[ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

Hi,

I created a game (Ball Game) in one week. I hope people will have a bit of fun with that.

Goal: Use your finger to push a ball to a hole on the screen. On higher levels, you have less possible attempts to push.
More details: It is adviced to read the tutorial text before starting the game.

The game is available in extras-devel.

Package for MeeGo tablets (Intel AppStore validation is still pending):
https://gitorious.org/balltouchgame/.../meego-tablets

Git repo:
https://gitorious.org/balltouchgame/balltouchgame

MeeGo Coding Competition page:
http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/17

Motivation: Showing the power of the Qt on different platforms.
Problems: The major problem was not the Qt itself, but the desktop etc integration differences on x86/N900 armel.
Result: I was very suprised, how quickly I could sketch this small game.
ToDo: Many things can be done for the better gaming experience. In first place, I would like to create a Symbian version as well.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

Thanks, the post has been updated.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

3 suggestions.

-its a little simple, maybe put some objects in the way?
-highscores table
-when you get the ball in, have a notification of some sort, like "goal!"

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

I have just uploaded a new version with haptics support for N900.

1. I thought about walls on higher levels. It would be fairly simple to add.
2. Yes, an item on the ToDo list...
3. Hmmm, It would be trivial to add, I will check it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

i dont know what's the problem .
but i started playing this game and playing the second level the game it self shuts down :$

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

how about a major update and make the ball in 3D ?
and don't mind this suggestion if you didn't like it, but dragging the ball into a sniper icon in my opinion is better replaced by a small pool stick and maybe make the ball smaller without the whole pool concept and with only the red ball and the attemps counting, just my humble opinion :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

same happaned to me too!!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

Thanks for the feedback! The Phonon aborted because of a wrong file name after the first loop of the music. I have just released a hotfix. It should show up after ~30 minutes in the repositories.

Thanks for the suggestion! Well, the N900 is already enough slow with this version. The whole game is much better/smooth on e.g ExoPC Slate. I do not plan the introduction of the 3D view.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

much much appreciated ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

Please tell me if the fix will not work...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

added in repositories ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

As I told, yes, it should show up soon. :)

I think it should be already there. The build was successful 20 minutes ago.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

ohh wait lemme check :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

perfect ;)
but yeah a question .
how to pause the game ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
 

If you tap and hold for half second anywhere on screen in the game, you get a menu and the game can be minimized. Also written in the Tutorial. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ball Game
