changing a hosting company

michal — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 21:53:37 +0000

I’m changing the hosting company, plus all content has been moved from BlogEngine.Net to WordPress so the site may be unstable for a few days. The number of plug-ins and themes for WordPress is really amazing!

It wasn’t an easy decision as I’m devoted .NET/Windows developer so changing to PHP/Linux is a big thing for me, but hey, I learned a lot of new things recently and this is cool!

Also to my surprise my first android app, a small fix actually, has been downloaded more then a 500 2000 times so far, this is quite nice. Since the initial release I’ve changed UI and fixed crashing widget.

samsung i5700 with android 2.1 fix for cpu clock

michal — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 17:45:00 +0000

After I updated my Samsung Spica i5700 to Android 2.1 I’ve noticed that when you turn the camera on, the CPU is set at 800MHz and it won’t slow down till the reboot, so I’ve made a simple app that will change a CPU governor from ‘performance’ back to ‘conservative’ mode after phone screen is locked. Additionally, you can use a widget that when clicked will change the CPU mode immediately.

You may download it from here: market://details?id=com.privateasteroid.coolspica

Update:

Added Korean language – Translated by Ubinuri

strange little town

michal — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:23:00 +0000

This is my first attempt to BlogEngine.NET theme. Strange little town by magically (seems like this site is down), when I saw this theme on WordPress Theme Directory I immediately fall in love with it, you can view privateasteroid.com with this theme here or download archive file.

mashooo.com

mashooo.com is a service that offers xap files hosting and revenue share from the advertisement they show. That's great for a Silverlight game developers community to have its own kongregate.com like page that allows Silverlight apps, with more pages like that there is a big chance that more great SL based games will pop up soon.

I've added two of my games there: flood and drop it well.

drop it well

michal — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:07:00 +0000

drop it well is my new game that uses farseer physic engine. Your goal is to stack elements on top of each other and keep them stable for a set amount of time so that none fell outside the screen. You have sixteen simple levels to play with; each level offers you pre-placed elements and a list with upcoming elements and its sizes. Place them all, cross your finger and wait eight seconds hopping that the gravity is on your side.
Have a fun with it.

flood game

michal — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 13:11:00 +0000

Flood is a simple Silverlight game I did at one evening. The object of the game is to flood the whole board with one color. You start with the top left corner and progress by selecting one of the colored buttons, once you change area color the adjacent square with the same color also changes.

ceres 0.5

michal — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 04:48:00 +0000

I’ve updated a bit game logic: you can join bodies together by drawing one on each other and you can make a hinge by pressing letter A and drawing another object over it.

There are also some new functionalities in the editor now: grid, switch off object recognition, draw static and dynamic objects, add many stop elements (you have to hit all of them during a game) and test created game (saving is still disabled).

There is some nasty bug with joining two bodies and I’m currently working on solving it.

Update 1: Solved with the help of Farseer forum (genbox, Lemunde and mattbettcher)

Update 2: Compiled with Silverlight 2 RC1 SDK

IE8 Compatibility tag

michal — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:01:00 +0000

It seems that this theme is not compatible with IE8 Beta 2, so I’ve put some quick patch, the tag for backward compatibility: , that I found on MSDN and more tags explained here.
