Crazy Gems: Download for Android

Crazy Gems 2 for AndroidThe Android (AIR) version of Crazy Gems 2 is available for download. It uses a self-signed certificate as of now and you may download it for free from Crazy Gems 2 project page. Do not forget to install AIR for Android from Adobe Labs before you install the game. A specific requirement would be to have Froyo (Android 2.2) on your phone before you install the runtime. If you need the runtime on your phone, do sign up for the AIR for Android Prerelease Program. Hope you enjoy playing the game on your phone.

New Feature: – This version uses Accelerometer of your device for the game play.

Multitouch Photo Booth Application for AIR 2

Am very excited to present you with a small multitouch AIR 2 application (Photobooth) I built for the Adobe Flash Platform Summit 2010 that was held in Bangalore this week (25th and 26th Aug).  Please find below the video demo of the application.

This application was built in AS3 on Flash Professional CS5 + Flash Builder 4 for AIR 2 desktop. I am also planning to port this to AIR for Android version. Comments and suggestions are welcome. :)

I would also like to thank Madhu from NewTint to have helped me with the artwork assets (digitally painted) that are used in this application.

Multiscreen Game/App – Part 1: Setting Up

Introduction

With my recent creation of multiscreen game (Crazy Gems) in mind, I am presenting a basic template I created in Flash Professional for use in the games or apps you might be trying to create. The method that I am following is obviously not the only method you need to follow. This comes with my experience and hard learning over time.

I will be using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 for the UI creation and later, Adobe Flash Builder for writing code and debugging. This article will first guide you to setup the provided Template files to give a fair idea of the implementation.

Prerequisites

  • You need to have Adobe Flash Professional CS5 installed.
  • You need to have Adobe Flash Builder 4 installed.
  • You need the application files (.fla and .as) that I have shared below.
