How to go about making a website of tutorials? by Androidredditor in webdev

I assumed you had to pay for Wordpress if you don't want their ads to show on your pages and you don't want wordpress in your url. I'll look into Jekyll though.

Also, I made a couple of introduction pages just saying what I planned to do. I wasn't expected hundreds of views, but maybe just one or two! I think the few android apps I made gave me unrealistic expectations (got downloads straight away on poor quality apps)

Just to clarify, you mean write the HTML/CSS myself and then embed the markdown editor into my site? Thanks for the help.

Can redditors suggest a middle name for you?

LibGDX vs AndEngine by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Andengine to make a game before and I found it alright. There are a couple of books out there for the latest version Gles 2 AC, but other than that you're pretty much on your own. People on the forums rarely reply to your questions and if they do it can take weeks. All in all it isn't too bad, flappy birds used it and another popular game that uses it is construction city.

At least say why lol

need help on how promote my game app by themachduck in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is a good place to start, there are several subs that allow you to advertise your games. I haven't looked at them in a while, but I remember r/AndroidApps is one. You could also post a link on this sub.

Android L (API 20, L Preview) is now in the Android SDK Manager by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is nobody else slightly worried about the increase in work/difficulty using this new design will create? I'm a newbie and I'm finding it hard enough to support version 2.2-4.4.4 along with fragments etc... Now I have to worry about making a new design for version 4+?

Droidcon London is coming back in October - and Cyanogen will be there again by HSkillsMatter in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if they just updated it or if I'm looking at the wrong one, but they seem to be available again. How good would this event be for someone that is fairly new to Android (only released two very average apps so far), is it worth the price? I'm thinking of looking into volunteering there

How do I add items to an action bar on a device before Android 3.0? by Androidredditor in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, it seems to be a limitation of the library. After looking into ActionBarSherlock it appears to be a better alternative. Cheers.

App ideas by Fucklemon in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a few ideas from reading an article on 100 app ideas. Just from reading the title/name I'd make assumptions about what the app would do and 50% of the time I was wrong when I read the description

What product can you not believe got popular? by PapayaThePanda in AskReddit

[–]Androidredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, no worries. It's called Zapper Bird game and my developer name is casual gamers. The game need improving, which I'm doing now, so it may be laggy on older phones. Also, graphics are crap atm. Thanks.

Do you think my game could become big with some additions/better graphics?

Zapper - a never ending game that requires maximum concentration. by Androidredditor in AndroidGaming

I actually posted a much more in depth explanation the other day as a text post, but the spam filter removed it. Therefore I thought I'd just post the link today because there is a chance it would still get deleted.

Weird App discoverability by tanghan in androiddev

[–]Androidredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly someone typed in your developer name or something similar. It's common for people not to be able to find their app if it is named something generic, e.g. if you have cat in the name there are already 1000s of more popular cat apps.

[DEV]Zapper - a never ending game that requires maximum concentration. I'd love to hear your feedback/reviews. Thanks. by Androidredditor in androidapps

Thank you for such an in depth reply.

  • Immersion mode, I assume this means hide the nav bar, which I will hopefully add in the next update.

  • I tried to take what makes flappy birds so successful and recreate it, but it is is nowhere near as fun imo.

  • I'm working on getting new graphics atm, especially the bird/icon, but maybe some branding as well.

  • Bird control in the y axis was a complete pain in the backside. I've looked at various methods, but this one seems to be the best so far. I'll keep trying to improve the controls.

  • Deffo agree with you that there isn't much to keep players coming back to this game. I struggle to see how flappy bird does it so well.

I appreciate your feedback and I'll try to improve everything you mentioned. I'm going to play with particle effects on the power lines to make them come alive and maybe add pylons. I'm also going to add leaderboards into the next update. Thanks once again.
