Senile Bird released for iOS and Android!

jonimikkola — Sat, 10 May 2014 18:39:13 +0000

For the last month I’ve been developing my first complete game called Senile Bird. It is indeed inspired by Flappy Bird with little modifications I thought would make Senile Bird better. Game page: Senile Bird

My game projects until this, have been mostly unfinished projects that I’ve lost faith in after the initial burst of excitement. However, with this project the excitement lasted throughout the iOS and Android development process, which is very rewarding. I proved myself that I can actually keep up working to the very end. Someone could claim that project this short could be finished by anyone. While this might be true, I hope that this experiment makes it easier to maintain the passion through more complex and demanding games in the future.

Here is Senile Bird trailer:

Bash script for creating iOS & Android icons for OS X

jonimikkola — Sat, 10 May 2014 18:37:15 +0000

Hi, while I developed Senile Bird, I automated some parts of the process, such as scaling icons properly for iOS and Android devices. Since for iOS 6 and iOS 7 icons there is a minor difference on the edge curvature, I put them as separate parameters.
PNG file should have at least size of 192px, so that no quality is lost in the process. Also this assumes that you’re using Mac OS X since sips command only exists on Mac OS X’s.

[code language=”bash”]
#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -ne 3 ]
then
echo "Usage: create_icons.sh "
exit 1
fi

f=$(pwd)
mkdir -p ios android
sips –resampleWidth 57 "${f}/${1}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-57.png"
sips –resampleWidth 72 "${f}/${1}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-72.png"
sips –resampleWidth 76 "${f}/${2}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-76.png"
sips –resampleWidth 114 "${f}/${1}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-114.png"
sips –resampleWidth 120 "${f}/${2}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-120.png"
sips –resampleWidth 144 "${f}/${1}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-144.png"
sips –resampleWidth 152 "${f}/${2}" –out "${f}/ios/Icon-152.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-ldpi
sips –resampleWidth 36 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-ldpi/icon.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-mdpi
sips –resampleWidth 48 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-mdpi/icon.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-hdpi
sips –resampleWidth 72 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-hdpi/icon.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-xhdpi
sips –resampleWidth 96 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-xhdpi/icon.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-xxhdpi
sips –resampleWidth 144 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-xxhdpi/icon.png"

mkdir -p android/drawable-xxxhdpi
sips –resampleWidth 192 "${f}/${3}" –out "${f}/android/drawable-xxxhdpi/icon.png"
