A mobile game written in TypeScript using Cordova framework for Android and Windows Phone.

flyfrenzy's Issues

Provide some indication of where user clicked

-should provide some visual indication of where a user is clicking
-do some animated css yadda yadda yadda
-could also be useful for helping to debug stuff!

Mini Flies

-add some mini flies
-maybe make them change directions more rapidly?
-color? pink?

Perf issues in Windows Phone

-windows phone seems to lag quite a bit at early levels where android doesn't

Blurred background CSS not working in WP8

-added blur effect to CSS and it works in Android but not WP8

White boarder appearing on home screen in Android

add facebook login ability

-let users be anonymous or login with facebook

Modify build script to turn disable logging in release builds

-turn calls to logger into no-ops

Custom Fonts aren't Working

-included a custom a font & referenced in CSS
-works when I run app in a browser but not in WP8 emulator or on physical android device

Switch from click events to touchstart

-touch start is more responsive (click requires a 300-400ish ms delay to see if its a click or a double click event while touch start is basically instant)
-downside is that now we have to do collision detection of user click vs flies

Poison Flies

• add flies that you aren't supposed to smash

Add a Logger class

-pipe all debug output through logging class so we can do things like...write to the screen (instead of having to use alerts) and toggle it on/off depending on whether or not we are a release build or a debug build

In WP8 clicking can sometimes highlight images

-we don't want any HTML elements to be select-able!
-this seems to be fixed in android but still a problem as of version 10 in wp8

Plugins folder shouldn't be tracked

-remove plugins from source control
-add "init" task to jake file that, adds the platforms you request, then adds all of the plugins you need

On Android flies fly into area covered by bottom ad

• make them not do that!
• investigate if this happens on windows phone (it doesn't happen in wp emulator)

Add a sign in/out button to home screen

Exploding flies

• create flies that explode

cache scores locally until they make it to server

• need to keep track of local high scores
• need to implement screen to show them

Add an "about/how to play" screen

• right now there is a button for this but it does nothing. Should put something there.

refactor the css for flies + splat

this is done really poorly in css right now with lots of duplication. fix it!

User Skips a bunch of levels when "Level Complete Dialog" is present

i * think * what is happening is sometimes the code to show the level complete dialog is firing multiple times and therefore several show up. This causes an issue b/c the code to increment the current level gets called many times (i've seen up to 4 level jumps at a time)

App gets in weird state if you resume app while dialog is open

how to repro
-kill all flies on a level
-send the app to background
-resume app
-dialog will still be up but game will resume in the background

Give player a set amount of lives before game over

put version number on home screen

Add strong flies that take multiple hits to kill

• and then make all other flies have 1 life

add a back button

Report and Save Global High Scores

• if a score achieved is a global high score send it to the server
• need to write the server component
• need to create server storage
• make it difficult for people to send bogus scores (create unique hash server side and expect this in client response?)
• need a screen to display the information
