[Android] Bitracker

[Sactual]

Hello peeps,

Just wanted to showcase an Android game that I made over the past few idling ages since I was bored.

Please do tell me how it is, and do tell me if you notice any bugs. Room for improvement is wanted in this case, so do tell me if you want any suggestions =P.

Is it tablet-friendly? 'cause I don't have an android phone

Downloading right now, will let you know what I think about it later

Edit: FC when clicking the start button.
the screen doesn't fit, no lag.

HTC Wildfire with original 2.1 froyo firmware.

From what I was able to see the game looked good. nice graphics.

Alrighto thanks, and yeah the screen may not fit due to it being compatible only with large-sized phones or tablets. I'll see if I can do anything about that.

Quickly snip through this and then read the rest of my post.

Android displays certain resolutions by pixel density.



Phones like HTC Wildfire, Nexvus One, etc are classed as 'Normal Screen'.

These were the settings I used when I made Android apps:

Small screens: false
Normal Screens: true
Large Screens: false
Resizable: true
Any Density: true

To test out that this is working, make 3 Android Virtual Devices (AVD’s) and run your app. A WVGA or FWVGA, HVGA and QVGA should be good. I recommend making a specific PNG image in each density a different color, so you can tell if the right folder is being used.

I am not using only pure Android, and am using a library called LibGDX, so Android does not give the beneficiality of resizing. Oh well, I will try make it more compatible with smaller normal screens and small screens.

Still can be done with GDX.

Something like this..

private void resize()
{
    float x = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
    float y = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();

    float changeX = x / assumeX;
    float changeY = y / assumeY;

    position = new Vector2( position.x * changeX, position.y * changeY );
    width = startWidth * changeX;
    height = startHeight * changeY;
    bounds = new Vector2 ( position.x, ( Gdx.graphics.getHeight() - position.y ) - height );

}

Basically what you're doing is taking every object generated and running it through something that increases/decreases depending on the change in the x/y values in your resolution. The further it is from the native, the bigger it will be. When checking of something is somewhere or putting something somewhere, always code it as your desired resolution but run it through a resize function before displaying it or letting it interact with the rest of your app.

Works on the 10.1" Asus TF

Alright, I have made support for smaller screen devices (hopefully, as I only tested it through different resolutions on the emulator).
