    it now has a timer, different difficulty settings(which will probably need to be adjusted) and a scoring system of sorts, the only major problem im having is with the games thread it seems android deals with threads on whims and how it feels about the thread, i can jump out of the game to the menu or it jumps out automatically at the end of a round but whether the thread is actually destroyed when that happens seems to entirely be up to chance :mad: anyone know anything about this or is this the best that gets?

    This game is oddly satisfying. :D

    Maybe in version two you can include the whole Dail or allow us to pick our favourite :D

    Or how about an option to upload your own picture. You could have that as a paid version. Bet you'd sell loads.

    Not sure what you mean by the thread getting destroyed? Are you spawning and running your own thread for the game?

    at the moment its broken into 2 apps, one is the menu the other is a blank screen with the thread declared in it that takes in a value representing the difficulty, if a player backs out or the timer gets to zero the app is killed along with its thread and the player is returned to the menu where they can back out or start another game, its at this point it tends to hang, i did get advice from someone else that told me it seems to be trying at this point to start an already existing thread , but there is no way to get rid of that thread every method is depreciated.

    hmmm not sure it should be there, have you spelt it correctly? the app market is not the most forgiving off slightest errors.


    Hmm does anyone find the error of having it freeze and or crash at the end of some games too problematic?

    what version of android are using?, i compiled it to 2.2 which was probably a bad idea in hindsight as the android market might simply make it inaccessible to you

    hmm now i have no idea, there's no reason it shouldn't be coming up in the market that i can think of

    here ill just throw the installer up on rapidshare if you just drag it onto the phone then and install it that way

    http://rapidshare.com/files/442922959/Cowenator.apk


    thats probably not the final one as admob decided for some reason to update all their code meaning ill have to add the new package
