[QUOTE=icantread49;33535828]thanks for the tips guys

how's this

and for comparison

[editline]2nd December 2011[/editline]

use glEnable(GL_BLEND) and glBlendFunc(GL_DST_COLOR, GL_ZERO) which is multiplicative blending[/QUOTE]
I'll simply say that icon sucks just about as bad as your old ones. [del]Blackmail[/del] ask AMC to make you an icon.

what sucks about it? what can i improve?

[QUOTE=icantread49;33536103]what sucks about it? what can i improve?[/QUOTE]

Everything that has been mentioned in the last few pages

[QUOTE=icantread49;33535961]
i can't tell if that's "the icon is improving" or "the icon still sucks"[/QUOTE]

It's improved a lot from the original design. However I feel you would be better off trying to get opinions from actual artists, not people who generally produce "programmer art". When you're designing an icon/logo, you want it to be relatively simple.

woo first time poster in this thread! Been following it for ages.

Made a joyful little live wallpaper for android today, counting down the days till Christmas!

So when pretty much the entire thread told you that having "free" on the logo was a terrible idea, that was conflicting advice?

[editline]2nd December 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=icantread49;33536380]for the last time - this is an iOS icon, the image is a screenshot from my ipod touch 2g[/QUOTE]

none of that except maybe icon size is exclusively for iOS.

as you can clearly read on the previous page, i understood the advice regarding the "free" text. that's not an example of the conflicting advice

[Matte]

I've improved my assembler in such a way that jumping to labels have been replaced with jumping to line numbers. I've also made other general improvements.

[QUOTE=icantread49;33536423]what? you realize he linked me to the android icon guide, right?[/QUOTE]

uh, yes.

And it's pretty much a general guide on application icons. None of it is for android exclusively.

why is this hard to understand

that

and on top of that, yes, a lot of that is exclusive to android. iOS icons cannot have transparency

[QUOTE=Matte;33534514]Rewrote my assembler (which currently assembles into pseudo-assembly) to support conditional statements, functions (that is user-defined functions) and loops.

[IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/JccTJ.png[/IMG_thumb]
As you probably can see, the assembly code isn't very optimized, though.

The code in the picture:

//------------------------------
//	Λ (lambda) by Matte
//------------------------------


function void main(int x)
{
	print("Hello, World!");

	if(x > 10)
	{
		return x - 10;
	}
	else
	{
		return x + 10;
	}
}

I'm also considering writing a VM for my pseudo-assembly code. Then I would actually get some executable results. Shouldn't take too long to write considering that the rules of the produced assembly are very strict.[/QUOTE]
I'd like to have a go at making a VM. Can you give me the .lbd?

the app caption != the app name

i don't want to put "free" in the app caption because then iOS shortens it to "Tear N...Free"
