Titanium Mobile vs Sencha Touch

9 Replies

I just  tried out the sencha touch examples  on the android 1.6 simulator and the performance is pathetic. Seems like google forgot to properly implement their javascript V8 engine onto their OS.

Appcelerator’s Titanium Mobile and Sencha touch are 2 different frameworks which address a totally different set of audiences. Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. But, to a person who has never eaten fruits ever and wants to just try tasting one (analogy to creating a simple app which doesnt do much of processing) and not try juggling with the fruits (analogy to creating detailed games or apps with lot of processing involved), they appear the same. So here’s a post attempting to compare them and help out those who have to make a choice when it comes to building a  simple app.

Kaun banega crorepati game (kbc2) (download the game)

300 Replies

Update as of 5th June 2011 : Source code for the game has been published on this page. Now you can change the game as you wish, using Swishmax (www.swishzone.com)

Update as of 20th Dec 2010 : I have been noticing quite a lot of visitors reaching this page through google search.  So drop in a comment if you would like me to add any new features onto the game.

This was a simple game I created using SWiSH in 2005. The questions appear randomly with no logic for the levels of difficulty and the “Phone a friend” lifeline is a dummy lifeline with no real purpose. You should check out the game here. The game was hosted on a free domain kbc2.be and also on openflash.be initially which got a decent amount of hits. Those domain names dont exist anymore, so I have published it here. You can download the source code and read the instructions below if you like to edit the game to suite your needs.

KBC flash game source code

I have also noticed a few visitors to this blog searching for terms like “kbc game source code”. I am not sure whether anyone want to modify the existing flash game to accomodate new lifelines or game rules.
Anyway, you can download the source code for this game and a sample questions database (20 questions only) using the link below. You will need Swishmax v3 to open the .swi source file and edit program logic. If you just want to edit the questions and answers database, you can edit the core.kbc file in the zip archive.
If you modify the game using this source code and publish it elsewhere, you should retain an always visible text which reads “thekirankumar.com”

Download the game

How to add your own questions or edit the questions in KBC ?

The questions database (core.kbc is included in the KBC.zip package) contents are as follows :

&totques=183&
&ques1=What is capital of India?&
&a1=Bombay&
&b1=Delhi&
&c1=Calcutta&
&d1=Madras&
&ans1=2&
&ques2=Who is known as the father of the nation?&
&a2=Lal Bahadur Sastri&
&b2=Mahatma Gandhi&
&c2=Bal Gangadhar Tilak&
&d2=Rajiv Gandhi&
&ans2=2&
…

The first line &totques=183& in the file can be changed to specify the total number of questions you have in your database. If you plan to put only 20 questions, change the line to &totques=20&

The first question is in a variable called quest1, the second on quest2 and so on…
Similar naming for options . Variables a1,b1,c1,d1 will contain the text for the options for question 1. a2,b2 etc for question no 2

Answer is specified as &ans1=2& where the value 2 says the answer for question number 1 is option b (i.e, the variable b1). Similarly ans1=3 means that the answer is c.

Hence, by editing the core.kbc file using an text editor, you can modify/add new questions to the game.

You can access the source code of the flash game by opening the KBC.swi file using SwishMax. Post the URL of your version of the game as a comment in this page, I would love to see them.

3ds max animation

4 Replies

Since childhood, I was always fascinated by the movies having those CG animation sequences. I always dreamt of growing up to be an animator. But it started taking shape when I installed the trial version of 3ds max 4. The ease of use and the hidden power of 3dsmax immediately stuck to me. I started spending hours together staring at the screen trying to make some cool shapes with different materials. Continue reading “3ds max animation” »

Joomla real estate component built using ExtJS

4 Replies

Check out yourproperty.ae

The goal of this project was to create a complete real estate component for Joomla 1.5 using ExtJS framework. Watch out for search engine friendly URLs even for dynamic search results. There is an admin side for managing the whole component. Real estate agents and normal users have separate logins and separate priveleges.
The ExtJS framework provided ready to use components which made the website look very professional without putting any effort on the aesthetic side of development. When the user first reaches a website which uses this component, he will be greeted with a google search like homepage where he could choose the city to search. Optionally, one could specify the number of bedrooms in the house, and the type of apartment to further filter the search. Once the search button is clicked, the search results are displayed using a sortable , paginated EXTJS grid component, which will show a small thumbnail of the apartment and also give you other details. There is a small slider at the bottom of the results which will help the user scroll through the different of paginated results. Clicking on any of the results will open the detailed view, where a small photo gallery of the apartment is shown along with more details about it.
The administrator’s section will allow the admin user to add properties along with the photos. These photos are cropped to the right aspect ratio and then compressed to various sizes and stored in the server.
