Ruger - SR9 Coming Soon to the G1

With the success of the SchottGunn and the AK-47 applications I developed, I decided it was time to make a hand gun this time around. I'm a fan of the Ruger-SR9 so I figured that was going to be the one I would use for this next app. I started working on it a couple of days ago, and it is getting really close to being released. In the mean time I thought I would show a few images of the application thus far as well as a downloadable preview of the app before it hits the market. A brief description on how to use it follows the screenshots below. BTW, those of you who have used the AK-47 app, may recognize the sounds used in this one. Please keep in mind that these are only placeholders at this moment in time. I am working on getting sounds that suit this particular firearm better.

Here are a few screenshots of the Ruger-SR9 application.

Installing the application from here and how to operate.

First thing you need to do is make sure you have your phone set up to install applications from sources other than the Market. To do this go to your phone's settings, and under Applications make sure that Unknown sources is checked.

Once you have that set up, then all you need to do is download SR9.apk from your phone's browser, click on SR9.apk shown in your download list and choose Install. Once the installation is complete, you should see a screen that says Application Installed with a green checkmark to the left of the text. If not, then something went horribly wrong.

How to Use

The application starts out with a loaded clip already in the gun, you just need to cock it first. To do that, touch the slide of the gun, and pull it back till you hear a "click" then release your finger from the screen and the slide will snap back. The gun is now loaded, armed and ready to fire.

To fire the gun, you simply touch the trigger. Go figure! You have 18 rounds to unload, after that you need to remove the spent clip and insert a loaded one. To do that, touch the handle of the gun where the clip is located. The clip will drop out and a new one will be inserted in automatically. Now you just need to re-cock the gun and unload again.

I hope you enjoy the preview of the Ruger-SR9 so far. Once it hits the market, I expect it to be much more polished than it is right now. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to email me clarkdawg at gmail dot com.

Scheff's Blend Apps on the G1 Phone

The Schwartz Unsheathed

Now it wouldn't be fair for the iPhone kiddies to be the only ones to have a light saber app, so I decided to give G1 users the opportunity to have some fun as well. Simply touch the saber handle (hilt) to engage and disengage the blade. Touch the blade, when out, to change the color. When the balde is out, just swing your phone around to get those awesome saber swooshing sounds. Swing it hard and abrubptly stop to get a saber clash sound. You can find this app in the Market or download The Schwartz Unsheathed here.

May the Schwartz be with you!

Where to begin? It all started back in 19..., oh wait, lets just skip that part.

My name is Clark Scheff and I am a geek. I've been tinkering around with computers for the past 20 years or so and I am currently employed as an Embedded Design Engineer, a job which lets me create an embedded system and write the firmware for it as well. On my spare time, I tinker around with robotics as well as write software for various projects. I graduated from California State University San Marcos with a bachelors degree in Computer Science with a minor in Physics. I originally wanted to get into video game programming for some time, but once I got my hands on a microcontroller and started to build my first robot, I realized that this was the area I wanted to focus on, and here I am!

On my free time I am currently working on a game for the Android OS on the G1 Phone. In order to get aquainted with the way that Android applications are constructed, I've decided to start with a fairly simple game, similar to the classic game called Breakout. Stay tuned to this blog for updates regarding this project, which will be released as open source very shortly for those that wish to contribute and make it an even better game.

I could go on, and on, and on, but there is work to be done. Till next time.
