[APP] DiamondFlute & The New SpaceInvaders. Developers, look here!

[JesperO]

Shouldn't this be able to get "ported" to our Diamond? :D

iPhone Ocarina (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSX6isV22QM)



So yeah, we've come up with 2 great application/game ideas;

1. The DiamondFlute "one finger on the screen, pressing to any note; and the other finger is turning around the D-PAD and changing the sound like a trombone!! so not discrete but continous sound change like a theremin!! (pls search for what a theremin is)

ofcourse microfone is also the starting point of workflow!!"

2. The New SpaceInvaders "a shooter where there come stuff towards you, while you blow you shoot and then you aim by using the accelerometer; tilting the phone either left or right."
(see attached image of how I imagine it to look like)

multitouch ==> might be a problem for our Diamond

[JesperO]

oh right, totally forgot about that. Still, would be cool if someone could do an app that uses the microphone as the iPhone Ocarina does.

multitouch ==> might be a problem for our Diamond Has anyone developed a program that uses the cap pad/screen combo? If you were able to assign a virtual mouse using the cap pad and have the other screen element (note) activated by touch, you could have "two" keys to play... Kind of a cheesy method, but you get the point.

Wow! I was just thinking the same thing! Like use the capactive d-pad + touch screen. Lol.

capacitve pad is a reosta!!! So here is the idea!!

one finger on the screen, pressing to any note; and the other finger is turning around the D-PAD and changing the sound like a trombone!! so not discrete but continous sound change like a theremin!! (pls search for what a theremin is)

ofcourse microfone is also the starting point of workflow!!

Good idea but who will do this! :)) the guys doing for iphone earn quite good money, but for wm, that's not the way so...

Sounds awesome and actually doable.

do you mean like a portamento/glide/slide?

Actually, I think more games and fun apps can be made with the "microphone-blow" feature. For example a space-invader like game where you accelerate by blowing. Or a shooter where there come stuff towards you, while you blow you shoot and then you aim by using the accelerometer. (Now I really want the last example I came up with, would be pretty cool). :D

I'll make a concept art-image for it tonight so you'll see what I mean and if some developer happens to read this. :)

I thought the Diamond did have multi-touch support, its just not enabled because Apple will freak out, you know, because they own everything to do with it.....

Sama with the G1

Here's the image if anyone's interrested. The purple thingies are the bad guys and you shoot those white rings. You aim by tilting the phone either left or right (the black ring aint moving I imagine it to be more like gravity like when you aim)and shoot by blowing into the microphone (I guess it's the microphone they use in the iPhone Ocarina?).

Does this sound appealing?
