Project Name: Improve Gem Speed Date: 05/11/11 Who will be primarily involved? Brian Herbert Final Product Android app Project Goal Make Gem Speed a better game Detailed Description v 1.4 Don't make user start from level 1 when he loses How will this be presented? Android market Upkeep after completion Bug fixes Timeline / Milestones 5/25/11 version 1.4 Additional Info / Needs ---5/11/11--- One improvement I wish I could make is changing the name. It turns out to be very hard to remember. For now, the most glaring frustration is in the 1-player mode: When a player loses, he has to start over at level 1, rather than being able to retry a level. Also, the difference in AI speeds between levels is constant, making higher levels seem to get harder faster. I'm going to try a logarithmic function, or something that at least makes the speed between high levels less drastic. Just made the following changes: -When you lose you can now retry the current level -Level difficulty increases more gradually -Larger headstart bonuses -New background Version 1.4 is in the Android Market and I'll add them to the Amazon one soon, though that seems like a lost cause with just 1 purchase and a mediocre developer interface. |
