Android Trivia Games

 

I decided to make some trivia games for fun.

I finished the first one named Who Am I History.

I got the idea for these from going to the movies, they used to show a trivia game before the movie would start, where the celebrity image was covered with blocks that would disappear as time goes by, revealing the celebrity image below them. They also gave clues while this was happening to help you guess who it was. I always found this a great time waster while waiting for the movie to start.

So I decided to make my own version for android.

I plan on making a few of these as time goes by with different topics.

Here is the first one

Who Am I History

Description:

Who Am I History

A history trivia game.
You have to guess who is in the image.
You have a choice of four different people.
Object of the game is to guess who the image is before time runs out.
The quicker you guess the more points you earn.
If you earn more points you move up levels.
Each level assigns a status name to you.
Each level gets less time to guess and less points to earn making it more difficult to move to higher levels.
The boxes disappear as time ticks down revealing the image.
Clues appear to help you out.
Clues get less in higher levels.
Beat the high scores and improve your own.
There are 11 levels to reach.
A great trivia who am I game for history lovers.
100 different people to guess.
See how well you know your history and the people who made changes or are important in history.
A great brain teaser and puzzle for the whole family.

There are two versions, an ad supported version that's free to download and an ad free version that is very low priced

You can get them through the links below:

Ad supported free version:

Ad Free version:

Linux Mint now has html5 coming for the new mdm.
This got my curiosity  up since I like making things that move around a screen, so I decided to make some animated mdm themes for the Linux Mint new mdm.
You can check out all the themes I made here: http://samriggs.deviantart.com/gallery/

Now to get this working on your Linux Mint machine there is instructions and a download to install and how to get it up and running go here: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2327

There is also a thread on the Linux Mint Forum to keep you updated on more themes and updates and just general new mdm stuff here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=126979

This is a fascinating new twist on the mdm login screen allowing us to make pretty much anything that can be created in html5 for the login screen.
Another great move for linux mint.

Fun Apps

Well I decided to ad a section for all the fun apps I made and seem to keep on making in my spare time.

These are made when I get ideas in between other projects, Lights is one of them but it actually can have some real world purposes, which is why I added it in another section.

I'll leave out the sound boards as sound boards are really only sounds boards, I made two of theme just to try it out and have fun with audacity.

First one of the few I just made is the latest

Laser Guns and Steampunk Ray Guns

Description:
Laser Guns and Steampunk Ray Guns plus a Death Ray
These are laser gun simulators.
Before you rate this remember this is not a game but a simulator and for entertainment purposes only.
Have fun shooting laser guns at friends or foe with realistic looking ray guns with sound effects.
You have a choice of 5 ray guns.
2 sci-fi laser guns
2 steampunk laser guns
1 death ray

Each one comes with:
6 sound choices (choose while in ray gun choice)
turn sound off or on
primary and secondary weapons
You can turn each weapon on or off separately
safety switch that works (you cannot fire while safety switch is on
A trigger like a real gun (you drag the trigger like a real gun to fire)
A battery charger button (if the gun battery runs out just press the yellow nuke button to recharge it)
Gun will not fire if safety is on or if battery needs to be charged, to make it seem more real.
Three rays:
           Green: Stun Ray
           Blue: Maim Ray
           Red: Kill Ray

It also comes with a tutorial page to explain each button.

The permissions are for the sound effect settings and a small ad as this app is ad supported.

Please use with discretion.

Themes themes and more themes

Well it's try some new things again.
I went into this android programming with the hopes of making some themes, it's something I like doing and used to make them for linux (hopefully I'll get back to that one day) you can see some of them here  also some more on linux mint art site, ubuntu art site and gnomes eye candy site.
Well I'm in between making a game that is going to take me awhile to do I decided to take some breaks while I design the game more, to make some themes.
I was going to make them to install on multiple launchers BUT Go Launcher changed so many things for theming in their code and now use base 64 cyprtics for their xml files that it has to be done on their theme maker now instead of adding it to multiple launchers at once, so to make things easier I decided to just make some Go Launcher themes for now, this gives me a break from programming anyhow and let's me just concentrate on the artwork instead. If they go good and I get a demand for them on other launchers I'll make them for those also, minus the Go Launchers extras that only they have (like their new menu).
Hopefully I can get some made for the ADW and launcher pro (both which I use as well as the go launcher but have to admit I like adw the best, it's less bloated and faster but has less toys then the go does and the reason I chose the go launcher first, well is because I don't have to program it at all, I can also design in more areas with their toys and it gives me the break I need.
But I do want to make some for adw (my favorite of all launchers :)

I'll post them here once their done.

Ok two are done so far as shown below.
I of course have to make a steampunk one, to keep with my passion for steampunk styles, I know their is a few of them out there and because of that I was almost not going to make one, I figured theirs enough choice out there for folks and some of them are excellent, but it's my passion for all things gears lol.
So I am making one and will take my time as usual with steampunk and will post it here once done.
Alrighty the steampunk one is finished and I tried to make it as clean as possible as it can be very easy to go nuts with gears and the such on steampunk making it a cluttered mess in the end, hopefully I kept this one clean enough :)

After making some Go Launcher themes go keeps changing things, which means updates have to be fast a furious,  to keep up with their changes, plus the fact I noticed how quickly they get pirated (extremely quick) and almost stopped downloads completely because of it, for these two reasons, I will no be making anymore Go Launcher themes (plus a few more reasons on go side), there fun but with the pirating issues and the constant changes go keeps performing, keeping up means keeping a constant eye on what go is doing and searching sites for pirated copies to try and stop it (the time involved makes it not worth doing them), so hopefully I can have some better luck with apex and adw (my favorite launcher), we'll see how this one goes lol.

Tic Tac Toe Games

Well now that the clock series are finished for now (unless I can come up with more ideas), it's time to move onto something I've been aching to do for some time now.

Games.

As I said earlier, as tradition, the first one will be a tic tac toe game.

I have two boards finished so far (the artwork).

There will be two versions, a free one (ad supported) and a paid version.

The ad supported one will come with some skins and have the normal two player modes (vs computer and vs a real player or two player).

Here is one skins I finished tonight.

This one is a beach skin that will have buttons etc added when the game is in play.

There isn't much you can do to a tic tac toe game but hopefully I can make it look good for everyone.

I'll post it here once this app is finished.

The paid version will have 6 skins 5 are new ones and I kept the pirate one,  I'll give the option to move it to the sd card so it doesn't take up the phones memory so much.
I tried to add 10 skins but it killed the memory, so I chose the 6 best out of the ten and put them in the paid version which will hopefully be released soon. I'll add to this post once it's done with screenshots and a link to the game.
After this I have two more ideas for clocks I came up with and then a twisted version of pong will be in the works.

Well this one is now finished with 4 themes to choose from.
Here is a look at the demo version version, (I'll have the paid version up as soon as I get the artwork finished for it).

Sam's Tic Tac Toe

I have only one more in mind for tic tac toe, and that is of course a steampunk only version.
I'll add it here after it's finished but this one I want to a bit of time on to get it looking good I hope :)

Well it's finished, the last tic tac toe game (unless of course there is a demand for an ad free version then I'll upload that at a low price for the steampunk one, considering it is only one theme and took less artwork and time to create)
