I tried to play tanks for a while, but could never get anyone to actually play. I think I managed to initiate one game and it ended with me making my first turn. Edit: Sweet new game edit - Free action-RPG mech game called Titan up in the marketplace. IcedPee fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Jan 26, 2012 |

My first (free) WP7 app just got released to the marketplace! http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/9d992395-59ab-4920-bf5a-6199573de6e9 It's basically an attempt to replace Libra, the weight tracking app, which doesn't seem to be on WP7 yet. It tracks your weight (daily entry) and gives statistics like high/low weight, average, etc. The "killer feature" is the trending though. It uses the Hacker's Diet as a guideline and creates a trend line, smoothing out any sudden jumps or losses in weight. I guess it's based on the stock market and "moving averages". I'm pretty excited to have it up there. There's some issues I already know about, the first being how freaking awkward it is to input new weights. My bad. The "add" button is hidden in the application button bar and that isn't cool. It's awkward. One of my first updates will be moving the button next to the weight textbox.

Whoops, yes I can. http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=9d992395-59ab-4920-bf5a-6199573de6e9 For some reason the app is reporting it needs access to the music library, which is false. I'll clean that stuff up. I also need to clean up the "first time use" view, as when there's no data in the graph it goes nuts on the labeling.

Stubb Dogg posted:When you resubmit it, make it also available globally, it seems to be restricted to US only? Someone else mentioned this earlier. Was not intentional, definitely didn't want to restrict region. I was admittedly in a rush because I like the idea of getting something out there and tweaking it. Too many times I've started projects and given up when I couldn't make them perfect - now it's out there so I'll just keep improving it.

Are you also planning on adding support for units besides pounds? Kilograms would be useful once you opened the app up outside the US. For some reason I enjoy weighing myself in stone so I'll request that too.

For some reason I enjoy weighing myself in stone so I'll request that too. Yup, that's on my ToDo list. Once I get user settings support that's the second thing going in (the first being height settings for BMI calculations). Trickily the graph itself doesn't use units, so the graphing aspect is a nobrainer, it's really just labeling the user-input. And possibly conversions if/when people switch units.

Can I please redesign a logo for you? I personally think logos are a huge first impression (I rarely download an app that I feel has a cheap logo) and that one sort of turns me off.

BonoMan posted:Can I please redesign a logo for you? Haha, I know what you mean. If I was more graphical/artistic I would do it, but then I probably wouldn't have gone into programming in the first place. All the colors and stuff in the program (besides the logo and random loading screen, because I didn't have a logo) are just the theme colors, so they'll change depending on user settings. If you want to design a logo that would be awesome. PM me if you are serious, as there's some style guidelines they enforce.

I'm trying to learn XNA studio so I can make some games that I'd actually like to play, but I'm finding it hard to sit down and code in the evening after I spend all day coding at work when it's just me coming up with the ideas and the execution (and the artwork. Seriously, gently caress 3D modeling and texturing). Anyone have any interest in starting a goon project? Difficulty: no zybourne clock.

Seriously, gently caress 3D modeling and texturing). Goon projects are like text in Metro. What scope are you looking for? Like, a simple game with inventive mechanics or something with a Tolstoy narrative? I suppose a goon project if viable if you've got a creative cut-off point and clear enough definition of task distribution. If you're up for that I can do some modeling and texturing for you. (Simple stuff, though. No characters or things of that nature due to lack of skill.) AtomD fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jan 27, 2012 |

Maybe the ad on the bottom to match most other apps? Make it say "No. of days tracked" instead of "# of days..." - Third screen: Align the date field with the list below it. Maybe try to align the "lbs" with the entry field, possibly formatting it as if it'd belong to it.

Combat Pretzel posted:Bunch of suggestions for its visual design: Thanks! I'm actually working on version 1.1 right now. The ads are on top because I'm still learning how the UI layout stuff works in XAML, I originally tried to place it on the bottom but the other elements just overlapped it, so I put it on the top and that seemed to work. The accent color is a great idea, I'll see if I can do that. Also the removing of the graph frame is a good idea too, right now I'm more or less just using the default values. I also want to remove the actual data points for the trend graph, and add a small buffer to the top/bottom of the graph (right now the top of the chart = highest value, bottom = lowest value, I think a small buffer would make it look better). As far as the alignment of the fields on the weight log page, I'm working on that now. I'm removing the + menu button and making it a static page-based button, but once again I'm wrestling with UI layout in XAML, I'm too used to standard HTML/CSS style layouts. Learning process! Also fixing some bugs (like the fact that the labels on the graph look like crap when you get more then around 15 entries, that's already fixed!), adding in some more statistics, hopefully getting settings like height/goal weight and calculating when you'll reach the goal weight. I also want to break the statistics page up into groups to make it easier to scan for what you want, rather than just a long list. And a goon is making me a real logo!

If I had to guess, the data's put as TextBlocks in a Grid. You could nest that in another Grid with just two rows. Put the data grid on row 0, the ad on row 1 with VerticalAlignment to Bottom. Myrddin Emrys posted:The accent color is a great idea, I'll see if I can do that. <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextAccentStyle}">...</TextBlock> That'd do it. All explicit styles come with margins, tho. You might have to override them, if necessary.

Combat Pretzel posted:Depends whether you're using a StackPanel or Grid for layout. And yeah, I'm using the Static Resource accent styles to color the weight log entries already, I still need to learn about inline text formatting (if it even exists) or if I'll need to apply it to a whole textblock or whatever. But I'm having fun learning.

You need to make sure you've set the row and column attributes correctly. If controls seem to be overlapping, they're not set correctly, both to the same value making controls land in the same cell, or not at all.code:As far as inline formatting goes, that works by wrapping text sections in a TextBlock in Span's.

I just got pulled into two bands in the last couple of days, so after this week, I'll have a better idea of how much free time I'm going to have to devote to XNA studio. Ideally, I'd like to do something of a 3d space sim wherein you mine resources, buy/sell/deliver goods, and occasionally fight, but with very simple gameplay, like clicking on an asteroid to begin mining rather than actually piloting your ship. You know, the more I describe that, the less fun it seems to sound.

I'm debating swapping my windows phone back to my work number. The big issue i have, and the only main one with windows, is just maps support. Bing maps sucks, and even though I get Telenav at no charge, I hate their windows app. Any better solutions out there? I'll even consider paying if its good enough.

Thanks I reposted it from here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-Phone-BETA/Skype-0-2-0-0-Beta-for-Windows-Phone/td-p/525371 I tried to dig through some of the reports on the skype forum, but they are mostly unintelligible. There are also a couple of minor bugs that people have reported related to hardware keyboards that probably don't affect many people. Also, some people have complained about bluetooth integration not working properly, but I haven't had a ton of trouble yet. Edit: Also, it's mentioned somewhere deep in a skype for WP7 FAQ but you have to have a country code listed for someone for an entry to show up in the skype phonebook. From my own experience, only one number will show up per contact though, so you can control which one shows up by adding the country code only to the mobile or home number.

It's like getting the last wave of the previous level as the very first wave. edit: The original GeoDefense, that is.

I'm a big fan of WeatherLive.
