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.

Nice app! However, when I won the game, there's an error like this screenshot.

Santa Chaos - (My mini compo game)

Santa Chaos is a funny and addictive game for the whole family, catch as much gifts as you can and save the holiday...

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=www.sagitalsc.net

Used lib: Admob, Animation, Core, Reflection | Game is working with a timer... (Intro is done with *.SetLayoutAnimated() - B4a 4.0)

PS: Tap the santa to let him hohoho.... (have just uploaded the app so the link may work in few minutes only...)
Good Luck to everyone... :)

EDIT: Please download v1.0.2 (bug fixed and unchecked unused libs, file size 3.15 MB)

Could have used some more graphics but my designer let me down and am out of time :(

On the off change this gets a place, I want to donate the prize to Bill, think he goes by the name of reviewnow on b4x forum but will get confirmation if I get placed. :) Happy Christmas everyone :D

It's not completely finished, I've run out of time :oops:
The game element is pretty much done although I did think that an occasional target that isn't supposed to be hit might have been a nice touch. The Menu button does nothing, the intention was to be able to adjust the difficulty by setting the elf image size and initial refresh interval. The score button is what I'm currently working on and is very basic at the moment, it was supposed to show the score, hit ratio and date. I think that after searching the forums maybe I should have used the KeyValueStore class.

I've not got a Google Play account or anything like that as I'm only a hobbyist programmer and so please find attached my project file. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New year!

kind regards,
RandomCoder

@LucaMs very sorry about that! I purposely haven't upgraded to version 4 yet for that very reason. Anyway, here's the APK file (I believe it's been renamed result.apk presumably because I have used a space in the project name?).

Keep cool, ilan

I bet sorex is very busy at enjoying all the games he received from Santa in the form of compo's entries that he simply missed the deadline..eh eh

More seriously, I suggest to postpone the deadline to New Years' Eve so to allow a few others to take part to the compo.
