I have to agree. People should at least be given the chance to learn. Its a bit arrogant to assume that others are incapable of learning what you have.

Well done RevgKathy keep learning.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Anyways, sheep is now in extras-devel. I would be grateful if someone, without any extra qt packages installed could check if it install clean (especially the issue may be with libqt4-gui).

Thanks.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you for the endless patience. I feel about as stupid as a sheep with this stuff. But I have the grim determination of a jack-russell terrier. I hate to be beaten. Just remember you're talking to someone who knows ZERO when you're giving me instruction. Start with 'turn n900 on' and go from there, brick by brick. Never assume I know anything.

I am so, so, so chuffed with the sheep. They started as an idea on a bus. To see them sheepily wambling around the screen was awesome.

Huge thanks to the artists, and to Hopbeat for the code (and lcuk in the background, I believe).

I look forward to polished sheep (shorn?) before long. :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Oh, Now I see the problem with accelerometer, I have been using it not laying down flat but 'standing' on the table. Controls works differently there, I will fix it :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Ok, i'm at the same level as Kathy so be gentle with me! :)

I installed it from extras dev :) :)
And there's no icon or anything...

So i went into x-term and typed sheep!
It runs!


Only problem i have now is.... erm, Sheep run left.... and well, thats it,
I can't exit or do anything.
Ctrl-Shift-Backspace won't get me out either :|

**some time later**(Counting sheep etc!)

Thankfully - Pressing powerbutton and end current task works fine! :)

Not sure why my sheep constantly run left - accelerometer is working fine :| - just tested bounce to make sure.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Ok, My first impressions....
Looks funky! - great idea, and love the images! :) :)

Bit confused about the green and red dots thing?
Also as mentioned before. Tilting right goes right, left goes left. Tilting down goes up? and up goes down? that is a bit confuzzling - maybe can be like that on a hard level? hehehe :)

And the obvious - needs an exit method :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

@noobmonkey, you can just press ctrl-backspace to bring the dashboard and close application from there. The same goes for starting, using xterm is the right way to atm. This will be of course fixed in the more-advanced version :)
Maybe I should've stressed it: IT IS EXTRAS-DEVEL, IF YOU GO THERE YOU MAY GET HURT.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

the console 101 class is down the hall.
this is shepherding.

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Hehe thanks Hop :) - both work fine :) - yeah was expecting this to be different hard etc, so i apologise if i stated the obvious :)

I feel safe, Kathy did it first :) - and it worked :) - hehe (Extras devel disabled for now!)

I think you have done a great job so far :) - sheep may need to move a little quicker/smoother? - can't tell until the direction bit makes sense though, as it's hard to adjust :)

Re: Accelerometer game proposal: sheepdog
 

Hmmmm, that really sounds quite evil! hehehe!
If i try, baseball bats will come out of my N900 and smack me round the head until i leave?! :)
