[APP][04.22.09] Magic 8 Ball

[hermanm]

Saw a lot of requests for a nice looking Magic 8 Ball, so here you go.

Screen Support: VGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WVGA, should work well on others

How to use: Think of a question and shake the phone for a magic answer :-)

Notes: Shortcut to the game installs to the Games folder.

Comments/Suggestions are always welcome :-)

Hi:
Thanks for this very cool app
Installed well, and seems very cool.
The only problem is, the answers change before you shake, then you shake and get an answer, but they seem to keep changing even after you have shaken and gotten an answer. This makes it seem as though they are changing randomly, and that it is not the shaking causing the change. It seems that the ball should have a blank answer area until shaken, then display an answer after shaking, then stay on that answer unless shaken again.
Does this make sense? I am not sure if I have explained it clearly.
Thanks!

Hi:
I installed the new version. Now, I am having the opposite problem. I have to shake VERY hard for it to work.
Thanks again for all your hard work!
