I Heard You Like Android… so I wrote an app on my Android for you to play on your Android.

In the spirit of recursion…

So, what is it acually like to code and create content on an ASUS Transformer tablet?

  • You miss the screen real estate of a dedicated workstation.
  • You LOVE the fact that you compile the application and it’s right there, without waiting to push to the device
  • You LOVE that it cuts the emulator out of the question entirely.
  • You really wish there were a better way to keep tabs on logcat than to exit your app.
  • You can’t just watch logcat it scroll by as you play with the application.
  • Logcat now has a much more limited number of lines of text that it hangs onto.
  • No photoshop obviously, but all I need is a paint equivalent, and Pixelesque is a relatively nice one (but with serious limitations)
  • Plasma Sound is FUN to use, and FUN to make sound effects with.
  • SPC is FUN to use and FUN to make loops with.  Seriously I love my soundtrack on this game.

 

And now before I grab dinner, here’s some screenshots.
