    i can only see who is in dublin and my surrounding area, no-where else :(

    Press down on other areas and it'll load the users around that area :)

    If you want to see players a bit further away, all you have to do is hold your finger down on the map for 2 seconds. Then it will load the 50 nearest players from where you pressed.

    Great idea bro, you should really put it on the Zombie survival section here on boards and send the lads on the zombie walk facebook page an add, this could get huge. i find it closing on my Desire on stock froyo, but a simple restart fixes it, seems to be every second time i run it, how do i send on the crash report??

    Having some issues with memory on the Desire, so I reckon that is probably what it is, working to addresss this. Does it happen when the finger animation is about to play, after scanning?
    Will definitely take a look at the zombie forums, thanks!

    perhaps when you are in range of a hospital you have an option to heal.

    a simple score board then to determine how many zombies you have created or healed.

    or different classes.

    doctor or soldier . soldier can knock out a zombie for an hour. and a doctor can heal them .

    Yeah its pretty much just as i scan, it starts it then shuts down, then i open the app again and it works perfect. 95% of the time its every second time i run the App, strange eh??? Never had issues with any other app closing on my phone :(

    Cool ideas would really add some more layers to the game

    Yes your last known location will be displayed on the map to other users. You never know when a zombie might sneak up, you need to stay on your guard :D

    has great potential will be keeping my eye on this.

    New build just gone up. Should hopefully fix the force close issues of Desire and Nexus S. Let me know of any issues, I'll do my best to get them sorted as quick as possible.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    just updated . def running smoother.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,278 ✭✭✭jArgHA


    just a minor quibble - the app icon is a bit hard to see what it represents. maybe an app icon like your boards avatar would look good

    Will see what I can come up with for this, now that you say it I think I agree.

    FYI: I downloaded /installed the latest release last night, and am still seeing the odd crash when running the app. It either happens on home screen during thumb scan, or soon after launching the map view.

    Device: HTC Desire
    Android: 2.2

    PS: Some poor bugger up in Galway city is the only survivor in that are and completely surrounded by a lot of zombies :)

    Might I suggest some version of the zombie icon from the map?

    Something like:

    ZombieHand.gif

    ...but smaller, obviously.

    Does that happen if you open straight into the map view? As in you are on the map, then you hit the home button, then open the map again?

    Still trying to clean up force close (out of memory!) issues, it turns out that the android map view doesn't play nice with your memory! Hope to have a new build tonight or tomorrow

    Alright lads,

    I'm working with the OP on this app on graphics and UI and what not, and we took note of the comments about the app launcher icon and came up with this. Comments very much welcome...

    Personally I would like the hand to be more promenant but then you lose the background a bit. I am assuming that the backgound is meant to be like a map?

    Cheers for the comments. The launcher needs a light coloured background so it doesnt get lost in the black background. After a quick revision I put this out, the marker/hand is more prominent, keeping the map background.

    Here she is in all her high res glory :)

    I must remember to hide when I get to Oranmore on Friday, could be a straggler from Galway City somewhere.

    Quite safe in Limerick so far!

    Good work OP!

    Use a plain background with the icon to the front, trying to make the background look like a map is far too messy, less is more.
