So here is the thing: I removed the download file (removed, not deprecated) and the posts but there is nothing I can do about the checked in code and .deb in the repo as Google Code does not allow rollbacks and removes.

Closing the project might be a way but then the link is gone too. I will look into it when I get home (I'm on the move atm).

Sorry all, escpecially my fellow competing coders. Please share your view like @jackburton, so we can figure this out. If you agree that this was not fair I will retreat from the competition.

Edit: According to the statistics 24 people already downloaded the 0.1.0 already. Nothing I can do about this either. Will post a screenshot of this with timestamp later when I'm home..

Definitely don't retreat. I was just explaining my opinion on the matter :)

Is your package in extras-dev?

You could always repackage the old code as a newer version in the repo so that people will either get downgraded (if they install updates) and new people will get the original upon first install from extras-dev.

Alpha Strike
Developer: aStrike
Category: Games, Graphics & Multimedia
Beginner: Yes
Platform: Fremantle (N900)


Application Description:
Alpha Strike is a fast-paced 3D action shooting game in which you move the player with the accelerometer and shoot with the on-screen joystick. Your target is to shoot as many robotic enemies as you can while avoiding their attacks and using the health or weapon bonuses. As you kill more enemies, your score gets higher. The game was created by me from scratch and is original (not a port of an existing game). Alpha Strike was programmed on and for the N900 using C++. It uses SDL1.2 and OpenGL ES2.0 for the 3D graphics rendering. It is currently aimed for the N900, but I think it is fairly portable to other platforms too.
The game features include: High-res textures, varied and multicolored arenas, keyframe animations for the game figures, vertex buffer objects, interleaving and indexed arrays for better performance, highscores system, visual effects such as lighting with textures, simple reflections and shadows, textured animations with particles effects for explosions and bullet collisions, etc.

Instago
Developer: dirksonguer
Category: Games, Graphics & Multimedia
Beginner: No
Platform: Harmattan


Application Description:
Instago is an Instagram client for Meego / Harmattan. It lets you browse through the popular photos stream of Instagram, view photos in detail and take a look at the user pages.

As such it’s a simple viewer at the moment. Now obviously the intersting part of Instagram would actually be able to upload images. However I’m not going to reverse engineer posting images to Instagram nor will I try. Instead, here is what I’m going to do:

Step 1: Implement as much features as possible without actually authenticating myself (via OAuth). Test it, have a beta and then push it to the Nokia Store. This is the current state of the application (well, the beta part).

Step 2: Implement user authentication and have all the interactive features (like searching, friends, likes, news stream and so on). Test it, have a beta and push the update to the Nokia Store.

Step 3: Contact Instagram and beg to be approved for official upload support :)

I started developing the application from scratch about three weeks ago in my spare time. The progress is documented on my N9 blog here: http://n9development.tumblr.com/

Also I’m pushing the code to a Google Code project here: http://code.google.com/p/n9-developm...runk%2Finstago

Download Instructions:
You can download the current version of the application (v0.0.2) here: http://code.google.com/p/n9-developm....0.2_armel.deb

Other versions can be found in the download section: http://code.google.com/p/n9-developm...downloads/list

Please note that you have to allow installations from other sources than the Nokia Store. See details here: http://techprolonged.com/index.php/2...ego-harmattan/.

Download Instructions:
Announce thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1263786
1. Enable extras-devel
2. In Hildon App. Manager install MaeLyrica or as root:

Square-It
Developer: piggz
Category: Games, Graphics & Multimedia
Beginner: No
Platform: Harmattan


Application Description:
The game is an implementation of the Square-It/Dots-Dashed/Squares game you may have played with pencil and paper as a child. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-it.

The aim is to ’own’ the most squares on the board by drawing lines between adjacent dots.

There are 2 modes of play:
2 players on one phone
2 players over the internet

When playing on one phone, each player takes turns, and the board says whos turn it is.

When playing over the internet, a player cannot make a move if it is not their turn.

To play online, you must set up an account with an email address, any invites you receive will be shown in the ’Existing Internet Games’ dialog.

The game has been completely implemented since the beginning of the coding competition, the first releases being made in September-2012.

As well as the phone client, the work also included a node.js server for handling the internet games.

