The year is reaching its end which means a lot of minigame compos will reach their deadline aswell.

What about a minigame compo for B4A with a Christmas based theme for the game(s)?

A month left to create a minigame which should be enough.

Rules could be...

- Christmas/Winter themed
- Made in B4A (source need to be provided as proof)
- Made by yourself (not taking a flappy bird or match3 game example from this forum and just replace some gfx)
- Game may not be released before by you on Google Play (as in no quick game recycling by using new gfx to fit the theme)
- Filesize limit not set yet (5Mb?)
- Deadline reached, the poll is online.
- Voting from Dec 28 - Jan 1st via forum poll?
- Attenders/Winners might know the result on Jan 1 2015

Erel knowing, he might throw in some B4i+B4A,B4i license(s) or something for the winner or top3.

Erel is so kind to donate 3 B4i + hosted Mac builder licenses for the top 3.


So it's always worth attending for that, the fun , the challenge or to explore the other side of app building (games).

See it as promoting your skills and the possibilities of B4A.

I speak for myself.. it was pure and simple laziness.. eh eh
Anyway, later this evening or tomorrow morning I'll publish my contribution for the competition

I candidate it for the micro-game category being it a mere 830KB, half of which due to music alone.

I might have to join you in the micro category, currently at a mere 680KB but still some more to do. Hoping I'll get time to finish it over the weekend or maybe Monday as I'm off work (however the wife has a list of jobs for that day :(). Either way I'll post whatever I manage to get finished.

Here you are, my micro-game waiting for your feverish fingers:
http://umbetest.web44.net/en

Obviously the game is the topmost entry on the site page, but feel free to have a look at the other old stuff too.

Libraries used: Reflection, StringUtils and dgPickers
Classes: DraggableView, CustomListView
Module: StateManager (the Settings half of it).

Disclaimer: the game could lead to addiction. Use only when you're at the bus-stop or any other 5 minutes wait situation :)

I'm using:
FileHelper (my own lib to extract parts of a path)
JavaObject+Reflection
MSAnimator (my own yet-to-be released lib to do view animations)
Phone
Threading
MSStaggeredGridView (to be named MSGridViews and to-be-released one day, to do the drag/drop gridview)

Here is the paste from the B4A source, but many of them are added for experimentation:
NumberOfLibraries=13
Library1=core
Library2=javaobject
Library3=msstaggeredgridview
Library4=mediabrowser
Library5=filehelper
Library6=msanimator
Library7=reflection
Library8=msmaterialmenu
Library9=stdactionbarhelper
Library10=threading
Library11=phone
Library12=callsubextended
Library13=mscardview
