Lander (v. 1.1.2)

(обновлено 2013-11-05)

Lander is an Android port of the 1990 game by the same name for Windows 3.1.

It is similar to the classic Lunar Lander game that everyone knows. One difference that sets Lander apart from the rest is that it uses side thrusters to change horizontal velocity and doesn't rotate (though v1.1.0 added that option). In my opinion, the style is easier to learn and more appealing than most Lunar Lander games. It can even be a bit addictive. With each round lasting just a few seconds, you don't need to decide if you have enough time to play it.

Features:
-Randomized terrain
-Touchscreen controls with custom scale and opacity
-Customizable keys (physical keyboard/D-Pad)
-Adjustable gravity, fuel, and thrust
-Improvements can be toggled (mainly for nostalgia)
-Gameplay modifications (unlocked for $1)

PERMISSIONS:
Market billing service - Used to unlock gameplay modifications with in-app purchase.

Tested in emulators to work great on Android 1.5+ as well as QVGA (tiny) to WXGA (tablet) screens! Also tested extensively on Motorola Droid, T-Mobile G1, and Logitech Revue.

For this port, permission and v1.3 source code has been provided by the original developer, George Moromisato (neurohack.com).

Please rate/comment! Just keep in mind that this is a near exact port of a classic game with some tweaks and modifications. That said, I ask that you don't rate negatively just because you don't like the old style.

PROBLEMS:
Please email me or submit to the issue tracker if you have problems! The issue tracker, which can also be used for suggestions, is available at http://tracker.pilot51.com.

Voice Notify (v. 1.0.9.1)

Pilot_51 опубликовал приложение 2011-07-19
(обновлено 2013-03-28)

Voice Notify announces status bar notification messages using Text-To-Speech (TTS), allowing you to know what a notification says without looking at the screen.

In Android 3.0 and above, toast (bubble) notifications will also be read.

As of 2012-10-14, VN is now open source under the Apache License 2.0! https://github.com/pilot51/voicenotify


FEATURES:
*Customizable TTS message
*Ignore specific apps or notifications containing defined text
*Choice of TTS audio stream (explained below)
*Choice of speaking when screen or headset is on or off, or while silent/vibrate
(Note: Due to API limitations, a headset that is connected when the VN service starts will need to be reconnected for VN to see the current state; also all Bluetooth devices are detected the same, headset or not)
*Quiet Time
*Shake-to-silence
*Custom delay of TTS after notification
*Repeat notifications at custom interval while screen off
*Notification log
*Post a test notification


PERMISSIONS:
Bluetooth - Required to detect whether Bluetooth headset is connected.
Vibrate - Required for Test option while in vibrate mode on Android 4.2.


For technical reasons, VN operates through Android's Accessibility service and must be enabled in the Accessibility settings.
For convenience, options are provided on the main screen to go to the Accessibility and TTS settings.
Android 1.5 is not supported since it doesn't have the Accessibility service.
Just to be clear, VN is intended to be a convenience tool and is not an accessibility tool.

The Accessibility service will give a warning that VN may be able to collect personal data. This is because Accessibility doesn't know what or how data passing through it is used by enabled apps. VN only uses Accessibility to read notification text which is passed directly to TTS and temporary memory (for the notification log). The TTS service (outside the control of VN) may also print spoken text in the logcat.


CAUTION:
Be aware of the accessibility apps that are enabled when you enable VN! To my understanding, the screwing up phone behavior mentioned in some comments is caused by other accessibility apps that were enabled when Accessibility was turned on. If you believe this is not the case and VN is causing these issues for you, please contact me.


ABOUT AUDIO STREAM OPTION:
Note that behavior of audio streams may vary by device or Android version, or my information could be incorrect as I've been unable to test them myself, so take these tips with a grain of salt.

Media stream if you want...
-the volume of VN to match most other apps.
-VN to speak without interrupting audio from other apps (e.g. music).
-VN to speak through an A2DP-compatible Bluetooth device.

Notification stream if you want...
-the volume of VN to match other notification sounds.
-other apps to be silenced while VN speaks.
-VN to use the speaker while a Bluetooth headset is connected.


PROBLEMS:
Please email me or submit to the issue tracker at http://tracker.pilot51.com, don't only leave a bad comment/rating! I cannot reply to comments or Android error reports (unless you leave contact info in the message) and many reported problems require that I ask for more details. If necessary, you can sideload any version from http://pilot51.com/apk/voicenotify.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Excessive battery drain in ICS and JB: http://tracker.pilot51.com/28

DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for the notifications that are announced. It is up to you to use the features provided to prevent unwanted announcing of notifications.
If you want your device silenced on a schedule, I would recommend using an app such as Timeriffic. (Not affiliated in any way, just what I use personally)

L-Clock (beta) (v. 0.6.6)

Pilot_51 опубликовал приложение 2011-03-31
(обновлено 2014-09-01)

L-Clock parses data from NASA.gov and SpaceflightNow.com and creates a formatted list of upcoming rocket launches.

Spaceflight Now contains perhaps the most comprehensive schedule for worldwide launches, while NASA is more up-to-date for their launches.

Touch an item in the list to display the detected launch date/time and the launch clock. The launch clock shows green and red text to indicate accuracy. For example, if it is green from the days to the minutes and red for the seconds, the parsed launch time didn't include seconds and 0 is used.

Alerts are created according to preferences for all launches that have a schedule accuracy to the minute or better. Press the menu button to access preferences. Volume buttons control notification volume while the app is visible.

L-Clock is currently in beta. There are a few important features missing and some issues that will be resolved by v1.0.0, but the basic concept is functional.

As of 2013-01-12, L-Clock is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0!
GitHub: https://github.com/pilot51/lclock

An inspiration for L-Clock is the MissionClock app for iOS.

Permissions:
Internet - Needed to download launch data and provide ads.
View network state - Needed to check connectivity before attempting to download data or fetch ads.
Vibrate - Used for alerts (optional).

Problems? Please email me or submit it to the issue tracker on GitHub or at http://tracker.pilot51.com (can also be used for suggestions).

Cannon (v. 2.0.0)

Pilot_51 опубликовал приложение 2010-09-15
(обновлено 2011-04-06)

Cannon is a 2D trajectory simulation/game. The basic objective is to adjust your angle and power in order to hit a target.

Version 2 recreates Cannon from the ground up using the AndEngine open source 2D game engine.

The touch screen controls use pressure sensitivity that will likely need adjusted for your device. It is in the Scale preferences screen. Move your finger with a soft touch to adjust angle and power, press harder to fire.

Too slow/boring? Increase the speed multiplier, also in Scale preferences.

Random Targets: Targets are placed randomly on the screen and you try to hit them to gain points. With both Collision and Keep Targets options enabled, as is the default, it becomes a real challenge as old targets become obstacles.

Custom: Create your own target via screen coordinates and change a variety of variables to try hitting it.

Permissions:
Internet & read phone state are required by ads.
Prevent phone from sleeping is requested by AndEngine.