In the future, clients will be available for as many devices as possible that support Qt, including N900/Symbian/Android and Playbook/BB10

Download Instructions:
The latest version is available from the TMO thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1260905 which also includes a version history, todo list and additional screen shots.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
I hope I did not break any rules but:

I just updated AlloCine to version 0.9.6 because english translations were not working with 0.9.5

I don't know what should be taken into account for the coding competition so I let the "authorities" decide :-)

- 0.9.4 was released in time but french only (Only FR API used - No translations)
- 0.9.5 was released after end date but the only change is english translation and choice between FR or UK API. No other functionnal change.
- 0.9.6 is a bugfix (english translations were not applied)

Both 0.9.4 and 0.9.6 packages are available on the AlloCine thread. (I removed 0.9.5 which is just useless because translations were not working)

I wouldn't have made that 0.9.6 update if I was not sure that it would help most of english speakers here understanding what the application is doing. If it is needed to be removed, I can do it but of course I'd prefer not to rely only on french speakers for the vote :)

Now that translations are (hopefully) working, I do not plan to update the package on the thread. However since I'm still working on the app, the source tree will be updated continuously on GitHub.

As it's not new funationality per se, but a translation to help English speakers use the existing features, we can probably sneak that under our grey area cloaking device.

I'd be very much happier if you'd all stop updating your packages, but thank you to the ones being upfront about it :) Bigger thanks to the ones playing to the letter of the competition rules though - much respect! :cool:

To clarify this: "push to the repository" means "extras-devel", "Ovi Store" (and alike) or a source code repository? I pushed some experimental stuff to the source code repository (https://gitorious.org/flatboat). Most of this is android/OS X specific and doesn't bring any new features to maemo. Do I have to setup another non-public source code repo during the competition? If this is the case, I think this rule is rather counterproductive to the aim of the competition (encourage people to develop).

Another thing that I'm interested in, is a voting guideline: Is there anything everybody should test with every application? Should I install every application I can, or is it OK, not to test an application that does not seem to be interesting (judged by its description)? If I need a long time to figure out, how an application works, shall I regard this as a "minus point"?

Finally, I'd suggest that the next coding competition (if there is one) is less restrictive towards existing applications (e.g. let them be part of their respective category). Maemo has a lot of different applications in certain categories (e.g. media players). A simple improvement to one of them could be of greater benefit, than a shiny new one and editing old code (or even foreign old code) can be a bigger challenge than starting fresh with a clean concept.

Code repository should be fine, please don't make a new release with it. TBH I don't really want to get into a discussion around this frafl, as I said a page back please don't ask me! My official position is as was in the rules

Quote:

There will be a feature freeze on entries during the voting stage of the competition. Please limit your code changes to bug fix only for any competition entry release during this period, and this restriction should remain until the end of the vote.
I can feel that everytime I discuss it then it weakens. What happens is that some people just ignore the rule. Which leaves me and others in a difficult situation - do we try to stop the voting to remove the entry? We most likely will not have the time again with X-Fade to re-set up the vote. Do we disqualify it after voting has been set up? A lot of people might have votes wasted, and there's a lot of people giving up their own time to try and get these things set up and running - it just messes everyone about and makes us all look amateurish. So often I'm trying to find ways to keep people in. I don't really understand why people do it - if someone has a problem with the rules then why did they enter? It's only a week or two to not to push another release so we can get the voting over and done with.

Ohh i can feel myself tumbling into the downward spiral of competition depression... :rolleyes:

It's purely up to yourself how to vote. No-one expects you to have the time to install and compare every application, if in doubt just stick to what interests you.

Thank you for your suggestion. In previous competitions we kept upgrades within the respective categories. If you look back in this thread you'll see where we discussed this for this competition, and the initial feedback was that upgrades would not be included at all. It was then agreed to give them their own separate category. So this year's competition was changed due to feedback requesting the change. Hopefully you can bring your suggestions in the setting up phase of the next competition, if it has support then it's what the competition will do :)

kojacker,

To put you further into depression :p, can I know if Adventlands has a support page? As I downloaded and installed the app and it doesn't run when clicking on the icon...

It only runs when I attempt to open it via terminal...I'm sad that valuable entries are having trouble due to Qt Creator not getting people's apps working as they do in the simulator :(

I did not ask for an exception or change (for this competition), I just wanted to understand the meaning of the rule. "Limit your code changes" is not what I consider I precise rule. When I entered I made the reasonable guess that it means debian source packages as uploaded to extras-devel or similar, but your earlier post changed that assumption.

I'm afraid you know as much about the entries as I do, if a support page is added to the description then I add it also .. hmmm.. thank you again for testing :) i need reach out and see what's happening.

