Our first DroidScript app - DewDrop .spk

[DogPlanner GSS]

Hello for everyone 😊 

We wanted to present our first app, written using DroidScript. 

A mobile app that lets you create a "dew drop" with a simple touch of your finger to your smartphone's surface. This droplet will serve as a waterpas, compas, luxmeter, timer and also provide a bit of entertainment with its ability to react to various smartphone interactions, move across the screen depending on its angle, you can make a walls for drops stopping, and freeze and evaporate depending on the light intensity.

It might be useful to someone.

 

.Spk in the attached file. It is possible to use as example of DroidScript working with different smartfone sensors.

Have a nice weekend!

Best regards

Dmitry

HI,

Touching ? in top right is in Russian (?)

Not sure what the modes do

(After a while) touches become slow or non-responsive

Not sure what different colour squares mean

Sometimes coloured squares go off screen

Regarfs, ah

Dear Alan, 

I am very glad that you took a look at our app. And your questions gave the right advice immediately. We need to write little manual when first app launch.

Let me pls clarify a little right away. At the first screen it is possible to choose the language (Russian or English) for further data and info displaying. Also at this screen there are Earth and Mars icons for our web site launch and Mars surface condition settings respectively.

A couple of sentences to clarify the last point. When we begin to do this app we were just starting to explore DroidScript and wanted to create a simple surface-level indicator to highlight DroidScript's capabilities—specifically, working with sensors and seeing immediate results as the smartphone's tilt changed. Then we decided to add another smartphone sensors to the app and it expanded to include a light intensity indicator and a compass, and later a timer was added as well. All these modes it is possible to change at the the top-left button and subsequently appearing. At the top-right button and subsequently appearing menu and brief descriptions of modes are provided here.

However, the concept eventually expanded somewhat, and the app evolved from a simple set of tools into a compact, visual educational demonstration describing various physical conditions on Earth and Mars. It isn't finished yet, but we plan to complete the display of the differences later on. E.g., a different droplet runoff rate due to varying accelerations due to gravity, compass will not work on Mars due to the absence of a magnetic field etc.

The droplet itself on the screen shimmers with various colors because it makes it more interesting and conveys an added sense of its light sensitivity. But it work with random color calculating depending on the accelerometer readings.

Maybe it's become clearer now. But it’s really great that you took a look at the app itself and shared your thoughts.

Have a nice day and week!

Best regards

Dmitry

Good morning for all 😀

In the attached file the new version of the DewDrop app.

Here we added modes descriptions when choosing one.

When we were creating the dialog window for descriptions, a question arose: is it possible to change the color of a standard alert message (e.g. from black background to the white)? We couldn't find the answer in the documentation.

In this version the new form of the menu is used: horizontal uix.CreateFAMenu. This solved the latency issue—now, when selecting a mode or description, the selection appears immediately.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Dmitry

HI,

If the docs don't show a way to change the colour of a control

it may be worth looking at app.CreateTheme

Regards, ah

Dear Alan,

Thank you very much for advice! We never used app.CreateTheme yet.

It is very useful function. We will try to use it in the future.

Have a nice day!

Best regards

Dmitry
