Modern Alchemists ShiVa Libs is a bundle of custom written ShiVa addons. All projects rely on ShiVa 1.9 and UAT 1.2 beta 7. This doesn’t mean it won’t work with older versions, but the docs might refer to code hockups which weren’t present back then.

All code is under LGPL License. If you like our work, tell us! If not, tell us even more! Got a code fix? Tell us… you get the idea

It features:

• MASS: In-App-Purchase for iOS and Android
• MAOF: OpenFeint for iOS and Android
• Mortar (TBA): automating the world!

You can get all the files/code either from the download section or via SVN at  google code: http://code.google.com/p/ma-sh/

Here’s a quote of the description:

Thanks!

Like shown above, type in ‘telnet‘ and press enter. The result will look like:

Here type in ‘o localhost 5554‘ as shown here:

This will establish a connection to the emulator.
You can see the port number to be entered in the title bar of the emulator window.
If this succeeds, it will open the Android Console:

Here you can use all kinds of commands.
To simulate a call, type ‘gsm call 066712345‘:

The result is an incoming call at the emulator:

To cancel the call, type ‘gsm cancel 066712345‘.
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#telephony for more information about gsm operations.

Use ‘exit‘ to exit the Android Console and ‘quit‘ to quit telnet.
Hope that helps!

Level Master 2000: screenshot0001

Today I prepared the initial launch of Level Master 2000 at google code: http://code.google.com/p/levelmaster2000/. There are still a lot of features missing, as the project page states:

August 24th, 2010. Commited as is. Consider this more a preview/announcement rather than a real release. A major restructuring will occur within the next months, but anyway – here it is!

Nevertheless, it’s a good feeling finally having it on air and getting some feedback!

[2010-08-16 19:56:41 - xxx] ------------------------------
[2010-08-16 19:56:41 - xxx] Android Launch!
[2010-08-16 19:56:41 - xxx] adb is running normally.
[2010-08-16 19:56:41 - xxx] Could not find xxx.apk!
[2010-08-16 19:58:04 - xxx] ------------------------------

after importing a project (maybe doing some reconfiguring), just remove the project (only the project from Eclipse, not from disk!).
Then simply re-import it and it should work again!

Update March 14th: according to Sean, you can get this error also by having the emulator already running and changing the project SDK. The solution then is to close the emulator and run it again from eclipse. Thanks for the info!

We decided to create a shriveling apple material, which you can modify the age of. We used image based lighting for some nice diffuse and specular light, for the apple at a young age, reflections, and when getting older, some bump maps plus occlusion mapping. I ZBrushed the apple to get some nice maps, and so that I don’t have to paint them by hand.  We also wanted to add some vertex displacement per vertex textures, but we somehow didn’t get them to work…

Anyway, here’s the result:

Shriveling apple shader - part 1

Shriveling apple shader - part 2

Shriveling apple shader - part 3
