digitalmars.D.announce - Mobile App STACK4 with a D backend

Hello fellow Dlers ;)

about a week ago I released the multiplayer version of my android 
app STACK4 
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Extrawurst.FIR).


frontend but, after quite a journey, the backend was developed 
using D and the awesome vibe.d framework.

While I am preparing a pretty detailed article about why it was a 
journey to the point of using D and how using D worked out in the 
end I would ask everyone who has access to an android device to 
test the app and give me feedback about every kind of problem you 
may encounter!
Cause apparently the ordanary android customer just downloads and 
throws a 1-star rating at you without telling you why the hell 
they are disappointed with it :(

Cheers,

I've tested the Blackberry version. The only thing that stood out a bit
was that the UI could be a bit larger.

Otherwise, nice and fun little game! Congrats!

Thanks for testing! Unfortunately the Blackberry 10 Version with 
multiplayer is not yet approved but if you would like to test the 
version (for what i would be very thankfull) you can drop me an 
email to stephan at extrawurst dot org and send me your 
blackberry id mail address, this way i can add you to the sandbox 
tester and you can download the version from the appworld store 
right now ;)
That would be great!

Haven't tried the multiplayer, but it seems a really cool game. 
It took an absolute age to load, however.

What exactly took ages ? The download, the loading on startup

the unity logo stayed around with a little spinning tracer in the 
corner for a long time on first load. It seems to not be as slow 
on subsequent loads.

Sounds like it was just Mono JITing the game's assemblies. (Although on 
some platforms, Unity does AOT compilation - I forget whether Android is 
one of those.)

Or maybe it was Dalvik JITing Mono itself, but I would think most of 
mono was written in native C/C++ code, so I dunno. Do you know if you've 
run any Unity-built program on the device before?

For me, the part you describe only took about a couple seconds the first 
time (Galaxy S3). What device were you using? I'm curious because I'm

I don't think i've ever run anything using unity before. Also, 
I'm on an Intel AZ-210 so it's x86-android, which probably means 
quite a few untested corner-cases for unity and other libs.

Wow, one of the mythical Android/x86 users running it on their 
actual phone!  Any reason why you chose to buy x86 and how is it 
running for you?  Intel seems to have finally turned the corner 
with Bay Trail, if the benchmarks are to be believed, and they 
just showed off some design wins at CES.  It'll be interesting to 
see if they can ever really come back on mobile.

Hi Martin, this is rather strange I am trying to find the issue 
here, but I cannot seem to find it. What Android Version do you 
have ? Can you send me an email with a screenshot so that I see 
the purple thingy you mentioned ;)
Please use this mail: dilly DOT stephan AT gmail DOT com

You should be getting an android notification once some else 
wants to play (if there is no bug ^^). Right now both players 
need to be online simultaniously. Next release is going to change 
that.

 Also red your first 2 articles, hope you dive deeper in to the 
 more 'technical stuff' in the once to follow.

 Really great you're doing this!


 yeah the next article shows some actual code, if that is what 
 you are asking for. but still i need to leave some stuff for my 
 dconf submission ^^


Here we go, finally - after submitting the dconf proposal - I 
finished the next part of the article series!

At the start I thought about 4 parts including the other 
libraries. But that would get out of hand. The 4th is the last 
under that headline and the stuff about the auxilary libs will be 
separate articles later.

Reddit anyone ?

Please reddit around tomorrow morning 9AM PST. Redditing now will bury 
the article.
