@Swissolo : The iterations (a present for you):
unsigned max_iterations = round(64-(32*log10(200*zoom)));
Anyway with a pre-fixed int 512 iteration "Render finished in 0.884049"
Well i didn't stopped myself reading 1 article. I spend about 3 hours a day reading of marketing and news and comparison between Android and iOS, to be always ready to change.
I like to be informed on everything, and i like to know also the counterpart.
I understand what you read, but, if you search more, hmmmm, imagine to search 100 articles, you will found 75/100 of them saying what i written.
Apple bet on the app quality, this is why Apple earn more from apps.
Android accept also apps like the "fart button".... hmmmm so i think the 900000 Android apps are in reality 200000.
In my opinion, if iWatch, iPhone C, Joypad controller, iTV (already on the market) and the other products that will come out will have a good marketing, Android will lose much.
When you buy an Apple device (i know it cost too much) you get what you want.
When you get an Android phone, you get the confusion, and usually it don't do what you want. You need to download apps.
I can't resist seeing the dashboard in this way :
Icon_and_widget_x = agk::Random(0,1024);
Icon_and_widget_y = agk::Random(0,768);
I go crazy after 5 min on Android
.
Another opinion of mine, is on the console and gaming.
If you wanna play a 3D game, you get your console and carry it with you on holiday.
You will never play a 3D game on a phone, damn, there is no space for buttons!!!!
So you will play your 2D game on the phone, when you will be in the bathroom, in the bus station, in the bus, waiting for something, etc. Only few minutes....
So console and phone are very different things.
I think the Android market will rapidly go down, too fragmentation, too different devices, only 5% use the new Android, piracy, cracks, you can copy apps, users don't do updates.....
It can grow up as open source, but can't earn.
Well, in the end, i wish all of you sell apps, i want the indie developer job grow up, as i want our category become the future.
My apps are in the showcase, and you can find them all on Apple Store using my name.
My apps are not the maximum, as the most of time i do them alone, but hiring new staff i can start big projects now, and what i done till now will help us to spend time to complete bigger projects without taking care of earnings. They will come automatically for the time we just need.
We started for example :
- Last Ninja Mmorpg (new)
- GG Superstar Soccer 2014 (the one i started last year)
- There can only be one (The Barbarian C64 remake)
- Face Place (a social to find girls and boys)
And i included AppGameKit already in them.... Go AppGameKit go!!!!!
Long life to Steve!