It pretty much means what you reasonably guessed.

Hello Thedead1440, my support page is only my e-mail:
tommyj23@gmail.com
This problem is the worst problem that I can have, in the simulator it runs ok, but in QT not all that works on simulator works on phone, anyway, if you get it working, please tell me how to put it in the instructions to install, please send me an e-mail, thanks, and sorry for this issue

This problem is the worst problem that I can have, in the simulator it runs ok, but in QT not all that works on simulator works on phone, anyway, if you get it working, please tell me how to put it in the instructions to install, please send me an e-mail, thanks, and sorry for this issue

I bet it's or aegis problem or wrong flags for invoker. Is it open source?

Because I don't know yet. Woody has the voting tables set up and sent to X-Fade, who will send out the voting emails and start the voting off. He's the only one who can do it, he has been on vacation the past week and wasn't at the Friday meeting. His contract with Nokia has already ended but he's helping in his own free time. Whenever I know more I'll update it, but you could get your voting email before I find out. Voting will last about a week after you receive it.

Woody has done a great job getting voting set up. I don't know that X-Fade has committed to doing the voting for the competition - read the log: http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclo...08-31.log.html

My advice:
X-Fade's availability and our support inside Nokia has diminished dramatically. I'd hate to see the voting delayed, since we don't want to do anything that could even possibly, potentially, jeopardize getting the devices from Nokia to be used for prizes. QGil has left Nokia and asked that we not identify the Nokia person responsible for sending out the devices. Mind you, there is no explicit suggestion that the availability of devices is in jeopardy, this is just my own nervous concern and risk analysis. Is your backup plan ready? The dissatisfaction from using it will certainly be less than the dissatisfaction that will result if the devices are not received by the winners.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
There's been some talk about making updates to applications participating in the competition, so here's my "full disclosure" so that nothing's unclear:

I've made updates to ProfileMatic. Version 1.7.1 has been actually done on competition timeframe (even though Nokia Store QA took over 3 weeks to approve it, so it was not in Store in that time). Another version might surface too soon.

But these updates are only bug fixes. No new features. I can't delay putting out bug fix versions as there is quite a bit existing users already for the application.

Hope that's okay.

Hi all, hope everyone's doing well. I haven't been online much today, unfortunately received some horrible news that last night my friend, his brother, and their father had died in a farming accident. I have quite a few emails to get through and the rest of the submissions to put up - I hope you'll be patient with me as I might not be online much tomorrow either. It's a reminder to everyone that life is precious and we need to make sure we cherish every day :(

Thanks SD69. I think from the meeting of the Friday before last, that X-Fade seemed confident that he will be able to do it as long as Woody had done the leg work. I'm fairly confident that he'll do it as it's not a lot of work left now, it's just a matter of seeing when he's got the time to do it

The only backup we have is forum threads, hopefully anonymous polls with Reggie's help to remove votes from duplicate/invalid users ids.

From the last discussions I had, I was under the impression that QGil had left things ready with a contact that the council has. You're making me fairly nervous and concerned that, as a member of council, you're nervous and concerned..

Ofcourse, we want you to fix bugs :)

By the way, have you thought about creating an "[Announce]" page for adventlands? It's a great for people to find out more about your application without needing to email you :) Also, you'll get less emails if they find their questions are already answered in the Announce thread. It'll save you time and headaches in the long run ;)

maecaltasks
Developer: jackburton
Category: Desktop, System & Utilities
Beginner: No
Platform: Fremantle (N900)


Application Description:
It’s a task list GUI wrapper built around the native calendardb of the N900. The default UI really sucks. The API is strong. This app tries to bridge the gap. One of the benefits of using the native calendar is that tools such as syncevolution should still work with it.

I added a feature to store the tasks and notes items in the databases in their own folders. There are also a few ’smart’ views.

Most of the work I did was around designing and building the UI.

