1) Backlight doesn't remain on.
2) Timer should be visible in the game. Currently it isn't.
3) When the ball reaches the green square. it does not jump to next level.

Thanks!

Exactly i love the game but that are things i also miss. auto-generating maps would also be nice.

When the ball reaches the finnish point, the application exhibits high cpu usage and does not proceed to the next level.

I have a feeling its due to the way I check for collisions, which i've been meaning to change now for a while but just never got it working properly. But I will look into that issue. Thanks

Yeah, the icon really needs to be changed, will try fix it soon. As for the backlight and the menu bar, I'm currently trying to figure out how to keep the backlight on (found a few examples using dbus, but not sure if thats the best method or not), and the menu bar will be gone once i figure out how to add buttons to the QGraphicsView :)

The timer will be implemented once i figure out how to add back buttons etc to the QGraphicsView since i'll need to display it in a widget of some sort. In the mean time, I might try to implement it into the main bar title. And I can't believe the idea to progress to a new map once finished didn't occur to me :o will be added to new version.

Sorry I may have misunderstood, can you explain what you mean by auto-generating maps please. :)

There is a free version of Labyrinth in the ovi store. I may in the future decide to implement something similar to it, but at the moment I won't be able to include it due to time constraints and there's already a much better version made :o

Thanks for the suggestions guys :D

Re: [Announce] Maezer 1.0 *Beta*

New version is out :D

Fixed collision checking to check for surrounding 6 boxes only, not all map - speed increase
Changed the painting method to just paint the area that was changed - massive speed change
Backlight now stays on thanks to http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=694421&postcount=5 and another thread i can't find now :(
Timer now implemented again and displays as the window title
When map finishes, option for a new game/map is given

When people test the backlight aspect of the game, can anyone report back if their backlight stays on? Sometimes my backlight behaves, and sometimes it stays on even after closing the app. Thanks
