mSpede is a Speed testing game based on a machine like this:
http://www.realgames.org/KUVAT/nopeustesti.jpg

I named the game mSpede because the speed testing machine was made popular in Finland by Pertti "Spede" Pasanen (a Finnish film director and producer, comedian, humorist, inventor, TV personality and practitioner of gags, died in 2001) who had his own game show, and also because word "spede" is almost like word "speed" :)

just grab graphs from the device pictures and it is perfect :D

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

I was going to first but then I decided to go with my own graphs :)

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

or actually a 3d model + 3d accelerated stuff... just kidding. this only brings a lot of memories from speden spelit :)

Excellent!!
Kilpailu alkaa nyt nyt nyt!

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Tosi hyvä paitsi ei erota hyvin ku valot palaa...

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Great game!
I agree with daemonfin that the colours could be a bit more noticible, now it is just a tad too hard to see the colour change.
Personal best (after 2 tries 56 ;) )

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Could you upload an optified version too?
Just place a file named "optifiy" under the debian/ directory that says "auto".

For example:
That will do it. Easy and simple and will free almost 500Kb from the rootfs.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Properly optified 1.0.2-0 in extras-testing, needs another 10 votes and 10 days to get to extras.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

thats something about linux i dont understand or like xD
why does optifying need to be voted up if its just a matter of 1 file with 1 line of code in it?

assuming that optifying is sufficiently done by what v13 posted, of course...

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Yeah I also think it would be nice if app has made it to Extras then the developer could update new version there without the quality check system.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Are you going to do something about balls light?

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Oh yeah, perhaps I should. I'll try to have time to fix it today and upload a new version to testing.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

The game really requires those sounds that the machine makes when a button is light up.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

I don't remember it making a sound...What kind of sound?

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Thanks, kiitos :D

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Version 1.1.0 now (or soon) in testing.

Changes:
* Added more contrast between lit and unlit buttons
* Buttons are lit until next button gets lit or button is clicked
* Changed the speeding "algorithm" a little (can't tell if it's better or worse now :D)

I think sound is the only thing that is to be added anymore.

EDIT: Url http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...spede/1.1.0-0/

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Tested the newest version from -devel. Could you make the contrast difference even greater? Say... make the unlit buttons darker. Now its kind of difficult to tell when a button is lit and when not especially in bit brighter lightning.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

I'll do it sometimes in the future at the same time when I add sounds. I thought the contrast was fine even in the first version, but people have different kind of eyes.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

This was my idea one day. I'm glad that someone made it true (;

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Howdy.

I had some spare time and played around with the mSpede layout. Here is the result :)

PM me if you are interested and I'll chop it up in PNGs and deliver it to you.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Very nice :)

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Nice to see some good visuals coming along with new apps

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

I compiled a version with graphics provided by markusm (thanks again very much), if you want to try it out, you can download the binary from http://tinyurl.com/y5cr5vu . I won't yet upload a new version to extras-devel since there's nothing new besides the graphics, I'll do it sometimes when I have time to add sounds also.

Step by step (do as a default user, not root):
1. Download the binary to your device
2. Move it outside of MyDocs if not already (for example "mv ~/MyDocs/mspede ~")
3. Add executable flag ("chmod a+x ~/mspede")
4. Execute ("~/mspede")

You can also move/copy the binary to /opt/maemo/usr/bin (for this you need root access) if you like to replace the uglier version from repository with this nice piece of art :)

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Any chance you might reconsider uploading the version with the new graphics to the extras-devel so that us mere mortals could try it too? Terminal is not really my playground :)

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

same advice than to million other similar questions: just wait. or learn how to do it. if you decide to learn, learn how to reflash first.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

Actually a bit silly advise in this occasion as I am the one who made the graphics ;) Not too unreasonable to make a kind request I believe.

Re: [Maemo5] mSpede - A speed test game
 

actually it is a bit unreasonable because the reason for not uploading app to extras-devel has been very clearly told before. It is all the same zipped .deb vs extras-devel, devel vs testing, testing vs extras... there is always someone who wants to have something somewhere else. but unfortunately the solution is to wait now.

thanks for the graphics by the way.
