ReQognise 2.1.2 submitted to Nokia Store/App World for N9 and Playbook

Well today was a progressive one.

There were some bugs in the N9 version that required UI changes. I have moved the tiles off the edge so it doesn’t interfere with swiping. While I am able to prevent swiping, I felt it was better to keep the N9′s natural gestures. As on other platforms, there is still an exit button in the top corner should you prefer it.

Another glitch in the N9 version was with the vibrate function. Apparently this does not work with QtQuick yet, so it will have to wait.

After my bug fixing spree, I submitted the latest version to the Nokia Store for Harmattan and to the App World for BBX (Playbook).

I hope you enjoy the game.

As always, if you have an issue on your platform, feel free to comment on here or email me to quickly resolve the issue. I check these every day and have plenty of free time to fix what ails you.

ReQognise 2.0 submitted to Ovi Store

The new ReQognise 2.0 has been submitted.

As explained earlier, the UI has been revitalised with Qt Quick which improves speed and adds animations.

This initial version is a huge leap from ReQognise 1.04. Even so, I intend to further improve the UI by further optimising and simplifying the UI code and making use of the more advanced features of Qt Quick and Symbian^3 (such as GPU acceleration, online interaction, particles, physics and so on).

One of the most glaring omissions in this initial version is the lack of a messaging system. I still make use of Qt/C++’s message dialogs for displaying errors, notifications and opening files. As such, the Avkon system is still relied upon and this can look ugly, slow and does not respect rotations. I envisage to replace these messages with Qt Quick in the next iteration of this game.

 

E6 Reqognise Quick

I hope you all find my use of Qt Quick exciting and refreshing. For those that are yet to try it, I will be uploading a youtube video to demonstrate ReQognise 2.01 when it is released. The improvements can’t really be seen in a static image.

As a side note: I am looking in to translating the application in to the languages of those who have downloaded it (from Ovi Store statistics).

Further: If you have any queries, bugs or wishes for the application, please comment on here or send me an email!

Thank you all for your support.

ReQognise updated to 1.03

In this version, I focused on optimising the experience for the E6-00. As you will see (in the screenshot below), the application uses the entire space now — cramming in a larger puzzle box by making the interface buttons smaller. Full changelog after the screenshot.
