Hi all...
I've been developing bits and pieces of stuff on my phone for my own use and I thought I'd share this with you. Unfortunately it's only useful for people who live in Sydney as it relies on 131500.com.au (locals will know what I'm talking about). Although that service has its own "Mobile" version webpage, I find it very inefficient to type in addresses and not have it remember my last selection - especially since I'm usually already in a hurry if I ever find myself needing to check the timetables.
It's a tiny (but multi-threaded for uber-fast interface) program (30kbs) that remembers your last To/From train stations and will directly fetch the timetable for trains in the next hour in a WebBrowser control. And a single-button (reverse) that gives you the same timetable for the other direction on your way home.
Note: uses internet data! - but only a single page. Probably 1kb or so each time?
Limitations (as by the 131500 mobile service): unable to directly give timetable for connecting trains. ie: both stations must be on the same line
Requires: .NET Compact Framework
Compatible with QVGA/VGA/WVGA devices. But I'm posting under blackstone forum because that's the phone I use
Freeware - and all comments/suggestions etc welcomed. Many thanks!
P.S. At uni now.. so i've only included a crude screenshot. I'll post a proper one if i get a fair bit of interest in this. thanks

hey mate do you think it would be possible to do up a brisbane one?

If there's a website that allows you to look up the brisbane timetables I don't see why not. alternatively if you can source a soft copy of the timetable?

www.qr.com.au
are you able to grab it from there?

Very useful, thanks!

I've just sent an email to QR. Will see what they say first..

It's good but don't like the fact it connects to the net to get the info.
If you look at timetables, they are mostly always the same, so you can get the info currently right now and make an offline version in which the times are accessible whenever and whenever there might be a new timetable, such as the new Chatswood lines, there could be an update button just to get the new times.
Other than that, good start but definitely needs an offline version.

[Closed] Open WiFi Finder - Call for Beta Testers

Hi Guys,
I am writing a small application called Open WiFi Finder and I am looking for some Beta testers.

It is a .NET 3.5/OpenNETCF application that tries to locate open WiFi Access points. It does so by repeatedly trying to connect to the most powerful AP and ping a well known address for reply.
I am planning to sell this app on the Marketplace for a small fee, but before doing so, I would like to gain more confidence by testing it to more devices. I only own two rather old HTCs and it seems to work fine. Yet, I suspect that it behaves very differently with the various wireless adapters out there.
So please, If you like to help me with this, PM me with your email/device model so I can send you the cab to try it. It only supports Touch Screen devices with QVGA/WQVGA/VGA/WVGA. Of course, all selected beta testers will get the final cab free of charge..!
EDIT: I now have enough people willing to try it. I will let you know if I want some more. Thanks again everybody.
EDIT2: Link for download is here:
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appId=09c5dae9-3800-45d3-aaea-6ef7b54df2df

ok i am about to pm you. i am way excited to test this app.

sign me up pls

Ill give it a wirl for you

Guys, pm me your details please! Otherwise I don't have a way to contact you!

I would be more than happy to help you out with this. I have a tilt 2. I have helped out several people and replied with my findings. thanks

[WIP] OrthoGun

Hey guys,
after developing my App "Remote", I nearly immediately started a new project.
Not an app, a game it should be.
So I began about 2 months ago and now I want to present the current results to you.
The game is named "OrthoGun" and it's a 2D Space Shoot 'Em Up.
Unlike other genre representatives you can't upgrade your ship in the usual way.
I build a randomized itemsystem: There are different types of items (like standard armor, a simple cannon) and from those the items will be generated which will have different attributes (so there would be a cannon which makes 10 damage and a cannon which makes 500 damage and one which shots very fastly and one which shoots very slowly). When starting a level, enemies will be randomly generated from those items. When killing an enemy, there is a chance a he drops one of his items, which you can eventually pick up and use by yourself.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So this an actual enemy from the game. The shape and items, he has, are completely randomly generated using certain rules.
Using those items you also build your own ship. You practically just drag&drop the items to the position you like and you're done.
The game will feature about 20 levels with different difficulties and types of enemies
Plus 3 modes and bonuslevels.
I'm currently trying to convince Microsoft Game Studios to publish it, so I can integrate the XBOX Live Services, but they have a very long respond time.
You can view more screenshots on the facebookpage (see signature) (you don't have to like the page or be registered to view the screenshots, but I would be happy if you so because it's a lot easier to keep you updated because I promote this game in other forums too)
Note that the colors you see, currently depend on your accent color (I use "mango" at the moment)
Please let me now whether you like the idea or not. I will try to answer any question and I would be very happy about feedback (negative&positive).
Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely
DeathLamp

May take a while to get use to. The randomized drop of items could make the game super hard hard at times. I hope you can save progress and not have to start from level 1 the whole time. It could be quite interesting. Graphics seem a bit outdated but then I'm assuming your going for that look?

