DroidGOX Widget: Birthday Has Reached 5,000 Installs

After just a few months and even less than a year, my widget app called DroidGOX Widget: Birthday had surpassed 5,000 installs.

While the number of activations or devices using the app is not the same, it still made me feel good knowing that users opted to try and check out my birthday widget.

It may not look to be the best of a user interface considering that I am not into graphics that much unlike when I was still in college, but the birthday widget actually does its job pretty well.

It sends an alert notification whenever one of your contact's birthday is up. You can then either send a text message, call or email your friend.

Simply widget. And it is free! The download link is located in the right sidebar of this blog.

Thank you to all the users who installed and uses this app.

Tower Of Hanoi Now Available In DroidGOX Card Games

I have just released the second game of my DroidGOX Card Games collection called Tower of Hanoi. Yes, you know this game pretty well. Does the image below look familiar?

Instead of this one, the game features cards from numbers 1 to 9. The suit for the cards is determined when the first card of either 1 to 9 is dealt.

As for the game play itself, it is the same as the original. You make sure that cards are laid out from 9 to 1 in any of the columns.

Sounds easy but once you hit it off, your patience will be tested. The top 10 list is determined by how long you finish the game.

Good luck and enjoy the new game! You can download it in this [Tower of HanoiLINK]

DroidGOX Card Games Now Live

Finally, I just published a new game app called DroidGOX Card Games. This app features a collection of card games that are common and unique.

The games in this app are actually games that I made as Java applets way before and I thought I would try making an Android game just to have an idea how it works.

This app is the product of that curiosity.

The first card game featured in this app is Pyramid Solitaire. Try to clear the pyramid and the stacks as fast as you can to be part of the top 10 highest times.

Currently I am working on finishing Tower of Hanoi so I hope you will enjoy these games.

Yes, I know. These are simple card games and card games are not really addictive. But they can be great complements to killing some time.

If you notice, the graphics are simple. If you wish to contribute your creativity to make the app better looking, drop me a comment here and we'll talk. Your name and info will be included in the INFO section of the app

[CLICK HERE] to go to the app's Google Play page.

The app does not include any ads because I know how annoying ads can be. At least show your appreciation by giving a 5 star rating and give a +1 to the page. Thank you!

Enjoy the game(s)!

DroidGOX Card Games Coming Soon

I have been slowly developing my own version of Pyramid Solitaire. Actually, it was out of boredom that I thought I might see how Android gaming can be done even in its simplest forms.

I decided to convert one of my card game Java applets to an Android app. Then again, I thought if I freely publish this app for free it will still be boring because I am sure there are many variations of Pyramid Solitaire app out there in Google Play.

So it was then that I thought I name my app DroidGOX Card Games to feature a variety of card games. Considering that I made so many different card games as applets, it would be nice to have them as an Android app. Having many games can keep the user interested using the app.

Since I will be doing this in my spare time if I do not have anything else to do, I will only finish the first card game for now.

The other games will follow depending on the time (which I cannot tell) or if generous donors will gladly donate some PayPal moolah which can inspire me to work on more games and slowly add them 1 by 1 to the app. Till then, stay tuned!

DroidGOX Widgets Install Counter 100-500

Yey! Quite happy that my birthday widget has an install counter range of 100-500 now. Feels good really. If you have not installed it in your Android phone, please do so.

The widget simply shows birthday celebrants in your contact list and enables you to either email, text or call.

DroidGOX Widgets: Birthday Available For Free

I have finally released my second Android project in the Android Market and it is available for free. I made a birthday Android widget for this one and the user interface is pretty simple.

Every midnight, the widget checks if the user's contact list has birthdays matching the current day. If there is/are, then they will appear together with the contact's avatar plus 3 visual buttons in green color where the user can either text, call or send an email to the birthday celebrant.

If the contact has more than 1 phone number and/or email address, a popup window gets displayed asking the user to select which one to use.

Feel free to give this a download. And do leave a rating and comment regarding the widget. Thanks!

Note: There may be cases wherein the last update of the widget may not be on time every midnight. This can be because the Android system stopped the service if the phone is low on memory.

Still, the widget does run every 30 minutes to ensure that the service is up and running all the time. Click the icon on the right to go to the widget's page in the Android Market.
