navigate out or refresh the page it logs me out. How do I stay logged in? The following code is my attempt based on some research but apparently I am not understanding the concept. And so I can kill two bird with one stone, can someone let me know how to prevent a refresh of the page when you rotate your phone? is this possible?
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("www.randomurl.com");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().startSync();
CookieManager.getInstance();

first of all I don't know if it is HTC's fault of Android's fault. I think it is Android's fault, Ok, yesterday my girlfriend send me SMS. As you all know that the little led flashes for a couple of minutes and then switches off. Hence, I missed that SMS. I was in a meeting So I came from the meeting, took all my gear and left in hurry because I didn't want anyone to stop me and start talking about yada yada yada on my way back to gym. Hence, I didn't check my SMS. She called me which I failed to see as I was in gym and then in shower. Then I went out with buddies to local bar. She tried to send me SMS again which I again failed to see. Now at 21:00, she arrived unexpectedly at my home when I just arrived back a couple of minutes before. Long story short, I was being interrogated that why I didn't see her missed call and missed SMS? As I was aware of lack of SMS/missed call notification, I decided not to tell the truth as she probably wouldn't understand. Fortunately, I had this broken phone prank installed in my phone which I ran and showed her that my phone was broken. I had some stone age Samsung before (BGH-100 or something) which wouldn't shut up till I would see the message. I also had Eten M700 whose led will keep blinking like a nagging wife till I would see the screen.Tell me how can I solve this problem? how to make that tiny little led keep blinking till I see the SMS or I see the missed call? Also, how can I make phone "beep" about missed SMS after every 5 minutes? I am afraid that us men are going to face a lot of interrogations from their lovers at home.

I find it amusing how many Senseless ROMS are popping up. The majority of all ROMS thus far are Senseless and I don't really get it. The main reason I sold my MotoDroid to get the HTC Incredible was for SenseUI and now everybody is wanting to ditch it. I need more Sense ROMs to play with and theres just nothing to choose from. SO I figured I would start a poll and see if I am the only one. So is it a Sense or Senseless ROM preference?

I'm sure there is a learning curve to the HTC/Android keyboard. I have an iPod Touch so I feel I have some bad habits to break.While typing fast I find I often miss the space key, (I hit the space but it does not register.) Upon closer examination I realized it has everything to do with lack of multi-touch. If my left thumb is not off the last key fast enough the space bar will not be registered with my right. (if that makes sense.)I'm definitely loving the extra space and I feel like I'm just one hang-up away from being a very fast typer.

First time poster as I'm only just preparing myself for my first Android mobile I'm considering purchasing the HTC Tattoo, but one thing has me worried. In all the reviews I read they note the lack of apps on Android Market for the Tattoo, due to it's lower resolution - is this still an issue? I've read numerous reports stating the issue has been fixed but I'm not quite sure what to believe.

Did you see that Bell wireless is discontinuing their HTC Legend phones because of screen shortages. They are not taking any more orders for Legends'. Hmmmm.... makes me wonder how long before our incredible Incredibles' follow. We could soon all be owners of a very rare breed though! Might increase re-sale value.
