Thanks a lot for the replies. Though many on this thread expect more (thousands of) submissions this year, only eight of you have given feedback. Would love to hear from many more out there before formally publishing anything. Of the 20 thousand developers on this group, less than 20 have replied but am sure there are hundreds if not thousands who submitted for ADC2.
*Here is the interpretation so far:* Many game apps have shown up till now. Many developers are enthusiastically happy about ADC2 but seemingly the time provided was insufficient. Many would like to provide fixes to last minute bugs. *Summary of feedback to google:* Google could possibly allow one chance to update a sub-set of 'potential' apps though buggy after a few weeks; may be individually over mail or the submission site. Looks like, very few, those who almost had their apps ready around May 27th (the date of announcement) might have benifitted. Few might have managed to reuse code from their existing apps. But for new ideas, time provided is a matter of dismay. *Information shared by developers:* Game arcade/action: Galactic Guardian: Zap GPS http://sites.google.com/site/mysticlakesoftware/ Description: "Use sensors to target and shoot satellites" By: Rud Feedback: Happy with the ADC2 rules. But needs more time to implement better ideas. Game arcade/action: Head To Head Racing http://headtoheadracing.appspot.com/ "Racing game with augmented reality features" Craig Mitchel (& Liam Welford) Feedback: Smooth performance in spite of background processes was the challenge. Using ADC2 as exposure platform. Lifestyle?: TennisNow www.activitywatchservice.com Description: "Share tennis court booking and other time-bound information" By: Vishal and team Feedback: Android learning curve is steep. Only 30% features pushed in due to time limit. Expects more submissions than for ADC1. Category?: AugmentThis By: JP Feedback: Android is quite powerful but learning curve is steep. Social: ClapCard http://www.clapcard.com Description: "creating and sharing animated card" By: sleith Feedback: Fun working on Android for ADC2. Game: UrbanGolf Description: "Play golf in real world with phone as the golf club" By: Anton Pirker and friends. Feedback: Not enough time for a fully featured app. Would like to submit fixes. Game arcade/action: SpecTrek Description: "Augmented reality ghost hunting fitness game" By: Pieter Feedback: Faced specific android hardware bugs (on Samsung Galaxy) and had tough time testing. Productivity/Tools?: Tasker Description: "Link any (action set) to contexts. Eg. Send SMS every x O'clock..." By: Lee Feedback: Happy about ADC2 but dissatisfied with time provided. Need lot more for a tested non-trivial app. Media: MyPOD http://www.my-pod.org Description: "Music internet/podcast manager and player" By: SiliconEagle/rm Feedback: Steep learning curve. Insufficient time. Expects more apps on ADC2. Need to update. Media: MicroJam Description: "simple loop based muic sequencer/remixer" By: Simon Feedback: Reduced feature set (working spare time on it since Jan '09). Happy on the whole though debugging was painful. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
