WM calculator

Hi Guys,
I am thinking about programming my own calculator for Windows Mobile.
The idea is to get pretty much the same functionality as a normal windows calculator, but then in the mobile version.
Have the main functions in the screen and then at the bottom get a button to pop up a panel with other functions, sorted by calculation type.
I am still open for suggestions, what functionality to put in there.
Btw, I have been thinking about putting the Memory functionality in there or not. Let me know how often you use it.
Feel free to give me input.
Expect the first (basic) version soon.
V0.1 is there. No need to install, just copy right onto ur mobile, will make a .cab file for next update, but don't have time to do that now.
Let me know what you think, looks will change, thinking about having the same lay-out as wm6.5 calculator with the hex letters at the bottom. lemmeknow.

Using HTC calculator.
Sufficient functionality and very pretty design.

what will be different in you calculator other than whats already there in the htc calculator??

I didn't know about the HTC calculator, so I don't know what functionality that one has.
But I will make one that can switch between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal. And I want all the functionality while in portrait mode.

can you use WM6.5 clacas a base ??
it's beautyful and colourful
only request: HEX <-> DEC conversion

I've started completely over and implemented HEX already, I can probably recreate a similar user interface, won't be completely the same, there I have added the HEX chars (A...F) in the main screen as well, but I still think it's still easy enough to press the buttons.

YES!!!
YES!!! make one! I had the old Winmo version which was brilliant for functionality but **** for design. the htc version looks great, but i hate hate hate the fact that it doesn't have the % function on portrait which i used to use all the time! and even if you use the landscape mode for % it doesn't work the same as the Winmo eg. to add say 11.6% onto 360 was easy - 360 + 11.6 (% sign). you can't do that on the HTC
please make one

I can put some pretty kool graphic and ideas to this and many projects. How advanced are your programing skills?

By the way -totally kool"r than ice when all buttons announce its value! I can also develope that.

HEy!
It's a good thing that i dropped by this thread... I've been FOREVER looking for a TAPE calculator... just like in Nokia's N-series calculator...
Once you have this. This will make your calculator one of a kind..
MRU features
1. Tape Function
2. Bin, Oct, Dec, Hex
3. Currency Exchange... (It would be best if the rates can automatically be downloaded but if not then a simplified ver will do)
Optional: Floating Pt calculations. (16-bit and 32-bit)
keep us informed.. will be glad to beta test..

hmm, I've never seen that tape calculator. Good one, will try to implement something like that. I already show the calculation at the top. But to get it all underneath each other is nice as well. I might put it underneath all the buttons.
Btw, I am currently only thinking about portrait, I am someone that does not want to have a calculator that is only functional in landscape.
Bin, Oct, Dec, Hex is already implemented (still have some bugs in that part, but is working for 90%)
Haven't thought about currency exchange yet. I might add it in future versions
At the moment I am working on implementing all the functionality of the current windows (7RC) calculator excluding all the special features like the currency exchange and unit conversion.
I'm using most of the programming functions, they are most important to me, but I also want to include the statistics and scientific stuff.

Here is a site with screen shot of the nokia calc
http://tamss60.tamoggemon.com/2008/08/23/nokia-ports-the-s40-calculator-to-s60/
I'm a sales engineer.. so that's why i'm in need of these features... when PLC programming i am using the BIT/DEC/HEX. sometimes Floating point.. but when i'm with client as sales i am calculating long lists of prices... that's when i need the tape feature..
now... if you're getting bored and in need of a challange.. Why not make your calc like Inesoft's CalcNote... I'm using this as my primary calc.. because of its handy features..
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=calcnote.html
just a thought

I will have a look, first thing is to get all buttons, I have now, working.
in the meantime I will think of a way to implement the tape, I could do it underneath the buttons, but that will mean it's not too big, other possibility is to use a gesture and have 1 full screen with the tape so u can see how ur going, but have to use the main screen to do the calculation. Let me know what u think.
Once I have implemented all the buttons to my liking (or not) I will put that one online, haven't worked on it a lot last couple of days, so progress is a bit slower then expected.
hmm, after looking at inesoft's calcnote I realise there is no stopwatch on my mobile... There are probably enough of those apps around, aren't there?

Nice. Task Apps have been sparse.
Cheers mate. Will try now and let u know.
Can we request additions?

Feel free to do so. As I said above, there are no guarantees that I will ever implement them, but it might give me an idea what to do next if I ever find the time.

Screenshots please?

