Button Duel Continued

Hello all, I have finished the majority of the code for one of the game modes. The app should be completed by the end of this weekend. However, I am going to postpone the release of this until December 25th. Now why would I do that? Good question. From  December 25th until January 5th I plan to do 12 days of apps. During the duration of these 12 days, I intend to release 12 applications; one a day. This will be a creative yet engaging challenge. I am looking forward to it starting with the release of Button Duel.

Happy Coding,
Mike

Button Duel Day 2

Hello all,
I have made the layout for the menus of Button Duel along with the layout for one of the game modes. The layout of the menus is a simple button layout with some textviews. It is uninteresting to include in this blog post. Anyway, I plan to have two games modes: Tug of War and Classic. I have planned out the layout for the Classic game mode:

Tomorrow, I hope to link up all of the layouts in addition to adding my color theme. I would also like to get started on the code of the game modes

Happy Coding,
Mike

The Return

Hello,

It has been a while, hasn't it? I have been busy with both android programming and other events and believe have not been able to blog in quite a while. Anyway, Cool Reminders is on hold for right now. In the past weeks I have developed three apps: Rock Calculator and Phone Finder (My personal favorite). The source code for Phone Finder can be found here. I now intend to blog this week about making an app called Button Duel. Button Duel is a game that consists of pressing a button more than your opponent. I first plan to make the game local but then in a future update, incorporate only game modes. I will keep you guys updated along with source code.
It has been a while, and I am looking forward to the most exciting weeks of android development yet!

Happy Coding,
Mike

Cool Reminders Day 4

Hello all,

It has been quite a while since I have blogged, hasn't it? Anyway, OH YEAH is up right here. Overall, it's an obnoxious app; if you are looking for some laughs, you should definitely check it out.
In other news, I have started coding Cool Reminders. I am currently trying to figure out how to save data. I am not posting any screen shots of the layout yet because that will probably change. Keep you guys updated.
Happy coding,
Mike

Persevering Day 7 and Cool Reminders Day 1

Hello all,

Two of my apps that I published over the weekend are right here and here. My other app that I said would be coming out today is getting pushed back to tomorrow because I want to add some additional features. Before I start reflecting on my previous two published apps, I want to talk about the main app this week. Cool Reminders will be an app that will contain an editable list of reminders that the user can view. Along with a cool feel and appearance, it will make for quite an interesting app. I want to make this app so I can practice using array lists and storing data even when the user exists the app.
Now, time to reflect on my past two apps. Jazz Calculator is an app where I did not learn any anything new (in terms of programming). That is the reason I did not make it the main app to blog about.
During this week, I learned to manage many screens and learned how to make curved buttons. All in all, I would have liked to pick apps that would help me learn more.
Looking forward to the upcoming app. This week I will try to post the source code.
        My other app, titled "OH YEAH" will also be an app just for the purpose of making money. I am not learning anything new. It will essentially be another sound app consisting of different voices saying "Oh yeah".

Happy coding,
Mike

Persevering along with my other app, Jazz Calculator are all coded for! I intend to release them both tomorrow. The other app that I plan to release this weekend has not been finished. I am hopeful I can get it out by tomorrow. If not, then I should be able to by Monday.

Happy coding,
Mike

Persevering Day 4 and 5

Hello all,

Yesterday I was flooded with high school work so I was not able to even make any progress on any of my apps. Today however, I was able to get most of the code done and in addition some code for my other two apps which I plan to release this weekend. Those being Systems of Equations Buddy and Jazz Calculator. Looking forward to telling you guys about the release.
Happy coding,
Mike
