Ok now that the Game is developed it has to be posted to the market.
Great !!! Wait .. now wouldnt it be interseting if I could capture the Video of the game
during play.....it would be great for marketing right!!! but how...

Now I know it is quite possible as everytime a new Bitmap is created in onDrawFrame
or to be more specific frame...

So what I want is to somehow save each frame in image format
and then later on compile all these images into a single video file

Something like :
onDrawFrame(fb)
{
fb.clear(RGBCOLOR);
world.renderscene(fb);
world.draw(fb);
fb.display();
world.savecurrentframeimageBMP(OUTPUTSTREAM);
}

Can anybody tell how it can be made possible...
Something like taking ScreenShots....

Now that I think of it this technique can also be applied for making animated movies.

Eg : In the game music ride 2 posted in Projects (JPCT) there is video of game being played in realtime .

Hi Egon ,

Yesterday I downloaded AlienRunner source and was going through it in SurfaceCreated
there is piece of code something like this :
int[] memoryalloc = new int[1024*512*3];
memoryalloc[0] = 1; //use it
memoryalloc = null; // clean it
// 6 mb

Now as I can see here you are just creating 6 mb space in the memory(RAM) and then make that 6mb free
As memoryalloc is not used anywhere else then why are you doing this code.

Please help me understand and does it increase the efficency of APP

Hi Friends ,

Finished my first Project (HIPPO SHIP) now SPACE COP 3D as the name sounds better.
The Spaceship also got the NYPD lights. Fully Polished project ready , complete.

Feature :
- Infinite Gameplay
- Challenging Levels (Speed increase after 50000 points & then again after 100000)
- Cool Sounds
- WWW HiScorecard
- Keyboard Support (if can attach a keyboard to your tab/phone just use <- / -> DPAD)
- Android 2.x & >

ENJOY !!!!!

Hi Friends ,

I was going through the advanced example and in the DrawFrame function there is a small code to calculate the FPS\
Something like : while gettimemillis < 1000 ; fps++ (gives the current fps)
Now , I want to know is that I want to use this code to Benchmark two phones (Graphics Processor)
Suppose one phone I have has some NVIDIA and the other has some other lesser like SHARED GRAPHICS PROCESSOR that shares the processing from chipset.
So will the FPS on the first one be greater than the second one.
Also will the difference be constant.
I want to do something like GET the FPS from the best GRAPHICS PROCESSOR (suppose I get 350 fps).. this value I save in my benchmarking program as the best value (the scale is of 10) so this value i.e 350fps is value 10 on scale.

Now the person runs Benchmark on his phone . My app (which is performing heavy graphics routine) calculates the FPS on the phone and compares it with the best i.e 350fps and accordingly gives the result to the user as to the quality of his GRAPHICS PROCESSOR.

The output would be something like this :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your FPS : 125                                                 Best FPS : 350
Your GC : Shared                                             Best GC : NVIDIA

           Benchmarking ...
                   
           Your score is 3.567   which is AVERAGE
           Consider upgrading your TAB/PHONE
           if you want to play games with high
           graphics....

Hi friends ,
I was working on a project in jpct regarding spaceship sim. And some point in the program I needed to calculate distance beetween two objects. I want a SimpleVector that contains the info of the distance in terms of all the three axis. To be more specific :

SimpleVector distance = Object1.getDistance(Object2); //This should return the simplevector form

is there some function to get this form of distance Maybe I am overlooking something cause I checked all the parameters of Object3d & SimpleVector Classes but could'nt find any such function ??
