Shopler - shopping list app for Android!

Postby lcl » Wed Jun 05, 2013 5:52 pm

Hullo! :D

I've now been working on a little android app called shopler.
(Shop + helper = sholper, I know it's kinda difficult to get it xD)

The app isn't ready yet, but I have made some nice things to it already and wanted to show
it to you guys.

In the future it will be able to count the total price of your shoppings, as well as possibly
save the items you buy, so that next time you don't have to write them, you can just select them from
the list and set the amount of items to buy. :)

Some screenshots:

The beginning screen

The dialog for adding new items.

The new item has been added to the list (the list will look better when I get to work on it)


And here's a little video of it.


Have a nice day! :D

Well, it runs pretty well currently, but performance can never be too good.
So, what tips you have? :)

Disable the events and disable visual off screen :) And use a button or soemthing that triggers moveto to get them to move back in screen and revisualize

Ok. I think those tips won't have that much effect on this little app. But those are important things in games. :)
I'm using canvas actors for the buttons, and that could possibly be slowing it down a bit. I could try changing them to actors with animations..

You can do buttons without any extra actors. using "if(xmouse>=*this* && xmouse<=*this* && xmouse etc)"

Of course, but there's no reason since I have like about ten actors only on screen (except when using the keyboard), and GE still handles actors pretty well. :)
I think it would be a bit complicated to set that up, because then the animations would have to be the background actors animations, and there would have to be many of them. O.o