Sure all progress will be saved.
As I've already said there will be level.. each will unlock a new itemtype so you're not able to find every item right from the beginning. Currently I made enemies handicapped, so they don't get the same amount of health, damagepower and shoot speed from the items.
At the moment you will only be able to keep the items if you complete the level, but at least there are no lives, so you can try as often as you like.
Yeah I am aware that the graphics are the critical point of the game, and it actually looks kind of worse on a static picture. I will try to make video the next days.
And thanks for your feedback
EDIT: And heres the video
It's the second half of the tutorial

[App][2.3+][Alpha] Looking For Players

LFP (Looking for Players) is a simple app that helps gamers find each other. It tries to emulate the bulletins boards in real life. LFP does not require an account to use but does require a persistent Internet connection. The three tabs (Response, Post, and Search) contain all of the functionality of the application.
Response lists the games you have listed with a list of people that are interested in playing that game with you. Tapping the X next to the game title removes the listing while the x next to a name removes that user. This list refreshes every time the app starts and every 15 minutes if left open.
Post allows you add a game to the server specifying the game, in-game name, platform, days and the approximate starting time. Anything posted is automatically deleted after one week.
Search goes through the available listings and returns a list grouped by time. All times are corrected for the local time zone. Clicking a listing within the group generates a dialog to notify the person that you are interested in gaming at that time.
Currently, I want to know:
• How responsive the app is.
• Is LFP intuitive to use?
• Are the colors appealing? How can I improve the theme, nothing too fancy for I am not an artist.
• Does this app accomplish its goal of being a bulletin board for gamers?
• If this was in the app store how much would you pay for it?
• Bugs and annoyances.
This was designed for use on a phone but it does run on tablets but its not coded to take advantage of the additional space.
**EDIT** This is the alpha so there isn't a large user base so there are 0 posts at the moment. Therefore everyone needs to post and search for the same 5 games: Pirate Sushi, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, Roller Rally:Snake Pass, Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, and Quarrel.

Please provide some screenshots as they are always important and they are working as a tester magnet
Thanks for your work!

Cool idea!

Thanks, I'm contacting people on that UI designer list to create a new color scheme for this app. That's a common complaint. Which is not surprising at all really.

Very responsive, haven't ran into any glitches yet

Ifit app joins the club. Full offline running app.

Guys how we missed this?
Since 9th of December this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifit.android.app&hl=es
Added standalone support for GPS running with our SW3.
We have to try it.

but can we export the training to other app? like runkeeper?

I don't think so. But it's a nice way to try a new service and website.

Tried this today... Only good thing over ghostracer is looks, but that's it. More functionality and ambient with ghostracer.

Actually I find this app more than enough. It just works. Settings are easy to use and all tipical info is displayed.
I know ghostracer is great having the developer here, but ifit is the best other choice.
It's possible to see at the same time four fields of information.
And also when the app starts it waits for proper gps signal.

It's the closed ecosystem that is a non starter for me. Their website stinks and for serious runners, strava, runkeeper, etc are 100x better

I know, it depends how serious you're.
I just run for fun and I have enough with proper data in my wrist, basic cloud storage and web service.
At the moment it's the only decent alternative to Ghostracer beta...

I see now they even are promoting the SW3
https://www.ifit.com/sonywatch
I think they deserve a little more attention. They are the first of the professional running web services to develope serously for our watches.

Most serious runners or bikers have never heard of ifit. They cater more to the gym treadmill crowd with their built in software. Not saying it's bad, but most serious runners have garmin, polar, or sunutoo, or tomtom. Which have their own services and many sync to strava and runtastic.
With ghostracer hrm support, lapping, and future alerts, it smokes ifit

Sure, I also think ghostracer is the most serious project with our watch.
Just saying this is the best other (not beta) choice right now.

I just got a new SSW3 today and it has a iFit logo on the box.

gps accuracy?
Just wondering how is the gps accuracy for this app?
I have tried runkeeper, and I have no way knowing if the gps is connected or not.

Just tried ifit, only run for around 1.6km and it reported too short to save to the phone and just deleted the record.
I don't usually run a long distance, and this isn't a app for me if can't record short distances. :crying:
Otherwise, the GPS seems to be better than runkeeper. At least it keeps track of my run even I am under a sheltered walkway.
