Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Got latest version. Looks like the "ubertube counter" is now reset when you clear the grid through the menu option. But maybe it's not decremented when you clear a peg with an ubertube using the long-tap.

Example:
Place three ubertubes on grid
place other game pieces on pegs with ubertubes
clear one of the pegs with an ubertube - using long-tap
try to add ubertube to any peg: you get the "too many ubers" error message.

Thanks again... this is a pretty cool app!

Thank you very much, I'll try the second option after I get out of school later. I'll cross my fingers! :)

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Yes, but the typically small screen size of android devices makes putting two or more grids on the same screen incredibly impractical. I do however have a plan for this and am hoping the app will support using all four grids by tomorrow evening.

@Hallry- Darist hit the nail right on the head. Since CD doesn't allow for uploading .apk files, I had to zip it first. Thus you need to unzip it before it will work.


@Darist- Long pressing resets the uber count correctly for me. EDIT: Never mind, found the bug. Only happens with a game piece on an ubertube. Fixed in latest release (see main post).

The Droid screen is 480x854 while the G1 is 320x480 reference. You probably need to utilize the drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-ldpi to get the correct image drawn on different devices. As long as you name the files in those directories correctly, it will automatically select the correct resolution for the device it's running on. If you switch to direct draw, that problem goes away, however, you need to be careful about the size values that you use so that they scale properly to other resolutions.

You can (and should) create multiple emulators of different screen resolutions to make sure things look right.

I've never tested the keyboard event in the emulator, but from what I've read, people seem to say CTRL-F11 triggers the keyboard open/close event. I've used that to change orientation, but maybe it also changes the keyboard as well. You can test this easily by throwing a breakpoint in your config change handler and checking out the contents of the config object.

As far as your comment about the screen size being small, I have to disagree. If you force your layout to be landscape, you have as much horizontal room as you need. Then, maybe don't draw giant images for your tubes. Rather, direct draw smaller shapes to fit more on the screen. I'm sure that you'll be able to get more on there and make it useful. As a tip, when you're direct drawing something like this, make it all based on constants so you can quickly change things like peg radius, peg x/y grid spacing. etc

You can get quite a bit on the screen in landscape mode if you don't care about multitouch (if you think there are differences between screen resolutions, you should see the differences in multitouch capability).

Well I downloaded the ES File Manager, and it works perfectly now. Thanks a bunch! :D

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Be sure to edit the app to not double the ubertube autonomous score with a covering logo row, per Team Update #1.

A logo row covering 3 ubertubes on a top row would be worth an autonomous score of 18 plus a peg score of ([3+3+3] * 2 * 2) = 36.

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

So therefore the maximum score for the top row would be 54 points?

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Yes, that would make the maximum score for the top row 54.

Attached is the latest version of the app, which contains two major updates. First, it addresses the updated scoring rules as per team update #1. Second, I introduced all four scoring grids. You can now swipe left or right to access the other scoring grids.

As of right now, the only remaining feature I have planned is landscape support. If anyone has any other features they would like to see, I would be more than willing to consider requests!

Finally, this app will be released to the market once I have a suitable icon. I should be able to release it to the market tomorrow.

Would it be possible to add in something to take into account minibots?

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Definitely!

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

So I got the es file explorer on my phone and downloaded the app however it says no app found. Droid x

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Did you make sure to extract the .apk from the .zip first?

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

The process of extracting the file in ES File Explorer is not exactly straight forward. Here's my poor attempt at explaining it:

1. Use ES file explorer to navigate to where the zip file was saved (probably the Downloads folder in the SD card)
2. Long-tap on the LogomotionScorer.zip file. Menu pops-up
3. From the pop-up menu, select "Extract To"
4. Choose "Current Path". LogoMotionScorer.apk file is extracted in the same folder (probably downloads).
5. Tap the LogoMotionScorer.apk file to install the app (you need to allow "unknown sources" in your settings for it to install successfully).

Good luck.

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

I got the latest version (I think!) and I like the multiple-grid deal, where you swipe to switch from grid to grid! Cool beans!

I noticed something weird though with the LOGO BONUS... it is tripling the peg score. Shouldn't it double it?

For example:
put a triangle, circle, square on the bottom row to make a logo. The score should be 6 (right?). The app is now giving me 9.

Also, it may be a good idea to start putting the version number on the zip file now that there have been several of them posted.

Re: Logomotion Scorer Android App
 

Good catch. Fixed below.

I will start including version numbers as well (they've all had versions, the number just hasn't been visible).
