saleemshafi/pushpop

Touchpad puzzle game based on the idea of pushing and popping stacks

pushpop's Issues

try making UI more responsive using percentages more heavily

resize the game board to support an ad banner (iOS)

overlap puzzle stacks

test game with jquery 1.2 pre release

this is supposed to provides some enhancements to the internal processing, as well as some new features like popups.. need to check to see how big of a deal it will be to upgrade and maybe prep some of the code to adopt those changes more easily when it is released.

count number of moves in history, as well

don't just track time, but also the number of moves.

Remember settings

store the settings somewhere so that we don't get the defaults each time the game is started.

Figure out how to classify difficulty of puzzle

try integrating with native menus

beta-2

fix the game generation problem where a piece is missing

consider just writing a unit test for it; or saving the original data somewhere so that it can be investigated when it shows up

work on the UI

try some background patterns
fade each layer of the stack at progressively higher levels
animate the push and pop
try 3d stacks

upgrade to cordova 1.8

Save history of games completed with timers

re-do guess stack animation to look more like a real stack

support window resizing/re-orientation

add something fun to the "game over" experience

perhaps something simple like a funny comment based on the time it took to finish

try using github pages to serve as free hosting

try incorporating Mobclix

Add option to get a hint

select the stack to use next, if a solution exists,
if not, backup until we hit a point where we can get a solution

test out the jquery.transit library

see if the jquery.transit library helps smooth out animations, especially on android devices

also consider changing the Pause button animation since that uses 3d animation and seems to run slowly.

Display solution as a connect-the-dots on the pieces

Support timer pausing

Put together better appinfo.json file

https://developer.palm.com/content/api/reference/config/appinfo.json.html

support 3 x 3 setups

deploy to html5 marketplace

http://openappmkt.com/

make end game comments difficulty specific

especially add code to increase the difficulty level if the times are good enough.

support browser-back with hash

since the game retry functionality is implemented using the browser hash (at least in the web version), the code needs to be updated to handle the browser back button changing the hash on us..

add monitoring

http://www.flurry.com/product/analytics/index.html

add help

need to add some sort of help that explains the game

auto-pause when viewing history

Fix "New Puzzle" to clean up properly

The old solution stack doesn't get wiped, and neither does the timer.

add ability to clear history

add confirm when starting a new puzzle

if an existing puzzle is in progress, new puzzle should require a confirm

Support 5 x 5 setups

add sounds to PushPop

add sounds that indicate a successful pop, a push, end game, and invalid move.

fix "invalid move" message

alert is ugly, intrusive and doesn't work on the Touchpad

Support retrying games

Calculate all the solutions for a puzzle

stop iPhone from converting numbers into phone number

http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/17141/webview-converting-numerics-to-phone-numbers

Create custom icon

for the appinfo.json file, app icon

Add timer

add device-specific styling

add a place for devices to put styling specific to themselves

make sound play logic device-specific

it seems that the old iOS devices don't deal with the proper HTML5 audio logic correctly, so i've dumbed it down for now, but that's making the other systems not as happy.

i should be able to override the "playSound" function in the device-specific scripts, so that each can do what's appropriate for itself.

Add posting time for puzzle to Facebook / Twitter

After completing a puzzle, show option to post the results (and a challenge to others) to Facebook and Twitter.

support different size boards (iPad, iPad retina, iPhone, Touchpad, etc.)

Add end of game functionality

when the puzzle is finished, it would be nice to congratulate the player, show the time, etc.

add New Game option

package game with PhoneGap and re-deploy

try and see how PhoneGap affects the game and see if it allows us to deploy on other emulators

try using images for the pieces to improve visuals

touchpad rendering of box-radius and box-shadow sucks

make instructions more prominent for new users
