    Can I ask what happens to you when the application is not running.
    Can you be infected while you're not playing?

    Yes you can the map will always display your last known location, I am currently working on a notification service that will warning you when zombies are nearby, but for now you have to keep "looking over your shoulder" :D.

    I've had a few crash reports now without my package name in there eg:

    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
    at android.graphics.Bitmap.nativeCreate(Native Method)
    at android.graphics.Bitmap.createBitmap(Bitmap.java:574)
    at com.google.android.maps.ZoomHelper.createSnapshot(ZoomHelper.java:444)
    at com.google.android.maps.ZoomHelper.beginZoom(ZoomHelper.java:194)
    at com.google.android.maps.MapView$2.onScaleBegin(MapView.java:371)
    at android.view.ScaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ScaleGestureDetector.java:216)

    Looks like a memory leak somewhere in the app, pretty hard to track down :(

    There are problems with the map view, I've taken some steps to try mitigate some of the problems, just need to do some testing. I've been scouring my code for potential leaks, and haven't spotted anything so far.

    Will send on the reports.

    Cool idea, Galway is getting overrun...get out now!! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,991 ✭✭✭budgemook


    Was at lunch there today on Pearse street. I checked my status and was clean but had 2 zombies near by. I got my friend to install it then so he did and when he opened it he said there was an infected person right beside him. Me of course so I opened it up and infected him right away.

    Some craic.

    Its getting a bit dodgy here in waterford, I seem to be surrounded


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,195 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Limerick is far too quiet! Nearest person to me at the moment is marcbrophy and he's clean.

    Galway City is well infected though.

    Cool thanks, I have an idea. How about the uninfected can kill Zombies but make it harder than infection. Maybe 50 metres or something. Then the Zombie respawns as uninfected adter 3 days or something.

    Zombies are always getting killed in the movies.
    Thats a good idea. Clean people just have to wait around to be infected! Not much else to do.

    Iv been surviving well though considering im in Galway which is pretty over run

    I will be doing stuff like this for the full version, which is a work in progress at the moment. There will be a level up system, and people will be able to fight back, and hopefully some achievements :D
    Thanks for the feedback

    Great idea for an app! Works perfectly on my SE X10 mini pro.

    Have you started a thread in Zombie Survival? I'd say they'd be mad into it.

    yep , did it in stealth zombie mode too.

    turned off location on my phone when i was in town. and only turned it back on when i had infected him!!!

    ah i can see how this game will get good. especially if you go hunting people.

    i think some people need to be of higher value to make them targets. there needs to be an incentive to both survive or be a zombie. perhaps you gain survival points for the length of time you survive for. and it costs you points to hide and heal etc etc.

    you get points for revivving zombies. the oppisite when you are a zombie. you get death points..... etc etc/.

    Leader board def needed and maybe a notification of who infected you. Nice if you don't check for a while and the person has moved on.

    He can :D you need to hide using the menu on the map view, if the zombie is in range, but this won't hide you forever