Download Instructions:
This should be available via extras-dev. Both builds I submitted said ”OK”.

modern computer flatboat
Developer: frafl
Category: Desktop, System & Utilities
Beginner: No
Platform: Fremantle (N900)

Application Description:
(modern computer) flatboat is a pdf viewer designed for mobile devices. I started developing it in early August 2012. As the pdf library, I use MuPDF’s libfitz (which I ported to maemo for that purpose), whereas the GUI is written in Qt (QML).
Since I needed a reader for (multicolumn) mathematical PDFs, flatboat tries to detect columns by joining the text blocks of libfitz’s fz_text_page. Nearly every function has a key mapped to it, so that you don’t need the touchscreent to view the PDF. This is especially true for the column mode, where the next button (and keys mapped to it) scroll down, until the end of the column is reached.
The document viewed before the current one is accessible via 1, the one before via 2 a.s.o., a list of all these documents is provided if you press O (for open) or click on ”file”.
The uses may toggle the flicking directions with the key S or by clicking the toggle button in the upper bar.
Because the first search in a document reads all fz_text_pages and converts them to QStrings, it is quite slow, but this speeds up further searches drastically.
Text mode is just an emergency mode (equals pdftotext or similar), which will probably be removed, if I implement a real reflow mode.

For a timeline of my work, see the git repository:
https://gitorious.org/flatboat

Download Instructions:
m.c. flatboat is in Extras-Devel: http://maemo.org/packages/view/flatboat/

Saera
Developer: Taixzo
Category: Desktop, System & Utilities
Beginner: No
Platform: Fremantle (N900)


Application Description:
Saera is a Siri clone for Fremantle. I started this because there are like 5 Android ones that popped up after Siri was released, but nobody made one for the N900. Siri obviously is more integrated with iOS than Saera can ever hope to be with Maemo, but hopefully we can get close. Saera uses Pocketsphinx for voice recognition and eSpeak to talk, and calls out to modRana for navigation and local search. Saera can also do a few other things, with more being added every day:
- Tell you the time, both where you are and in a few major cities
- Greet you
- Verify she’s working, if you say ”testing”
- Take a picture
- Tell you random facts about the N900
- Tell you where you are if you’re lost
- Search for food near you
- Read you new emails as they come in
- Read you new IMs as they come in
- Set alarms
- Play and pause music

Download Instructions:
Saera is in the extras-devel repository; you can download it from the Application Manager once you’ve enabled the catalog.

VirtRanSim
Developer: Wikiwide
Category: Desktop, System & Utilities
Beginner: No
Platform: Fremantle (N900)


Application Description:
VirtRanSim is a simple Hildon Control Panel applet which allows user to choose a virtual keyboard to use. As far as I know, before it was created, the only way to change the onscreen virtual keyboard was to directly change the setting by writing a gconf command in X-Terminal. It was tedious, and not exactly user-friendly. This application can be started by clicking appropriate entry in Hildon Control Panel. It shows, in a dialogue, selector with list of files any of which could be used as a virtual keyboard. When the selection is changed, a banner (yellow strip) shows information about the currently selected file: name and description of the package to which it belongs. If the dialogue is dismissed, virtual keyboard is not changed. If the ”OK” button is pressed, virtual keyboard is set in accordance with the selection.

Download Instructions:
The package was uploaded to Extras-Devel with gracious assistance of Maemo Extras Assistant. It can be installed by ”apt-get install virtransim”, for instance, since the name of the package is ”virtransim”. The icon has been recently created, and is not included in the package yet. The most recent version is 0.1.1 for now, but it can quickly change: its current icon is very confusing. Considering that the N900 it was created on is not working right now (hardware problem), beta-testers and any feedback would be welcome.

Oh well... :(

Is it only me or is it getting every year harder to make a choice? Whom to vote?! :confused:

Overwhelming... just overwhelming.

If Windows Phone would have such a strong and enthusiastic community they would have already overtaken Android. But luckily the good developers are ours! ;)

Fantastic Job guys and good luck!

Concur. It will not be an easy voting.

A phone can have incredible hardware - camera, gyroscope, magnetometer, et cetera. If only it had MeeGo or Maemo or Nemo or Mer or whatever open source operating system is the easiest to port and tune to perfection... Windows is not my cup of tea. XP is not easy to work with, and the later versions of Windows even more so, with their useless Aero interface. Windows is hopelessly bloated; partly due to its backward compatibility (with a 18-years-old application, for instance), it doesn't feel like whole environment - it feels like bits and pieces, old ruins and recent patches.
I have seen Android. Off the top of my hat, two complaints: the same wallpaper on different screens (compare with different wallpapers of Maemo; Maemo's looping wallpaper is a work of art), and continuously beeping camera (I understand that the phone lacks a dedicated camera button, but there should have been a software half-press-capable button, then). I also don't understand at all whether it's capable of multitasking or not: no task manager seen. And getting Internet on phone through USB from Ubuntu computer... is challenging, to say the least.

