PREbounce 1.1 : a bouncy game (was 1.0)(7/19)

[kmax12]

2 days=2 apps. here is PREbounce a follow up to PRErun(soon to be PREtrack)

UPDATE: PREbounce 1.1 + source code available for download below

Use your finger to fling the ball and it will bounce in the box. If you have any notifications close them, other wise the app will scroll.

I made this to practice making a different app but I figured this is pretty entertaining on its own.


like always, give me some feedback about how I can make the app better. Just cause I know someone will say it, the accelerometer APIs for RAW DATA don't work(other ones like orientation change do)

My other thought was that maybe some programming novices here might want to take a look at the code. If there is interest shout out and ill rar it up and post the file.

well, that's all, bounce away

1.0:
released 7/19
just flinging and bouncing

1.1:
7/19
scrolling issue fixed

Its kind of hard to play, cause everytime you try to fling the ball you are actually moving the app around. Its a cool concept but needs a little work, maybe make the back ground stay put and not move at all, and add more travel to the ball.

This gives me the idea for that one game thats pretty popular on flash game sites, where you drag that naked lady through the sky and throw her trough like balls or something, her body has the rag doll effect. Its simple but fun lol

definitly lock the windows movement, thats step 1.

pretty cool. Needs the app not to scroll just the ball

looks cool, ill post an update once i install it

Haven't installed it yet, but what about adding a Simon Says element, coloring the borders and blinking them in a pattern. Then have us flick the ball off those borders in order?

Just thinking.

And, yes, please post a ZIP/RAR. This n00b would very much like to look at the flicking code. Thanx in advance.

If you have any notifications close them since it makes the screen smaller.

For the moment, that will help as a work around, yes, but the notification bar is a primary function of webOS and the Pre. The Dev should never ask the User to do the job for him/her.

Haha. I bounced it out of the box, and now it won't go back in. Nice sample for physics and graphic capabilities on the Pre.

I agree, does anyone know how to prevent scrolling? I can't figure it out.

When pushing a scene set disableSceneScroller to true.
Example:
[CODE]
this.sceneArgs = {
name: 'first',
disableSceneScroller: true
}

this.controller.pushScene(this.sceneArgs);
[/CODE]

thanks you. I will include this in my next update.
