Has anyone had any experience with Mono for Android?

Working on an invisible widget for Android that sends the phone's location to my server every hour, in case it ever gets stolen. When you try to drag icons or other widgets into that invisible space, it'll just look like Android doesn't allow you to drop anything there. I only need to think of something for the GPS icon. If it works well, I could put it on the Market.

looked into it, it's quite good.

Thanks, I might pull it down and have a play.

I was going to get in to iPhone development but I can't be arsed to download the iOS SDK every time it updates.

Ever thought of using noise to make the ground texture instead?
itd be less repetitive :D

Why not do it as a service? no need for the invisible space and all

I think it would take abit of work do start messing around with it now, had i of done it at the beginning it could of worked but integrating it now would be abit of a hassle.

Not really, and if you have it set to listen to the right broadcast, will start up with the phone.

"empty projects"?

[HiredK]

I'm currently rebuilding my engine from scratch for the fifth time now :v: and I realized something while doing so, a BSP map can be rendered more than one time and from different points of origin, kinda like this:

[IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/k1opea.png[/IMG]

So basically would it be possible to render huge worlds using combination of various file format such as BSP, heightmap, 3ds, obj ... and by applying a good optimization using the player coord per instance?

2D game engine I've been working on for nearly a week. Box2D for physics, SFML for graphics and JsonCPP for json data. It's written in C++, compiles and runs nicely on windows and linux.

[img]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/6876/dreamscape2011011820343.png[/img]

Level file:

{
    "title" : "Test Level",
    "gravity" : [0,10],
    "playerstart" : [3,3.5],
    "backgroundcolor" : [50,50,255],
    "view" : {
        "type" : "static",
        "rect" : [0,0,20,10]
        },
    "objects" : [
        {
	"entity" : "platform",
        "data" : {
            "position" : [3,4],
            "archetype" : "placeholder"
            }
        },
        {
	"entity" : "platform",
        "data" : {
            "position" : [11,4],
            "archetype" : "placeholder"
            }
        },
        {
	"entity" : "platform",
        "data" : {
            "position" : [3,9],
            "archetype" : "placeholder"
            }
        },
        {
	"entity" : "platform",
        "data" : {
            "position" : [11,9],
            "archetype" : "placeholder"
            }
        },
        {
	"entity" : "platform",
        "data" : {
            "position" : [7,6.5],
            "archetype" : "placeholder"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Platform's data file:

{
    "object" : "platform",
    "archetypes" : {
        "placeholder" : {
            "background_image" : "media/images/platform_fence.png",
            "background_offset" : [0,-0.25],
            "physical_image" : "media/images/platform.png",
            "physical_offset" : [0,0],
            "foreground_image" : "",
            "foreground_offset" : [0,0]
        }
    }
}

Entities can have a number of presets called 'archetypes' that define lots of different values. For the platform entity it chooses the images used and can affect their position. The physics body is generated from the physical image used. The multiple images allows me to have a platform with a fence in the background and maybe a few bushes infront of the player too, all within a single entity. I'm trying to keep it really flexible.

So far the engine has a media manager that loads and unloads images and sounds efficiently without reloading the same file or unloading one when it's still being used. I've also got a key binding system that loads the controls from a text file so the player can modify controls easily. I'm planning on adding a menu to change controls in game once I get around to implementing a menu system. I'm thinking of using gwen for the actual interfaces.

Controls config:

{
    "jump" : "w",
    "jump2" : "space",
    "down" : "s",
    "left" : "a",
    "right" : "d",   
    "exit" : "escape"
}

I hope the programmer art makes your eyes burn.

[QUOTE=HiredK;27504630]a BSP map can be rendered more than one time and from different points of origin[/QUOTE]

Okay but isn't that obvious? It's like saying you can draw the same image multiple times once you read from file. That's what you're meant to do.

Well right now the best I can do is direct you to another project witch helped me a lot the build my engine.

Of course it's obvious, but I didn't know it was that easy. I thought that in order for a BSP map to run properly you had to setup all of it's features along the way (lightmaps and all the Quake engine-side stuff), but by simply loading the geometry and the textures id's chunk, you can mix it up with other files and render them all using custom GLSL shaders and maybe an exterior scene file. I know it's a simple concept but I never thought of that before.

How would you manage it without making it too obvious? (e.g. app in the app list?)

Simple notepad activity (or some other simple like 20 min app) that on certain keypress turns it on or off?

Invisible widget with widget settings for configuration is a lot easier for the end user and less noticeable for the inexperienced Android user than a nearly useless application.

Also is there a better way to draw an image in SFML without having to assign it to a sprite?
