Ganondolfs Adventure Demo Alpha Build

hi,
i am making a game called ganondolf's adventure (named after me).
I have made a demo for u guys, its an alpha build. im hoping u could give me suggestions and tell me of any bugs.
this is a 3 level build.
WVGA ONLY
Know Stuff:
Game is a bit laggy
not much sound
no animations
Save / Load does not work yet
bug: player falls through ground sometimes (i think this is caused by the lag jerks the player in the wrong place).
my x1 has been sent for repair (cracking probs) so cant test myself. i and a friend has tested a 1 level build so there should not be any probs installing (i have a x1, he has a touch pro 2).

ps. this is my first try at making a game and i have no knowledge of coding or creating games.
ps. i cant give u any screen shots as my x1 is at repair but please upload some.
thanks

*salute*
guess ill be the one to test these waters
update:
good start,
after looking and waiting at the "ganondolfs.. presents" screen for like 2 min (after which i realized i had to tap the screen,) the rest of the menu was straight forward although none of my hardware keys worked during the game/menu (with the exception of the xpanel.
the instructions seemed easy to understand, although clicking "main menu" resets the game to the intro (which is okay, didnt mind it, just fyi.)
load game doesn't work correctly yet, as you have stated.
Game: seems easy but hard since the lag (due to being the alpha), also difficult to know just how close i can get to the enemies with out dying ( large character, but you dont need to change that its fine)
opening the keyboard doesn't seem to rotate the screen but does change the lay out of the hardware directional pad.
i did manage to jump out of the game (quickly pressing up+right/left lead me to an invisible platform then out of the screen by jumping over the bricks)
its fun and looks nice too, reminds me of the Prince of Persia (funny how anything in the air appears OVER the on screen buttons )
keep up the good work, looking forward to the future of Ganondolf software's games. hope my observations help the development.

thanks, i will look into these things

Hey buddy, nice job for your first attempt!
I noticed after reading "How to Play" and returning to main screen, it goes back through the beginning credits.
Unlimited lives?
Cleared level 1, but with the lag it becomes more difficult to maneuver...will keep trying!
Here are thumbnails of screenshots.

[Q] Camera app - old and new

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.

Camera app - old vs ics new

Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.

Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?

Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).

Camera colours permanently posterized

Hi there Gurus !
I'm hoping you guys can help...
I've recently bought a phone which was unlocked when I got it (Android Revolution HD 7.0.2 by Mike1986)
The photo below shows the camera on my old HTC Desire HD on the left and the new one on the right. Admittedly, I could have focused both cameras on the subject better, but that's not really the issue. As you can see, the colours on the new phone look posterized.
I've made sure to set the camera back to it's default settings and of course there were no effects being added to the image.
I've also tried fiddling with all the settings (Exposure / Contrast / Satruration / Sharpness / White Balance etc. etc.) but every setting still produces these dodgy colours around everything.
It's probably worth mentioning that I've also tried the [Desire HD Camera guide] on this site and the obvious cleaning of the lens !
I'm really hoping you guys can suggest something that will get this camera working. Because the phone is awesome in all other respects !
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post outside links in my message, so you should find the picture as an attachment...
All help appreciated !!
Thanks,
Wotney

...This doesn't bode well !

Let's see.
New phone, rooted, running custom rom, Right?
Does the issue happen on stock? Didn't check?
Does it happen if you full wipe and install again? Does it happen on another rom?
Is it normal? Two different dhd's can have different componenets.
No idea what you mean by posterized.
Bottom line is, if you've tried the above suggestions, it's a new phone, and if it's a hardware issue, use your warranty. The dhd has a two year warranty in most countries if not all.

Hey - thanks very much for the reply...
It's a new phone to me, not brand new. Although I don't think it's been used properly before. Looks like someone got an upgrade and sold it to one of these companies that then sells it on for them.
I bought it from eBay and the rom was already on there when I got it.
I'm hoping you can see the attached thumbnails at the bottom of my first post - it shows me holding another Desire HD next to the new one. If you look at the image difference - you'll see what I mean by posterized.
I haven't done a full wipe and start again yet, because if I can't get it fixed - I need to return it to the seller.
Whilst I'm prepared to do that - I'd rather get it working !
If there's no other ideas from people, it looks like that is what I'll have to do

Try flashing another rom. Go for any gb rom. If you don't know how to full wipe and swap roms let me know.
Make a backup of that rom before, so that if you still have the issue, you just restore the backup and return it. As long as you don't have all your personal info in the phone.

Teichopsia, Once again - thanks for getting back to me.
I'm going to check with the person I got it from that they'll still accept a return of the phone if I go ahead and try that.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks buddy.
