Finally, Available on the Android Market

Click here for my first game that's published on the Android market:

Click here: Hangman on Android Market

To be honest I'm excited that it's there. Whether it get's any sales or not, is another thing.

But I do hope to get some sales, through to the promise that it will be updated regularly with new topics and words.


currently it has 18 topics and over 600 words. I hope to add a new topic every week.
Also, I'd like to add some new features like

I've finally released my hangman Android game for sale.

Fourth Day (Planning)

Today, I haven't done that much work on the game.
I've used most of the day planning, as I still haven't decided definitely what the 7 games on each planet will be about or if this first version will mostly be just about vocabulary.

The only new part to the game, was setting up a new empty level ready for the next mini-game to be started next week.

Third Day

Well, Yes I did miss one week of development due to personal commitments. But this Friday (my only real free day that I can work on the project) I have completed the first game, the memory game, where the user has to find two similar cards (one with the English word on it and the other with a picture of the object or subject).

I'm fairly pleased, as this game is ready to be used across the different planets, and just needs the graphics to be inserted for each planet, and a score system (which I'll implement across the whole game).

I'm even considering releasing a version of this game on it's own as a resource for teachers of the English language, with as many different vocabulary subjects as possible.

Second Day

So, Friday is definitely my coding day, as it's the day I have free.

Today, I've been working more on the navigation from area to area.

I've included the current progress as screenshots below.

The user can select which planet they want to enter (such as number planet or animal planet) and then from there they can select which game they want. The red buttons will eventually be replaced with a nice picture for each game type (Well all the graphics will be replaced, as to increase productivity, I've just included the quickest graphics I could draw).






I've also started the first game which will be a 'memory' card game, where the user has to find pairs of objects from a set of cards. It isn't complete yet, but at least it's a start. If I can get at least one game completed a week, I think that will be good progress.



I'm looking for someone to do the cartoon graphics for my game, so leave me a message if you can.

Learn English Educational Game Diary

Just a quick update.

In the first 3 hours.
I've starting creating the basic navigation system of the game.

version 0.01
-Created basic program structure.
-I've got a simple menu at the top of the screen for exiting the game, and returning to the main screen.
-I've created the navigation for entering the different themed sections (Currently they are badly drawn planets, such as number planet, colour planet, animal planet, etc..)

New Start. New Game. A Project for 2011

Announcing: Project 2011

Today, I've decided to make an educational video game for young foreign learners of the English language.

The game will have different themed sections (such as a section on colour, a section on animals, numbers, etc..) and within each section there will be various fun games for children to play and learn.

About 2 years ago I did actually start making an identical game called 'Learn & Play' (as seen in the games section on my website) but it never got completed due to my lack of programming knowledge at the time, I've put it available to download on my website, although it is a bit of gamble of which games in which planets work, and which ones don't.

As for the new game, It will use none of the code from the old game (because basically, it was a mess and full of simple mistakes. Even though I'll keep it at the moment while I'm starting-out, I'm not sure if I'll keep the space theme for the final game.

My ultimate aim is to be able to sell this game.

Here are a few small screenshots of the OLD ORIGINAL game:

I'm still alive. Currently considering whether to continue the racing game in 3D with monkey or change to Unity3D (which I've been ...