Not sure how I managed this already!
Added a note, then went back to edit title, confirm save box appeared behind onscreen keyboard, hid keyboard and the confirm change popup disappeared and app crashed.
Other than that, nice simple app.

Unfortunately this is quite difficult and beyond my ability... Hopefully at some point HTC will redesign Manila with plug-ins in mind. Until then... we can only bug them to do it!

Other languages might be a good addition

Thought this would have a Manila look and feel. Still, good work.
Shame you're going to end development here as I know a lot of users would like a more workable and full-featured task management in Leo.

Priority levels and due dates are now included in the new version

I hope HTC will open manila up a bit more to the devs. I know in theory how to do it, but it's a lot of work like you say. If I had the time I might have a bash at it. First job will be to tweak the layout xml (mode9). Anyways...

Very nice app! Maybe you could add a simple category editor and the possibility to pick a category from a drop down box when you edit a task.
I like the layout.

Categories for the time being are generated automatically based on what can be found in tasks... A nicer editor is my current priority though

A really nice application. Congrats. I would love to be able to use selected text options in the edit field (long press in the memo box) so I could copy, cut and paste. This is something I really miss and everybody too.
Additionally it would be great if you could scroll with your finger not using the vertical scrollbar but directly in the text (just like you can in Message Compose in Manila)
Great app.

Great!
Hi All,
This app looks simple and spot on in my mind. Cannot imagine why HTC has left out task capabilities in HTC Sense (and why the standard today plugin task app in windows mobile is so basic)... anyway: this would make out the perfect fit for me, IF it had possibility to filter out future tasks (so that only todays due - or overdue tasks would be shown). Great work anyway!
... but "please please" as for the filtering option
/Lars

Some of the requests are now implemented in the new version

Oh my, not another tab in Manila! Information about tasks on the Home tab that is clickable and allows to launch an appropriate application is the way to go for sure.

Well alot has been added even since that screen shot. Idk when ill release the next beta because i am pondering if i should leave this app free, sell it, or make it donationware. But i expect to release at least 1 more beta b4 ive decided on the above. When i do release a new beta it will be in the apps sub forum as the app will be moving from the dev end to the finishing end.
Current to-do list.
Speed optimization
Gfx stuff make it prettier(also will help speed)
Add Splash Menu
Add high score saving and current game saving
add buttons to enable disable control features
add sound/music
and after that...dats it project finished(i "may" add support for vga phones...mayb...)

Will this give the option of viewing online (as well as offline) high score tables? That would make it more competetive and obviously more popular in return

One vote for freeware

Really lovely game - thanks!
It's lovely and works great. My only non positive comment would be that the numbers on the white background are a bit distracting.

Great Game, Thanks, almost finished.

Yep , also the released version is pretty outdate. Progress has been slow as of late tho, school & work are taking up almost all my time. But I am still working .

It's working well mate. I like tetris on a touch screen - never thought about that before.
It obviously needs tarting up, and a menu and stuff like that, but so far so good! Just keep going - you're definitely heading in the right direction.
Just one thing I would ask....
The numbers that come up at the side of the screen, I understand that you may want to see that for debugging or ask people about it if there are any issues, but could you just make it only show if there's a particular command-line parameter (say, "debug" for example)? It's very distracting.
The only issue I had with it was moving something from near the edge to the actual edge of the screen. It took a few goes and nearly ruined my game

sure i can do that very easilly.
when u say edge to actual edge is this on the same side? or from say leftside to the right side?
if its the same side keep in mind that the movement isnt based of pressing over the moving tiles. you can press anywhere o the screen and slide left/right to move.
elaborate more and i will go over the algarithm some more to see if i can fix it.
right now im sidetracked working on a splash menu, but one im done ill look into it

I get it now. I thought I had to click on the piece to move it, but it works a lot better if I don't. That makes sense - thanks mate

Take a look at the way Adam did his controls for the game Gemdrops (http://www.adamdawes.com/windowsmobile/winmob_gemdrops.html) - I think the controls would work well for your game as well.
(You can also stay full screen & just make hidden zones to click on)

[GAME] Teeter

Everyone loves Teeter right? I'm sure there'll be lots of shoddy ports for WP7 on launch, so I decided to do it right and first
Obviously, I'm pretty sure the name is trademarked, so will have to be changed before release...
Here's some screenshots of my progress so far :

(Cant post images or real links as I'm a new user )
I'm looking for designers to come up with a possible alternate style, to diferentiate from the original teeter slightly. Maybe themed worlds?
I'm open to ideas

thats great news Guess that gives me more motivation to finish it then

And how about a real Metro UI skin? I guess it will look great!

