BounceBounce, a Doodle-Jump Clone

Hi Everyone,

I'm pleased to announce my latest game, this was a popular request from the talkmaemo website.

BounceBounce is a simple accelerometer controlled game, simply bounce your fella as high as possible. Different blocks have different bounce properties and watch out for the bad guy too!

Can be found in extras-testing, and don't forget to vote!

Paper Toss N900

I've been playing with Python and Pygame over the last few days and decided to make a version of the best thing that is available for Android.

Now you can play Paper Toss without having to install Nitdroid, although you should still do that anyway :)

Its packaged as a zip file, simply extract to a folder on your n900 (preferably under your mydocs folder) and then launch the python file from xterm with "python game.py"

Have Fun!

Your N900 as karaoke machine...

Hi All,

It's been a while since I have made anything since I have recently been made redundant and am trying to find work, as you can imagine its been really draining me.

however I thought I'd let you all know about this software I wrote a while back that lets you convert karaoke files (CDG+MP3) into mpg files which play on the N900.

Plug it into a TV and you have a Karake machine in your pocket!

Theres no way to add a mic but that just means you have to sing a bit louder :)

Also by buying the software you'll be supporting the 'business' side of my development work.

Sensitive Motion, for the N900...

Hi All,

Still fuelled by my love of this new device I decided to completely re-write Sensitive, this time to use the accelerometer.

So its now available in the extras-testing repo, the usual warnings apply to any app from that repo. I fully redesigned all the graphics and levels too and added some new blocks.

The idea is the same as always, roll your player around the level crossing/breaking all the ice-blocks on your way to the exit block. you must destroy every ice-block before you can exit.

Watch out for teleporters, double strength blocks, one-way blocks and conveyor belts too!

The game contains 24 predesigned levels but also includes a level editor for you to create up to 24 custom levels!

This game is totally free but a few donations wouldn't go amiss :)

New Phone, New Game....

Hi All,

I have recently got my hands on Nokia's amazing N900.

I decided to try to make a quick game for it.

These are the results of this weekends freetime :)

The game is called "De-lite" and is a remake of the tiger electronics game called "Lights Out"

the project can be downloaded directly from the extras-dev repository if you have them enabled.

the Maemo page can be found here:

PyS60 TXT2CBZ convertor...

Hi All,

I had a request to let TouchComic also read txt files. it's not something that TouchComic will probably ever do but in the mean time (just as a programming challange) I created TXT2CBZ,

This little PyS60 app lets you choose a txt file on your phone and will create a CBZ file from the contents.

Its not very fast and doesn't have any fancy options (although you can change them as much as you like in the source code)

its creates as many pages as required and zips them up into a CBZ

its only been tested on a n97 and I am sure I have missed a few bugs but thought some people may like to have a play anyway.

Download from here:
