902 people downloaded “ChickenWarrior” : my first Mobile game
Today, I have visited the “ChickenWarrior” game page in Betavine: http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/application/ChickenWarrior/index.html
I was amazed to see the number of downloads for that silly simple game: 902
Now, I really feel sad for what I have done. I just created a small game like program for my K300i mobile out of curiosity. All it did was just added some chunk of code to move the half baked images across the phone and a bit of collission detection code as part of game’s logic. I didn’t even added the code to show the score at the end. All I wanted was just to prove that we can do some game programming in GNU/Linux for our dearest Mobile Phones. After that, I have never looked into that code again and never even thought of improving the game (images and code quality).
The source code of the game is available in Google Code. http://code.google.com/p/chickenwarrior/
Today I feel guilty for publishing a half baked game. But on the other hand, I did what I felt right that time.. ” Release early Release often!!” : One of the principles of Free Software Movement. I have done the first part right: I released it early.. after that I haven’t followed it… I haven’t released even it’s next version.
I can’t blame anybody else but myself. I dreamt of a number of applications on Mobile Phones. I will be coding it in the near future .