A metro UI skin is a great idea, just not sure about how to pull it off well, will give it a try though

Make everything a blue block? I joke, of course Very nice work, looking forward to see how this comes along, as this is by far my favorite Windows Mobile game.

Nice job, OP! I wouldn't be surprised if HTC have already made a port, but this is still very cool.
My only comment is the 3D view looks a bit strange. There is no real depth, just the 2D Window rotating in 3D space. Look on youtube for "labyrinth 3D".
Keep up the great work!

I forgot to mention, that view is just for the emulator, as I cant really pick up my monitor and tilt it around
As soon as I get a real device to test on, I'll move everything over to the real G-Sensor, and lose the pseudo 3d kinda thing
ALLTHOUGH
I could easily make the 3D view better and have this as an alternate to using the G-Sensor, perhaps as an option from the menu? All input is helpful at this stage
Also, anyone who wants to follow my dev work, my twitter is @lordadamwalker.
Not much stuff about this project yet, but I only started yesterday morning, so It'll be there. Best way to keep updated

I would like a natural Port of the Game most.
Please add a Missionselector after one managed the final level.
If you make a Metro SKin please make it alternative, some people dont like it all the time.
Also I think Stability and low latenzity is more importent the difficult View, you should set your priorities according to that.

looking fwd to see how this game turns out...

A direct port is where I'm starting certainly, any extra features I can add when I finish the engine completely.
There will be a level selector for completed levels.
And there will definitely be a choice of skin to suit all tastes
Performance and reliability are my key focus, so rest assured the engine will be well tested and tuned

Not one to double post, but I now have access to a Windows Phone 7 device, so I should be able to make some real progress. Updates coming very soon

well?
Where is the port?

Cut features - What I miss in Windows Phone7.5 Mango that was in WP7

There are many, many (and more to come) new featurs in 7.5 and I love them all!
But I miss something in WP 7.5 (7.10.7712.60):
(red marked)
1.
Was nice when listening to long audiofiles. (also on lockscreen)
WP7___________________________________________________WP7.5
2.
The "search website" features is missing
3.
Please MS, let us change the reload icon/button to the tabs or favorites icon/button!
4.
The Imagequality when uploading from picture hub to Facebook is horrible now!
5.
The colors have been renamed. i.a. limettengrün to lindgrün.
Some (all?) of them (I noticed it on limettengrün/limegreen) are less colorful
Do U miss more features from WP7.5 that was in 7?
6.
Several Members: Transparent lockscreen wallpapers gone (IMO this isn't a cut feature, some of us just used a glitch...)
7.

Hope its not worse, maybe just a bug that now appeared on your phone too?

Damn they removed that track timer in MANGO??? Thats so important.. no bar showing length?

I think the new placement of url etc is awesome.
What is it that is bad?

I don't think there'll be one single update,wp7 is too big a mess to solve in one swoop. Next year April probably we'll be smiling from ear to ear and sideloading apps we haven't even thought of. Until then its slim pickings,should have waited for the bloody Nokia.

I'm wondering if the transparent wallpaper "feature" was actually a bug that we just took advantage off. I noticed that the squares in various hubs, such as office and picture, no longer go transparent when I move from page to page like they did before mango.

Yeah I'm pretty sure wasn't a feature, it was more of a hack

Yeah man, they had to do something with Zune on the lockscreen, and it made it a huge mess. It's too bad, I did it to my friends focus and it looked beautiful. And I don't own a WP7 currently, so I will never get to enjoy it.
Maybe if we get a poll going, we could bring this to Microsoft's attention?

well i miss the favs button and the tabs button being on the screen, instead of having to use the menu, i honestly didnt mind the URL bar at the top, but whatever, I cant wait for the official Mango update to come out

Editing (saving) old Word files (97-03) ... doesn't work anymore. -.-

I have to agree about the browser. It's not a make or break problem for me, but is kind of annoying to have that extra step. I also wish they'd give IE a Forward/Back Button instead of using the hardware Back button. Would be nice for the URL to be on top & auto-hide, swipe down to show it in portrait & landscape. Make it thicker since it'd auto hide. Just my 2 cents on it.
Also, don't like them (MS) breaking homebrew native app (INTEROPSERVICES). That is a big deal for me. That's the main reason I'm not using the Beta2. The new features are nice, but the lack of homebrew kills it for me.
