1st gen

(I wrote a load of waffle here, but then I deleted it because it was rather dull to read, and instead, here is a brief summary)

Summary: "Dominos 3 runs well on 1st gen iPod Touches!"

(Or if you would like a more elaborate summary)

More elaborate summary: "My friend came over, and we tested Dominos 3 on his 1st gen iTouch, since I wanted to see how fast it would run because I have been developing on a 2nd gen, and have been concerned that it would run too slow. It turns out it runs at about 25fps, sometimes 30. This is perfectly playable, and it doesn't feel laggy when you are playing it. The only problem is that there is a rarely occuring bug that only happens when the fps drops down low, to about 20fps or so, so I've just got to make sure it stays above that threshold."

New name

Now here is the part of the blog where audience participation is required.

Look at this picture of the main character:

Can you think of a suitable name for him?

Need some different material? Well then, here he is as a pirate (Arr!):

See, I am trying to come up with a new name for Dominos 3, since "Dominos [sic]" implies a game about, well, dominoes. I think it might work well if I call the game after the protagonist's name, however he is as of yet unnamed.

Stevenup seems in favour of the name "Floo floo", but that sounds rather silly if you ask me.

Any name ideas? Trevor? Dylan? Bleh, they sound silly. Or maybe I should just name the game something completely different.

To give you some perspective, here is the story line:

In other Dominos 3 related news, here are some short updates:

-I have decided I will aim for 20 levels (there are 9 so far)

-I've added several new obstacles (including cute moles that pop out their holes)

-SirXemic has done some music that I will probably be using (for the menus. I think I may rely on just sound effects in game)

Now for something different, here is a short funny movie trailer.