My gratitude to you, and to everybody reading, and/or somehow involved with Maemo (or any open source software). Good night, and good luck.

Just vote for me! Problem solved :D

I am actually quite impressed with the quality of apps/games I have seen. My app doesn't look too nice, but the work I have done has been completed in my spare time and it's mostly backend stuff.

Quick reply... Voting for human, not for app? Let me see... One of participants has nine entries in three categories; two different developers have each four entries in different categories; another one - five in five... [Counted from the wiki; can somebody take time to clear it up, to compare it with the final lists of entries?] It's not uncommon to have two or three entries, in one or two categories. Overall, it's overwhelming...
My own planned (utilitarian) approach is: voting only for applications which I would actually find useful, probably irreplaceable, on my own phone. Such as, Modrana. MeeCoLay looks promising... Preferably, after testing them on my own device, but good description and screenshots may have to suffice - my N900 is still out of commission.
Best wishes.

Crap, I heard about that all the way in Australia, is that the 3x that died in a slurry pit while trying to save their pet dog?
One of them was an up & coming Rugby player for Ireland, the whole thing sounded so terrible/tragic :(

Apart from my condolence for kojacker, I'm a bit confused about an entry: PowEdit.
This app seems to be for the Fremtantle (typo! :) ) (N900) platform, but from the screenshots it looks like to be for harmattan, but in the announce thread I think it is for fremantle.
Can the developer please clarify on it, thanks.

Oh you heard about it away out there? That's right, Nevin was a rugby player and played for my county. i can honestly say that he, his brother, and their father were some of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. His mother Essie is devestated, as you can imagine, but atleast her daughter is back home again now from hospital :(

Sorry b0unc3 the confusion is most likely mine as i rush through the submissions, that's why you all need to be paying attention to what im doing :p I think it's for Fremantle, I'll check I have the right screenshots...

Edit: yep, those are the screens I received. It might be just the emulator or whatever they were grabbed from. I wish those pesky kids would return my N900 so i can try these out...

Edit2: marmistrz replied to my email to confirm that PowEdit is for Fremantle, he just makes all his apps with a 'Harmattan-style' :)

Oh I know something you all don't know (yet) :D

If you haven't done so already, please follow the advice in this post and link your TMO and maemo.org accounts together. You might need the karma very soon...;)

http://wiki.maemo.org/Link_talk.maem...mo.org_profile

It takes a couple of days so best to do it earlier :)

Sorry for the OT post, it is somewhat related to the prior post though. Wondering if you got any idea with this.
I look through the email archive of a discussion a partook in & maemo.org labels me as Jed Frechette.* (05/07/07)
I'm sure I rego'd with maemo.org at the same time as I rego'd for TMO (26/10/09), possibly before, but I no longer have login details.
I'm wondering if maemo.org is just wrongly labelling me as Jed Frechette & I never rego'd, or I rego'd under something else :confused:
I guess it makes no sense that's me, as there's little chance I'd be with maemo.org for so long & not have rego'd with ITT/TMO.
But surely I've rego'd with maemo.org at some point!?!
I know all the emails I could've used (I think), so maybe admins can look me up using them?
And what are you teasing about WRT you knowing something we don't (yet)? tease! :D

*I often use pseudonyms so that could be me, although I dont recall ever using a pseudonym like that.

Hmm jalyst, or should I say Jed :p ... I don't have any idea about that to be honest. If you've tried looking through the site profile/settings/'forgot password' link/searching your inbox for the maemo.org registration email... then maybe the only ones that have access to the information that can help you with that are reggie/site supervisors or possibly the council.. sounds a bit weird :confused:

Oh the tease is that voting has been set up, the emails will be sent out shortly ;)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
Sorry to interfere but jalyst, looking thru the profile of Jed it seems as the TMO account isn't linked...

So why can't you just make a new Maemo.org profile and link it to your TMO account? You have more than sufficient karma to run for Council/Board too so why fret? The 39 karma Jed has is insignificant to you anyway :D

Yes I know it isn't linked, I probably never linked mine...
Just thinking maybe I did some stuff at maemo.org*, so I'd like that to count towards my TMO acct once linked.
But it's probably going to be too time consuming to determine if that or something else is mine.
And as you point out, if it is Jed it's not going to add too much to the overall count...
Think I'll just create a new one, maybe later I can hit-up the admins for a thorough search, & if we find something we can link that to my TMO acct instead.

*can't have been much at all, as surely I'd remember!
