Game Helper Feedback

Thanks everyone who downloaded and tested Game Helper

So far the feedback is 

feedback:
- to me, starting with one die, then adding more makes more sense than starting with 15 on the screen.
- would be nice to have the dice scale to fit the screen (e.g. a single die will take up full screen)

features ideas:
- use the accelerometer so you can shake the phone the roll the dice.
- use volume buttons (or user defined button) for counter as additional input (so you don’t need to look at screen to action).

 stats button seems to do nothing?

I am working on accelerometer and adding the volume buttons. Starting with one die 

Scaling the die will take a bit.

The stat screens is just a place holder for now. Was thinking of storing all of the dice rolls.

Keep the comments coming :)

Some tiny mile stones and stats

The Peek A Who app passed 300 downloads :)
The LD48 App also passed 300 downloads

funny stat
the Game Helper App has made six cents from ad revenue

Horrible stat

LD48 Rapup

The game http://script-blocks.googlecode.com/files/ScriptBlocksEscapeLD48_21_B2.zip

Now that I have gotten some sleep :) I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. This was my first LD48 and it was fun.
I learned a lot in the last two days.  The hardest part for me was not adding more features.  I had to take out some "Fun" elements of my game but I wanted something that worked above all.
One other note my submission has a WINDOWS Link but the link should work on Linux, Windows and Mac since its java.
Good:
Jmonkey was easy to use.

Hydrogen Drum Machine was cool.
Gimp rocked.
Blender 2.5X was awesome


Bad:
Loading Images in Jmonkey have a weird Flip By default. So I had to make my Letters Backwards.
Blender exporter to Ogre xml puts a capital "F" on False so the xml parser cries.

LD48 Done!

Making a Lock and Key inside Script Blocks

I was talking with a friend at the San Antonio Hacker Space (10bitworks.com) and he was explaining to me how keys and locks work.  Now that I have the limited range finders I want to incorporate some sort of Key(BlockShape) and Lock(Range Finders hooked up to Logic Blocks).

Let me know if anyone has any Ideas.

Link on how locks work.

Working on Memory Game MemAWho

I am working on  aAndroid Memory Game MemAWho

While you wait try one of our other games

https://market.android.com/search?q=scriptblocks&so=1&c=apps

Script Blocks Alpha 13

I am trying a create a level system using the Menus.

I went with a Play  , Reload Level, Next Level  Buttons.

To get to the old menu and game style use the Sandbox Button.

There are 3 playable  and 2 Visual levels.

I also added a Limited Range Finder Block  who's distance is determined by its frequency.

Please  download the latest and let me know what you think and what I should change.

Android Notes:

The emulator does not have a android market so calling

 Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://search?q=scriptblocks"));
    startActivity(myIntent);
Will throw a ActivityNotFoundException,  But will work fine on a real device


When using the Canvas make sure to not Load a Resource on a doDraw method.
I was having memory leaks / To many files open because every redraw was reopening the file.

Ogg file format is a lot smaller then wav.

We now have two android apps on the market.
