Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

attached an image with an error. have done the previous apt-get commands. any ideas?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

@noobmonkey, can you try

as root? There is a new version of qt in repos.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Worked like a dream :D - thank you again hopbeat!

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Cool So I've got the new version.

I've tried whisling and nothing happens other than my work mates laughing at me he he he

Also I noticed when I exited the game, my phone refused to stop being a sheep, and continued to baaa, also pretty funny to be honest he he he

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Sorry but I genuinely laughed out loud at this one. The idea of not being able to turn off the baaing... put the phone in your pocket, go to work.. Baa!

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

I have to admit the sound effects are just amazing - had the same issue at lunch - couldnt shut it down!
But hit the power button and ended the app in the end.

What a great app it is turning out to be (Not that i ever thought otherwise!)

Loving the animations too! - will have a proper play later! :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Yeah Noobmonkey thats exactly what I did :-)

I love this app it is truly awesome from the sounds to the graphics great work by all so far :-)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

@Everyone, thanks for those bug reports.
I will make the fixes and make a short video showing the whistling thing, it should work for you, just a matter of catching on :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Here's a video of how the game works for me:

As you can see, the whistling can be laggy and not perfect, but it works.
I'm trying to reproduce the errors you are writing about but, unluckily, the game is quite stable for me. Will keep trying and fixing :)

I really need to borrow N93 for making those videos. This one is from N97, it gives you impression how shty camera is there.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Hopbeat, I love you.

With everything else going on round here tonight, you are recording video of whistling at your phone to pen sheep! I'm honestly not sure whether you are Nero fiddling while Rome burns or Jeremiah buying a field in the middle of a war zone as a prophecy of hope (Jer: 32)

Maemo may crash and burn but Hopbeat? revenons à nos moutons - baa! Keep to what really matters. ;)

'Scuse the rambling. I'm on leave and was planning to finish the left over Christmas alcohol this week... then this evening I kind of got carried away. ;)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

@RevdKathy, I'm sorry, but there are so many thing to do that I don't really find the time to worry. Sheep need love, no matter what.
Although my other projects also do, so I will put the sheep to sleep for a week now.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

That is so, so wise. The sheep still need taking out to pasture, grazing and careing for regardless of what else happens. Thank you.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Sadly I couldn't watch the video... my dog seriously hated the whistling! I shall have complaints from the neighbours about the barking! :D

I shall have a go myself. Maybe when he's not around. ;)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

The video helped me loads, I like the touch, makes the game harder.

I'll look after the sheep on my phone while you are away :-)

I would vote for MeeSheep. Where can I subscribe? :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Hello Everyone,

after some solid winter sleep, sheep are waking up :)

I have an important question to ask: how do guys see the future development of sheep? Should we:

a) keep implementing new options (fix whistling a bit, add controls with camera, multiplayer etc.), not necessarily polishing everything (skipping 'boring' parts like nice menu, stability etc.) or

b) should we focus on polishing on what we have and add only small changes

This is a choice between playground (testground) and aiming into real application. Simply speaking, I don't have enough time capacity to take care of both (if there is anyone interested in helping with the actual code, don't be shy to shout :) )

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Nobody? Sheep got forgotten? :(

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Good question. My instinct is to say Go for Both, but obviously I have no skills to offer in doing that.

What do others think?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

I would say go for the polish and release a good game onto extras.

If time permits, new options and changes can be added in the future to make the game even better.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

I would say for now is just focus on polishing the code and game.. because although it's fun to play it's kind of slow.. etc. So polishing it up making it look nice too would make this game even better!

But again, this is my 0.02 cents! :)

Good job anyways on the game and keep up the great work hopbeat!

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Ok, so I shall work on polishing the application and making it more user friendly. Stay tuned :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

/me has also had head down during silly season at work :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

What is Happening with the sheep? Did they all fall asleep?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Nope, sheep are not asleep, maybe a bit lazy at the moment. Check the other thread to see that there is some work on the menus and general polishing.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Baaaa! I think they're safely grazing at the moment, aren't they?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

I hope that the sheepdog in the game will be called Rover. It will be, won't it ;) ?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

You can call him Rover if you like. :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

But, but, that was the N900's pre-release codename supposedly! I thought I was being clever :(

P.s. I probably will anyway ;)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

is it possible to do a roundup of all media assets (pictures/sound clips) found in this thread.
someone just run through this thread and make a wiki page with them?

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

I would vote for FIDO. :rolleyes:

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

just thought, it should be mostly the other thread
(artists and designers wanted..)

everything from both would be even more ideal really
