It's 4pm on the dot and I should be getting my a** outta ere if I hope to catch an early (???) BRT bus to festac. Anyways, I've had it in mind to put up some lines here but for my top priority. In fact, my sense of relief right about now is cos I eventually managed to scratch up something of a solution after hours of pain-stacking stares at this monitor. Yeah man, I checked outta home as early as 7am and my destination was obviously Marina as I'd planned yesterday. The reason's not far fetched. I needed a good length of privacy to pore through tons of texts on adding a game module to the mobile version I have for asa. Deadline assumed a new dimension yesterday when the CCHub trio of Tj, Bosun and Femi checked in on my progress. They were impressed with the Android version and dropped a hint as to some possible openings with Samsung phones coming into our market. 'Gen gen'! With all I had remaining in terms of completion having to do with replacing graphics and voice, all I had to do was talk to Iyke about the latest development. I mean, no one's guarantying anything neither is anyone saying we're getting paid for this but for crying out loud, this is a glorious opportunity to distribute this Minimum Viable Product. But then, I also got useful feedback in the areas of additional features which led me here today. It'd crossed my mind about a week ago to add a game module to the app but I changed my mind after thinking through choosing instead to concentrate on optimizing what I heard for as many platforms as I could within what my skillset could deliver on. Besides, I'd thought to myself that there could always be an upgrade in form of versions. Well, now that the trio dropped the hint, I knew I could push it and push I have since 8am this morning. After poring through over 100 pages of a text that touched on the subject before working Google for useful resources, I have something tangible to build on. Programming can be a pain sometimes and as the hours wore on, my sight became cloudy from the lengthy exposure to the monitor light. Anyways, in the end, I held on and got through to a point where I can safely say, I'm 24 hours away from incorporating the game module. The logic's always the most difficult aspect and I just didn't think I had the time to go the usual route of building a related project in Flash using ActionScript which is relatively easier and more comfy for me before applying same logic in Android. Besides, the logic as applied in Flash doesn't always apply as in this case where I'm working on native Android without the luxury of drag-and -drop components as I have with the former. Well, that's that. Tomorrow, I should be at the hub wrapping up the module. In terms of incorporating with the other module which I already have, I did experiment on Eclipse yesterday and reported no bug. So, it should be a smooth affair as soon as I have the other module done. [sigh]...I'm tired and feeling a bit of aches round my body, probably owing to my posture. I'll just have a shot I took from my view here on the 14th floor up before leaving. Okay, that's it peops, I'm outta here. Gracias Lord.
