[App] Bouncing Ball - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

"Bouncing ball" is a simple example of WP7 sensor usage. Also it shows a simple animation technique, pseudo physics emulation and simple shake detection.
Source code (very simple and clear) is attached. Enjoy!
P.S. Animation performance is good on Samsung Taylor but bad on LG phone. So, any tips to improve the frame rate are welcome...

hey this is a test...

Any animation software?

A friend of mine has an application on the iPhone called Flipbook, that allows you to create custom animations from creating frames and playing them. For example, with this, he can load a picture of him standing by a tree, and frame by frame draw a creature that comes up and devours his head in the picture or something (he's crazy, I know). Similar to drawing an animation in the corners of a book and flipping through it fast so it looks like it's moving.
What I'm wondering is, are there any apps that do this on Android?
Thanks in advance.

[APP] [updated] 4x4 Gyrometer/Inclinometer/Landmeter

Hello friends.
I am looking for an application for measuring car x and y tilt for offroad uses with 4x4 vehicle. Only one suitable app I found is the Kai's water level with its gyrometer feature,but this is very small and in my case I don't need bubbles,so I want to get a software to do my job,but with much larger indicator,angles and warnings as this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QegwIr4dle8
Is there anybody here,who can mix both functionalities of these softwares for me(cause I am not skilled with C)to one application? Super graphic effects aren't necessary.
Thanks in advance.
Very cool idea. I found this http://sites.google.com/site/srlappsproject/home/on-the-level-app its for android but looks cool.
This is very ideal,but for iPhone

In truth that's not a difficult app to write, however, I think you'll have issues if you are planning on using it on the move, as the sensor only measures the gravity that it perceives, so if you move the phone around, it gets terribly confused as to where "down" is.
I'm guessing you want to know that an incline of over x degrees is likely to cause the vehicle to tip, etc, but if you are bumping over rough ground, then you'll never get an accurate reading anyway IMHO.
Cheers,
Steve.
Well,I know,that the sensor reacts also for acceleration,because normally it measures inertial forces and the result is not depended only on the gravity. Anyway,it should be okay,because I need it for very slow motion of the car in difficult terrain and I want to see,if my tilt angle(especially to side) is in tolerance,because I don't want to flip the car on the roof. Are you skilled with this "easy" programming?
I would be happy to do the graphics for it just tell me what you need.

I wouldn't necessarily say "skilled", but I wrote the Touch Incall Screen Tweak which turns on/off the screen during a call based on the orientation of the phone, so I'm familiar with working with the accelerometer.
Cheers,
Steve.
Okay,I will prepare demo application tomorrow for PC. I want to have the functionality of the software in video,but with comparable graphics as Kai's bubble level gyrometer(visible horizont). It will be lonely one application of its type on the world,so you can be rich.
Maybe a little something like this. The buttons at the bottom would change color depending on the alarm setting for each angle. You could change that setting by pressing the corresponding button. The numbers in the buttons would give you the actual ° reading.
Just a thought.
Ok, I pulled a stupid moment, there would only be 2 axis, Yaw and Tilt. I was thinking 3D
Also the Waterlevel app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411550 has the open source files posted with it, may save some time.
For me is enough to have just 2 axis. The front-end angle and side angle. The image posted before is quiet perfect,but we should have 4 buttons for X-warning,X-max,Y-warning-Y-max,when I hit one of them,I will be able to adjust it. Of course some notifications for these warnings are welcomed as well as angle value visible on the screen all the time.
Next thing what is also welcomed is the power-on ability to prevent auto-dim/off the display. All the things should be visible from the driver's place,when the phone is fixed on the dashboard,so the fonts should be big enough and of course the calibration function to be present.
With this picture you have saved me lot of time spended with programming the PC demo-now isn't needed,because all features are explained.
Anyway,thank you for your help and willingness.
Something more like this? Then pressing the X or Y button would take you to a setup page that you could set warning sounds for yellow or red and you could also set degrees for the setpoints of yellow warning and red warning for each axis.
Quiet perfect!
Can you enlarge the degree fonts and locate them to the bottom corners nearby the circle? Also the labels "Actual" are not necessary. Into the top corners maybe you can locate Calibration button and options/exit(if it will be fullscreened). The warning sounds is also not bad idea...
Like this?
Absolutely perfect!!!
Well done mate.
Now just make it working and it will be super. Are you able to make it alive?
Sorry I do not have that talent, wish I did.
Oh,what a shame. I'll try to take some developers here...
I think this needs moved to the developers thread.
Please, make this dream come true! I'm looking for this kind of software too!

[GAME] Galaxy Jet -[R]- 11/08/2011 -[U]- 11/17/2011 -[V]- 1.1

Name: Galaxy Jet
New space shooter survival game - FREE, without ads, with online leaderboards. By motion sensor / joystick / or left finger you control the jet (up and down). By tapping on bonuses you are gaining special skills - than you can fire the laser (with right flick gesture), or fire the shock wave (with pinch gesture). Can you beat me in the highest score? In update v1.1 has been fixed the yellow planets, now you can always fly between them.
Note: This game has been built for educational purposes, so you can learn how to develop it on bit.ly/smartmania (unfortunately, it's written in the Czech language, but you can try to use the translator). I also registered this game to one our local competition... Btw. if I gain 8.000 downloads, I will win the Xbox 360 and will be very happy You can take a look on this game, if you want... I'm also preparing the second game now, I hope I will finish it in a few weeks.
Images: bit.ly/galaxyjet (I still can't post links here, can you please embed this image here? Thanks a lot!)

downloading. I send my review in a while. Thanks.
Ok, after play this game yesterday, i found this:
-Games runs smoth in Samsung Focus v1.3 (Mango).
-God idea use power ups with gesture movements.
-Nice graphics (for an educational game).
-Leaderboards are a nice feature too.
-Would look better if the background had movement
-The use of the motion sensor is a good one, unfortunately there is not a way to calibrate the sensor. The use of the finger to move the plane turns difficult to pass between some yellow planets.
I think with some improvements the game have a good future. Of course there is much better games, but this have a nice start.
nice and free
Very enjoyable game and it looks very pretty too, well done!
thanks man cool
