Most of my Android work belongs to a client, and with the frequency of UI redesigns my parts are no longer visible. The full list of apps is in my CV.
A set of games to highlight the usability of the Galaxy Note's S Pen input stylus. Pixel-perfect designs, working in close coordination with the artists and designers.
Drop The Beat where the user hand-draws symbols on the screen to make characters dance and sing.
Flag Challenge, a painting-by-numbers game and general knowledge quiz of the world's flags. With an early S Pen SDK, it took some puzzling to produce non-rectangular clipped drawing regions from a widget that's meant to be for responsive smooth handwriting.
Star Gazer, a connect-the-dots game with levels based on the constellations.
Most of my Android work belongs to a client, and the ones that I can use as a portfolio are linked above.
The apps below are not yet on the market, and need to be sideloaded. I don't wish to simply add another Tetris clone to the market, and it takes a long time to design the fun into a new game (even assuming the game concept works).
Also, I'm a programmer, not an artist. If I was trying to sell these as finished apps, I'd commission someone else to provide the art.
Tilt your phone to swing the pendulum and smash coloured blocks.
To get the pendulum high enough to break the highest blocks, you'll have to make the pendulum swing across the middle.
Permissions required: none (it's just graphics and the built-in motion sensor).
Find out roughly what time it is without taking your phone out of your pocket. Tap three times on the outside of your pocket, and the phone vibrates to tell you what time it is.
Keeps your handset dry in rain, preserves night vision, probably more discreet than blatently getting your phone out.
Permissions required: vibration.
Start the application, tick "run in background", press BACK.
The trigger is 3 taps on the back or front (not the sides), within five seconds of each other.
To stop the background service again, open the application and untick the tickbox.
It detects the motion of the phone, so won't work if the phone doesn't move (for example if it's on a hard table).
| Minutes past the hour | Vibrations |
|---|---|
| 0-14 | 4 |
| 15-29 | 1 |
| 30-44 | 2 |
| 45-59 | 3 |
Tap detection is inaccurate at the moment.
False positives when tapping on the screen in other apps while the background service is running.
