DDR anyone?

[Guest djfuego]

Has anyone attempted a Dance Dance revolution clone for the smartphone yet? I'd say it's quite possible. any Ideas..

:?:

[Guest roozbeh]

what is that dance dance revolution?

[Guest phonesmarts]

its a dancing game where you have a foot pad with a bunch of arrows on it. you look at the screen and you follow the arrows. it sorta looks like this:

[Guest mike-oh]

this is a joke right?

[Guest roozbeh]

so this guy means to install foot pad on spv?

It'd be pretty easy, I think.

There's a Beatmania/DDR clone out there on the PC (Freeware) which uses Mod-like music.

IE Play the MP3 in the background, and use the mod to track where the beats are..

You wouldn't need a big foot-thing.. It works well enough with buttons..

I'd give it a go myself, but I'm already working on my 2nd game..

Plus.. I could do with a 128Mb card before I even begin working on it :)

For those wondering, My first game's awaiting a bunch of levels... (currently 17 levels, but quite small) It's slowly growing!! It'll be done soon... Maybe a week, maybe two..

Sure someone could make use of the phones serial port to use a dance mat ... now there's something for the next modaco meet - a dance mat competition that is being run on a smartphone ... how about multiple users going head to head linked via BT :-)

[Guest phonesmarts]

lol, a usb foot mat...and for BT phones, BT foot mats. you can also compete w/ other BT phones that have the foot mat. DDR anywhere, anytime.

[Guest mike-oh]

oh my life ](*,)

using the keys on the phone perhaps, but a foot pad u r seriously takin the preverbial!

[Guest siu99spj]

Nnnooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Its bad enough these migrated to the PC, but please not the smartphone. Its bad enough carrying around the camera, can you imagine carrying around a dance mat??!??

And how would you get the phone recognising multiple angles at once? Unless of course you set up each direction on the mat to be a different key, and hence combinations being different keys. And then there's the slow speed of the serial port...

STOP!! You're already thinking to much about this! :)

[Guest phonesmarts]

hey, the mat can fold up....whip it out when you have competition!

[Guest djfuego]

LMFAO :)

I was thinking along the lines of not using the mat but playing the game using the keypad..

*fits of hysterics*

Just try to imagine your everyday business man waiting for a train whilst playing DDR on his phone.. oh yeah with a dance mat plugged into it..

It ain't exactly practical

I was mearly suggesting porting something similar to the smartphone.

Not going the whole hog with the mat. How hard can it be to make a game where you press the keys at the correct time to the music when prompted by a cool scrolly display.

o i know what you mean....but what is the fun with the joypad/stick? you cant show off your amazingly acrobatic maneuvers? 8)

but yeah, i guess a joypad version would do...:)

[Guest MECX]

i sure as hell wouldent buy one but id pay good money to watch :D ;)

Oh man what a topic :lol: :P

I reckon a beatmania game for the phone would be pretty cool and work quite well. Not so sure about DDR though. Might smash me phone jumpin' on it.

[Guest phonesmarts]

hey, you know you can lose weight with DDR? well, there might be a place where you could just whip out your smartphone/mat and dance to the music. its like yoga, or aerobics, but a lot more strenuous. :D
