[hellgod]

Hy Guys,

Here is my first dev for the touch Diamond.
It is a kind of juggle ball game using tilt sensor SDK and XFlib.

It is just a test for me, so I don't kown if i will had time to improve it.

Ver 0.4.1 [11/01/2009]:
Added : Suport for Touch HD

Ver 0.4 [25/08/2008]:
Added : Now the backlight is allways on
Added : about screen

Ver 0.3.1 [22/08/2008]:
Added : You can chose if the camera follow the ball or the base
Added : Sound when ball hit the base

Ver 0.3 [21/08/2008]:
Added : Biggest playing aera

Ver 0.2 [10/08/2008]:
Added : Menu to select difficulty level


p.s. the game is also playable with stylus, so it is not reserved to the diamond

[Riel]

Hey, that plays quite allright!

First things to polish up would be a higher ball res, a nice background and another cooler paddle image. Bouncesound ? :P

But gameplay is pretty great already, well done !! Got it bouncing for about 5 minutes and enjoyed it :p

[Sergio PC]

Awsome gonna chek it out after the Dammm JOb!

Cheers and thanks!

[an123]

cool...will try it out asap

[Trem]

Pretty cool little app. Good work :)

[potiron4o]

Stupid question... But how to play?

[hellgod]

the scene is view by the top.. so move your phone to juggle with the ball

Video of the game here.

Great game.

May I suggest to the developer that he may want to also make the square bigger and smaller based on the height of the ball, and further make the background dynamic, so that it e.g. moves in the opposite direction to the ball, to exploit the paralax effect and give the user a feeling they are actually looking into a 3 dimensional box.

[hellgod]

tanks for the video and the review.
I will think about adding paralax effect in the next weeks !

update 0.3 (21/082008)

new playing aera !

[hellgod]

update 0.3.1 (22/082008)

Now you can chose if the camera will follow the ball or if it will follow the base!

I Need Help :
I hope some Dev will read this,
this game use the Tilt sensor, so the game goes to standby mode after few seconds because we don't touch screen. I don't kown how to prevent the standby mode, so if someone got an idea.....
(i use C language)



edit : the forum got a new section, so i guess my game is not in the right one, so moderator could you move this thread ! thanks

great work :)

this is c# - should work on c, too... found it on msdn and there should be an example for c, too... I just don't find the URL, so google may help (just enter something from below ;-))

public enum CEDevicePowerState
{
D0 = 0, //Full on
D1, //Low on
D2, //Standby
D3, //Sleep
D4, //Off
}

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr SetPowerRequirement(string device, CEDevicePowerState ceDevicePowerState, uint deviceFlags, IntPtr systemState, ulong stateFlags);

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern int ReleasePowerRequirement(IntPtr handle);

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern void SystemIdleTimerReset();



on the onload i do following:

IntPtr handle = SetPowerRequirement("BKL1:", CEDevicePowerState.D0, 1, IntPtr.Zero, 0);

to release it, try the 2nd handle...

I use a timer which ticks every 10 seconds and performs this:
SystemIdleTimerReset();

I don't know if it's necessary, but I think so... hope that helps...

[hellgod]

Thanks a lot Ageye !! it works !!

for information here is the code :

main.c :

...
...
#define POWER_DLL L"coredll.dll"

typedef enum _CEDEVICE_POWER_STATE {
PwrDeviceUnspecified = -1,
D0 = 0,
D1=1,
D2=2,
D3=3,
D4=4,
PwrDeviceMaximum=5
} CEDEVICE_POWER_STATE, *PCEDEVICE_POWER_STATE;

typedef HANDLE (WINAPI * PFN_SetPowerRequirement)(PVOID,CEDEVICE_POWER_STAT E,ULONG,PVOID,ULONG);
PFN_SetPowerRequirement pfnSetPowerRequirement;

typedef DWORD (WINAPI * PFN_ReleasePowerRequirement)(HANDLE);
PFN_ReleasePowerRequirement pfnReleasePowerRequirement;


const int POWER_NAME = 0x00000001;
const int POWER_FORCE = 0x00001000;
HMODULE hPowerlib;


...
...
...

int main(void){
...
...
hPowerlib= LoadLibrary(POWER_DLL);
pfnSetPowerRequirement = (PFN_SetPowerRequirement)GetProcAddress(hPowerlib, L"SetPowerRequirement");
pfnReleasePowerRequirement = (PFN_ReleasePowerRequirement)GetProcAddress(hPower lib, L"ReleasePowerRequirement");

HANDLE IntPtr = pfnSetPowerRequirement(TEXT("BKL1:"), D0, POWER_NAME | POWER_FORCE,NULL, 0);

...
...
pfnReleasePowerRequirement(IntPtr);
return0;
}

[ageye]

you're welcome!

[jack-2-jack]

I am very thanks.............:D:D:D

[maximo_lider]

Awsome. thanks! :D:D

[skynetent]

I have a problem with this game.
I copy it in the SD, and I execute it, but it has a problem.

The game doesn't work, and it enables the screen to send a report to microsoft.

I don't understand why it happens this.

Thanks a lot.

(sorry, my english is very bad).

Did you use a touch Diamond ?

[skynetent]

Oh sorry. I didn't mention it.

I use a HTC touch HD (blackstone)

Thanks.

Ha ok, I will make (In the next days ;)) the modifications to enable support for touch HD!

[skynetent]

Ok, thank you. I thought it was HD Ready (lol)

[NLS]

now that a catchy phrase - maybe someone will use it in the future :D :D :D

[andy andy]

Thanks you :)

[hellgod]

new build for touch HD !! (ver 0.4.1)

[gadgetuk437]

new build for touch HD !! (ver 0.4.1)
Not working on this HD I'm afraid (ROM 1.14xx), just get a wide black strip down the LHS of screen that eats my Start Button and doesn't give it back! (needed a S-reset to restore).

ver. 0.40 works fine when I use WVGAfix (displayed at 640x480)
HTH

[henbone11]

I love all of these types of games. Thanks m8. Very much appreciated.

[LaidbackLuc9]

I'm a noob, I'm sorry :(
But these are .zip files and somehow my diamond only reads .cab files...
How do I solve this?

Just unpack the ZIP file and copy to the device ;).

[NLS]

that was really complex... damn, I'd never figure that out

:P

level 1 worked fine,
tried lvl 6 next, got one hit, then it got stuck and after 2 min i had to reset my diamond.

[bestofstrongman]

i cannt play it on HD

[necrotek]

Is there any possibility of support for non touchscreen phones? my phone has a g-sensor but does not have a touch screen, so I can not get past the start screen.
