Please vote in the poll! READ THE ENTIRE THREAD I will first off state that this is not a Blockland game. It is an App, as in, an application. You will not be able to play Blockland on this or anything similar to Blockland on this. Also, this is not for the iPhone, iPad, or the iPod Touch. I am not making this for those devices. Now, I had just recently got an Android phone, and I'm currently getting into Android development a bit, and I was thinking about an app for the Android phone that would allow you to do several things related to Blockland. Here's a few ideas I have for features: * A home page, not sure exactly what to put here. News? A summary of what Blockland is? Navigation page? * A news page, featuring news from the main Blockland website, and a few community websites. * A forums page, allowing quick access the forums possibly? Maybe it parses the forums better than the default browser? * Now, here's where it starts to get interesting: A server browser with the ability to view all current servers, and the info of the server, players and such. This will feature a favorites list and the ability to rate and like servers for anyone else to see. * Here's another interesting idea: The ability to manage your own server from you Android anywhere. View the current players, kick and ban players, add a password, chat with players, look at chat, etc. This would be the hardest part to make. * I am fully open to suggestions! * Brick maker? .cs editor? Let me also say, that I have nowhere near the experience and knowledge to make an app like this. If I were to decide to make this app, it will not be coming out anytime soon. It will take time for me to learn android development and such to allow me to make this app. If you are interested in developing this app with me, let me say that you do not need an android device to use this. The free SDK for android comes with a fully working Android emulator to test the app. Although, it is best to test it on a phone before releasing it to the public. So if you are interested, PM me or post here. Lastly, post your thoughts and suggestions in the thread! If I get a large amount of people wanting this, I will start working on it immediately. Otherwise, I won't work on it that much. |

I would like to give it a try with my HTC EVO 3D android phone. And it sounds like a good idea. |

This would be a build in feature to the app if I decided to make it. But I don't quite fully understand what you mean just by posting that without explaining what you meant. Are you showing that one of my ideas has already been created? Or what? --- Quote from: YorkTown95 on July 16, 2011, 01:58:09 PM ---I would like to give it a try with my HTC EVO 3D android phone.

Well considering that you could do it all with your phone browser already, I don't think there is much point |
