I admit that the game was still infant, graphics is still temporary for now, and for all of you who downloaded it thank you so much I really appreciate it. Its just that I am still very busy on my Job right now, and Hopefully we can clear everything out by the end of October, so I can focus more in finishing the game that I have started. Actually I have a lot of plans for that game, I alraedy have the roadmap for it and as of now I am 10% of the whole game that I have planned so.. please jsut keep in touch, remain the game uninstalled I will be updating that game little by little ..
Coding in Asp.net MVC
Jul 3rd
Its been more than 6 months now, I haven’t touch anything about C# MVC, I’ve been following asp.net mvc for 5 months, and I had created some web apps in my local drive, I have digested the concept of model-view-controller and transitioning to Zend Framework which is one of my current weapons right now is fast. Right now I have an Idea of a web application system that can give solution to project workflows and I want to deploy it in the cloud. I’ve done some UI design already and we are using it right now, although not automated since I just to the thing first in MS exel, but I want to deploy this system to the cloud because I find out that we have generated a very effective project management system here for project collaboration, even better than basecamp.
Well…. I still have a lot of projects to finish, I am targeting to finish my android game before the year ends, And still I haven’t find any resource that can be my reference on how to optimize java codes to run super fast in the Android Platfrom. The codes that I am using is super basic, and it cannot handle my game requirements, especially for animations.
I am very hungry already… have to go back home ASAP…. !!!!
Android Game Development
Jul 3rd
I downloaded the source code of replica island, an open source project by one of Google’s advocate for android game development,
The codes are scattered everywhere and I don’t know where to start. I tried reading his diary building the game and it doesn’t help anything.
I stop my development right now because of a very tight deadline I have in office, so I want to open source my code to the github but… sad to say… I am having some problem creating a
repository, I already installed the github client and create a key, but somehow I still can’t connect, and because time is running out I just leave the task unfinished, And finish it nextweek. Still I am not confident on how I code the game, I want to structure everything clean and apply the notion of encapsulation so that when the game scales, the codes will still be manageable on my part.

Next thing to do is implement threading and OpenGl for this before proceeding to scoring and connection to the internet, after the prototype is implementation of the real graphics designed for this game.

Liquid Effect for Android
May 22nd
Android runs on different devices and they have different screen width and height, building application is easy to layout because of xml driven layouts but when you build customized views use particularly for games, you need to be able to calculate the width and height of the device and layout your games coordinates accordingly.
I inherited this technique from my experience in flash development, pc monitors have different sizes so you need to have a liquid effect if you want to go full screen.
Got an Enemy already.
May 22nd
Now, the game already has an enemy, but I have a problem here, so before proceeding to the next phase, I need to recode everything so that the code will be manageable when this project kicks off.
How to Make Money on Android.
May 6th
Right now, I have uploaded a blank software in the android market title Manny Pacman Boxing Game, Even though it was a blank game (meaning no content yet) there are already 71 installs and 23 active installs – so meaning people are really searching for some stuffs in the android market, and competition in the android market is lesser compare to the App Store of Apple. And I am not confident yet to upload some stuffs in the App Store since Apple Guys are going to filter if your application pass their standards or not, and also, I don’t know how objective c look like, since I am a flash developers also and been following flash until action script 3 , I find it easy to adopt java since action script 3 was purely based on the java programming structure. Hopefully I can get more time to develop the game, I tried my sketching skills earlier today and to my surprise I can’t even draw a face… but no worries, maybe I can produce a graphic and design concept next month hu!hu!hu!.. so overwhelm with work right now.
(gutom na ku… ciao!!! )
New update about my Nexus One
Mar 13th
I reported the faulty Nexus One to one of its service centers here in Singapore, They say it will take them 3 working days to replace it with a new one. Yesterday, one of the HTC guys called me and said my new phone will be delivered on monday or tuesday but my engraved name on the back will not be restored. I forgot to ask the guy if the operating system will still be the latest android update, since the phone that google gave me has the latest version installed, it has multi-touch functionality.
I’ll just hope the new phone they will give me is a good one.
