Guest maxh2003 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Hi all... I've put together another freeware time-wasting game for your enjoyment... FruitsForSmartphones is, unsurprisingly, a fruit machine emulator. The surprising part might be that all the graphics are replaceable so you can re-theme the thing exactly how you'd like it :D There are various ways to win, subgames and so on but I'll not spoil it; to start with all you need to know is that "5" starts the reels spinning, and "0" quits. You can download it from the usual place ( http://www.gamesforsmartphones.com ) - comments, feedback, replacement graphics and so on all welcomed as usual! Enjoy... maxh2003
Guest martin Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Nice game =D> I noticed there was no sound though and I kind of miss that in a fruit machine game. Is there any chance that sound could be added :D
Guest maxh2003 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I agree. Sound is a bit of a problem :-( Possibly you could do me a favour. If you put a WAV file of your choice on your phone as "\Storage Card\test.wav" it should try and play it when you win. Can you let me know, if you try it, how it performs? On my phone it works only sporadically, which is why I haven't built it into something better yet...
Guest martin Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 OK, I tried a test WAV file and this what I found on the C500. When you win on the reels it always plays When you finish the bonus cash climb it always plays It never plays on either of the other cash bonus screens (with question marks) when they finish so I don't if that has been programmed to play the WAV or not ? Hope this is helpful.
Guest radiator Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 maxh2003, great little game - good stuff! I was wondering whether I could contribute some graphics for it though? I don't mean to sound cheeky (as it is free after all), but the current graphics seem a little "unfinished", if you know what I mean. 2 questions; Have you purposely steered away from making it look like an actual fruit machine? How does the 'HOLD' button work (ie, what makes it flash? I presume this is part of the code as I could only find 1 graphic for this button)? Matt
Guest maxh2003 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) Have you purposely steered away from making it look like an actual fruit machine? LOLOL... my graphics suck, someone had to say it :D which is pretty much why I've made the graphics replaceable in this one :-) Anyway not as such, I just never really set out to make it look like a fruit machine. It wasn't *designed* to look like anything per se :P if you want to have a crack at making it look more like a real machine, please be my guest :D As for the HOLD button - the magenta colour is replaced with dark green when the button isn't lit, and bright yellow when it is lit. TBH the game behaviour is up for grabs, I can tweak it if it's worth doing... OK, so now you have to put your JPEGs where your mouth is! :twisted: :D :edit: it strikes me that you need to know a couple of things, namely that you need to not change the height or width of the files, else strange things will happen. Also you might like to know that the "background" colour is R=249, G=57, B=198... Edited January 30, 2005 by maxh2003
Guest radiator Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks for the info maxh2003. I'll have a go when I get home from work tomorrow... ;-) One other thing; is it possible to have the pause between each reel stopping increased (ie, first reel stops, then ½ second pause, then second reel stops etc.)? Would give more of an authentic look... Also, if you do implement sound fx, I can get hold of some fruit machine style sounds for you if you're interested...

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Feel free to upload to our freeware database :D P
Guest radiator Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I've started the graphics, seems to be taking longer than I expected... Just fruit so far, no background images ("purple thing" replaced with melon) ...and a hold button with a slightly different font/size
Guest maxh2003 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 ... if I might say, those new graphics kick a quite enormous amount of ass :D Radiator, if you're happy for me to do so I'd love to drop those fruits graphics (and, for that matter, the hold button) into the proper zip file. They're the same only much, much better - more like what I imagined than what I managed to draw!! - vxd, the same goes for your Euro graphics; is it OK if I put them in the proper zip file? first reel stops, then ½ second pause, then second reel stops etc.)? - certainly :P I'll take another look at the sound thing too. Thanks to martin for running the test; insanely, the sound is supposed to play on *any* win at all, but in practice it comes out subgame-specific! Which is, as I say, insane. Anyway the plan is to shelve the thing for a week or so to get my breath back. After that I quite want to add some kind of config file so you can more 'skin' the thing than just re-theme it - change graphics locations and sizes, plus all the various delays and so on. That's the idea, anyway :D and I promise I won't change any of the default graphics sizes, either. I might come up with some better filenames for 'em though :D Keep up the new graphics, guys :D and extra kudos to the first person to come up with a MoDaCo theme!
Guest martin Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 The sound is supposed to play on *any* win at all, but in practice it comes out subgame-specific! Which is, as I say, insane.Two of the subgames, those displaying 3x3 matrix, don't seem to actually pay out the money when you win so I think that's why the win sound doesn't play either. The other game which involves stopping the fast moving coins running right to left has a point where there are no coins (i.e ZERO, one, two, three, four, five) and if you stop it on ZERO coins in either row I don't think it pays out. A couple of things that I thought might improve the game - just ideas really. 1 Removing the time and make the game end when you simply run out of cash. 2 Two of the subgames take a bit longer to play but sometimes don't create enough winning money so it could be changed to win just large coins or nothing for each button press. Great game though and I look forward to any more releases :D
Guest Gorskar Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 Cool game. If you have a release you're happy with then it'd be great if you could add it to the New Modaco Freeware Downloads Section, so its easier for members to find. If you add a link back to this thread in the description then people can easilly find the relevant discussion thread. You should be able to edit it later too with later versions etc. :D
Guest radiator Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Radiator, if you're happy for me to do so I'd love to drop those fruits graphics (and, for that matter, the hold button) into the proper zip file... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No problem... Just working on background images at the moment.
Guest ultimasnake Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 hey max not sure what you are using you where talking about it only working sporadicly. If you are using OpenNETCF's way of playing a file it might happen dunno why. i have this code in C# that can play a wav file in a perfect loop over and over and over :( (but it is a bit laggy if you keep looping it too fast) it is rather primitive though, play and stop :lol: using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace (your project name here ofcourse ;P) { public class Sound { [ DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="PlaySoundW") ] private extern static int PlaySoundW(String lpszName, int hModule, int dwFlags); public string test = ""; public void Play(String FileName) { int hResult = PlaySoundW(FileName,0,0); } public void Stop() { int hResult = PlaySoundW(null,0,0); } } } good luck on the project :D
Guest DaddyCool Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 My mate and me are gonna hopefully start making mobile games soon. So I’ve used this as an opportunity to have a go at the graphics side with your great game 8) Except the euro coins and only slightly tweaked the gamesforsmartphones text, all of the gfx have been replaced. I don’t know how to take screenshots of the game in progress, so I’ve attached the background image with the buttons and fruit in place for a preview. Download the file and give em a go. :DDC_Graphics.zip
Guest DaddyCool Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Whiped up a MoDaCo theme based on the graphics of the last one I did. Just replace the graphic files with the ones of the same name in the fruits for smartphone graphics folder Heres a preview (I still cant take screenshots)mod_Graphics.zip
