Windows Mobile Launcher for Android - Estrelle by xrlabs (T.B.A.)


So I've finally set for my first project.
"Estrelle" by xrlabs is a Replica "Windows Mobile" Launcher for Android that I'm currently developing, I'm not too far
into the project yet, but I'll try my best to make Estrelle become real quite soon :)
I've allready made some concept shots and posted them over at xda-developers, but since forums tend to take rather long at getting you replies, I just started the development of my Windows Mobile Launcher right away.

Read more and view pictures after the break.

As you can see from the shots, I'll try to make it customizable, and make it a modern-day version of Windows Mobile ca. 6.3.






Why, you may ask?
Because, altough Windows Mobile never had the reputation of being a comfortable OS for everyday-users, I really digged it's look to some extent. It just has this warm, comfy "I'm at Home" feel for nerds and desktop-fetishists alike, serving your daily dosis of  Personal Computer crack while you're out on your mission to make the world a better place. Or bang prostitutes in shady alleyways.
Ahem, either way you'd want to have your pocket pc by your side. Your only real bet at moderate computing power but still having your Windows Mobile around would be getting an HTC Touch HD, which has an 1Ghz Snapdragon on the pro side, but only singletouch, the lousy choice of Apps (Alltough most of them are better quality then their Android Counterparts), and an Operating System left for dead.

With Estrelle for Android, you'll get a Windows Mobile feel while still having

  • A huge Appstore with 580.000+ Apps (as of Nov. 2011, according to Wikipedia)
  • Multitouch (depending on your phone)
  • A newer, modern feel
  • And an overall better integrity with the other apps opposed to Win Mob.
  • Plus Stuff I can't think of right now :P

So if you're interested, you should definetively stay tuned for more :)

regards,

1. Sleek modern design subscribe button with bell icon animation   Shameless plug: This one has been made by me :) It's a free greenscreened animation with sound effects, up to 4k resolution and a modern design resembling the newest changes in youtube. It's also pretty new, so there won't be many people using it, which can set you apart from your peers. 2. Like and Subscribe Button Overlay with Bell Icon     Made by Tech vlogs on YouTube, this design seems to be pretty popular with around 400k views. It doesn't feature a green background, but you can still key it out pretty easily. It features a like button, subscribe button as well as the bell and sound effects, but the framerate seems to be a bit low. If you can live with that, you got yourself a nice subscribe button overlay! 3. Animated Like & Subscribe Button with Profile Picture     This cool like and subscribe button overlay by  Amlufx , who even has tutorials on his page, features a subscribe button, a bell

This is the complete word list, in the file ./assets/simple_password_dictionary.txt (which seems to be used for thethering), i highlighted the swears / lolwords: password qwerty iloveyou iloveu princess abc123 passw0rd password1 rockyou nicole daniel babygirl

Castlevania-style Axe-Throwing with Gamemaker: Studio

Bild
This is an example of how to easily realize Weapon Throwing in GameMaker: Studio. I have recently started using it again (after I missed getting the license for GameMaker: Studio Normal edition.... by one day......) and decided to share this. Download link  <<  .GMZ Project file included! It will show you how to make a drag-and-drop object that can throw axes that will fly in an Arc just like in Castlevania or Rogue Legacy. I have also included the .GMZ Project file for you to understand how it works. It also features a brief example of how to utilize parenting to easily make multiple different power-ups / items. Have fun! Download link  << .exe file only NOTE: The Luigi Sprite is © by Nintendo and a mere placeholder. It is not from me. I made the blocks and Axes, if that matters. (Just in case someone asks) Download link  |  .GMZ Project file included!
