OK, I've added Alex's code and then created a startup screen that asks you how many dice you want (1-5).

Re: Roll The Dice
Just a routine update. :) I redesigned the timer so that it starts when the phone thinks it's being shaken, and in the process removed the threaded timer entirely. I also cleaned up some other code a bit, removed superfluous stuff like making sense of the time from accelerometer input and calculating the square root of the sum of the axes squred (don't even know what that's useful for, but it wasn't used so I got rid of the overhead). These mods are made to the latest version, and my script is available in my dropbox here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/453116/ko-dice -- Thanks, The Digital Pioneer ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Swapping to the OM 2008.9 uImage worked around the accelerometer bug for me.

I put the dice in a list and the roll method goes through that list and randomizes the numbers. In the script, I just set it to display 6 dice. I don't know how to go about making an option to change the number and to update the display, but step by step we go!

Re: Roll The Dice
Alex, my first guess is you have 'the acceleromter bug'. Many of the current kernels have a bug that causes the accelerometers to stop sending data when the phone is moving, making them useless for anything but orientation detection. It would be impossible to spot a shake in that situation. You can see if you have it easily enough, just hexdump /dev/input/event3 and see if the data flow stops when you move the phone. -- Thanks, The Digital Pioneer ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Roll The Dice
Thanks Digital Pioneer, I was going to try to make the adjustments you suggested this weekend, but you beat me to the punch on one of them. If you would please add your name and any info you want to the comments in the script I will add this modification to package. I'm still working on the exit bug. I knew about it, but forgot to mention it in my post. I'm kinda new to Threading. I've tried to make a few changes, but none of them worked.

Re: Roll The Dice
OK, I've update the package it can be found at the same link: http://filmsbykris.com/freerunner-debian/ko-user/ko-dice.tar.gz This has the updated script with the changes that The Digital Pioneer made which makes it less likely to roll by mistake. So, now give a real good shake to roll the dice (about 3 or 4 shakes) There is still a glitch in the exit button. Basically you have to press the exit button and shake it to exit or press exit while the dice are rolling. Yorick Moko suggested that we add a setting that allows the user to choose the amount of dices, and the time it takes before the dices settle. As far as the time it takes the dice to settle, that should be easy to do and I'll get it done hopefully this weekend (that is an easy variable change and adding buttons to change at variable). But, changing the number off dice might take a little longer. If I thought of that originally I would have used an array for the dice, but I didn't so it might take a lot to make that change. But, I'll see what I can do or if anyone else wants to take that challenge on, I'm not going to stop you :) Thanks for the response from you all. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Roll The Dice
OK, to any who are interested, I have made some modifications to the python script to make it not shake as easily (I was having a lot of accidental shakes). Now it has to be shaken twice within 3 seconds to actually roll the dice.

Re: Roll The Dice
Kind of cool, I fetched it to check out the code. I tried it with om2008.12, after installing pygtk etc. I ran the program, but shaking the phone gets no response. Only touching the screen starts it off vibrating. I also tried the modified ko-dice with same result. I think the shakes are not getting registered for me somehow. --Alex On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 7:59 PM, The Digital Pioneer digitalpion...@gmail.com wrote: OK, to any who are interested, I have made some modifications to the python script to make it not shake as easily (I was having a lot of accidental shakes).
