Noodles! Also, Beta Testing Imminent!

Posted by DesertFox on March 28, 2011, 2:38 a.m.

I made yummy garlic butter noodles for dinner/late-nite snack. They were delicious.

So, I've successfully wrapped libgdx around my game engine. Basically, I just grab my input/display from their library instead of directly from a GLSurfaceView. Easy as pie. So What does this mean? It means that now making a desktop version will be trivially easy. So you non-phone guys can have fun too - I just have to set it up to allow for keyboard control instead of accelerometer.

Expect something tomorrow! Pretty much all I have left to do is to finish the third boss type, and then its BETATESTING and level design. Woo!

People with android phones that will be testing:

*Myself (derp) - Epic 4g

*BenDodge - myTouch 3g

*Dave (my flatmate) - one of the relatively recent Droid phones

*My brother - Evo 4g

*Anybody else with an android phone?

I have a friend with a Evo, but I, sadly, don't have one.

I haven't had a phone since 2006. >_>

I've had a crappy prepaid emergency phone for years which I never use.

Get high-pressure job. Then you can have a nice stipend for your expensive smartphone and be reachable 24/7! In IT at least, bosses love smartphones.

Can I test using an emulator?

@Mush - the android emulator A) is abysmally slow B) doesn't support accelerometer. I get a whopping 1-2 fps on the emulator at the main menu, compared to the steady 60 I get on my real device, even during the most graphically-intense parts of the game.

So unless you have a supercomputer you might as well test on the desktop port.

Sorry :/

Ditto.
