In this tutorial, we would be going into game development by creating a simple game using Processing IDE. The game features a bouncing ball with a Paddle to catch the bouncing ball. In order to understand this tutorial, you need to have a basic knowledge of programming, preferably in Java.
For this game development tutorial, you would need to download Processing IDE from Processing Website
Here’s what you are going to be creating

 
First of all before we begin, I’ll like to say “If you are already a programmer, it’s very normal for your mind to think you cannot go on with a game development project all because it seems too complex”. But for me, the way I overcome such thoughts is I decide to break the project down to steps and just start. If I get stuck in a step, I’ll seek help for that step.
The first step in game development in processsing is to create the skeleton of the game, so open processing and type in following




Java


void setup()
{
}

void draw()
{

}




12345678

void setup(){} void draw(){ }





 
The first method above which is the setup() method is executed once, so basically code that you wish to execute just once should go there. (These are mainly codes that initialize variables or instantiate classes).
The second method which is the draw() method is executed continuously, so code that you wish to execute repeatedly should go here (Basically the visible items or items that are drawn on the screen go here.).

All blackberry users would agree with me that Blackberry is a smart phone with a very dumb battery. Anyway here are some steps you can take to get the most out of your battery.

 
 

Reduce your BlackBerry back light Brightness and also the back light duration and thick “Automatically Dim Backlight” in Screen Display options.
Avoid having several social networks on one phone: Applications like Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp, facebook chat … etc when running all at the same time can really drain the battery in no time.
Turn off background Sync on facebook application: When this is on, your phone periodically sends and receive data to and from facebook respectively and that can really drain your battery.
Turn off all group notifications.
Switch your phone from 3G to 2G: This method increases the battery life by approximately over 40%.
Finally if your battery is in a really bad state already i.e it lasts for only a few minutes, then Try wrapping the battery up in nylon and freeze it for 24 hours. This worked in my case

 
Note: Do the final step only if your battery life is unpredictable.
If anything is unclear, ask your questions in the comment box bellow

We have been asked a lot of questions about how to upgrade your Pin Pals account without getting blocked on BBOS devices. For those who don’t know, supported BBOS devices include:

BlackBerry 9900
BlackBerry 9700
BlackBerry 9780
BlackBerry 9788
BlackBerry 9930
BlackBerry 9790
BlackBerry 9360
BlackBerry 9370
BlackBerry 9350
BlackBerry 9320
BlackBerry 9220
BlackBerry 9310
BlackBerry 9620
BlackBerry 9315
BlackBerry 9380
BlackBerry 9720

Upgrading your Pin Pals account is easy.   Here are the steps to do so:

Get 200 naira worth or Etisalat recharge voucher
Go to the upgrade page on Pin Pals and carefully input the 15 digits into the box provided
Click the upgrade button
Enjoy your upgraded account

The following would lead to the suspension of your Pin Pals account

Using an invalid recharge voucher
Using an already used recharge voucher
Using the recharge voucher after loading it on Pin Pals
Loading a recharge voucher with value less than 200 naira

 
Note
It takes up to 24 hours for your recharge voucher to be validated however your account would be upgraded immediately.   This means that you might enjoy the service for sometime even if you input an invalid or already used recharge voucher, however when we detect that your recharge voucher is invalid, your Pin Pals account would be immediately suspended.

In this tutorial, we would be adding a Menu screen and a game over screen to the bouncing ball game that was created in the last tutorial.   So make sure you download the .pde file from the last post.
Here’s what we will be creating:

Since Processing does not give any standard api for switching between scenes, we would need to improvise.   The best way to conveniently transit from screen to screen is to use a variable to hold information about the current screen running.
For this example, we would create a String variable and call it currentScreen.   So go to the very top of the code and type the following:
String currentScreen = “menu”;
The next step is to edit the draw method and make it check the current position of the screen so it can determine what to draw.  ie If the currentScreen variable value is equal to “menu”, then it draws a text, if it is “gameplay”, it plays the game and if the variable value is “game over”, then it shows the Game Over text.   To do this,  change the content of the draw method to:







background(255, 255, 0);

if (currentScreen == "menu" {//Checks if the screen is in the Menu
fill(0);//To change the text color from default White to black
textSize(50);
text("Brick Breaker", 120, 110);
text("Press any key to start", 37, 230);
}

else if (currentScreen == "gameplay" {
ellipse(ballX, ballY, 20, 20);
fill(0, 0, 0);

If you are about to start your journey into HTML5/Hybrid app development but are a little confused about how good hybrid apps can get, then read on.
HTML5 apps have a relatively bad reputation as compared to native Apps. One of the main reasons for this is because it is amazingly easy to create crappy HTML5 apps even without knowing it… I was once guilty of this.  
Another reason is that some hybrid app developers are from a Web Design/Development background so they tend to develop apps just the way they would for a standard website forgetting the fact that mobile apps run on devices with relatively low hardware configurations.   This means using some things like unnecessary Javascript animations would absolutely be inappropriate for a Hybrid App.
So below is a list of some pretty cool HTML5 apps/games for your inspiration

Brick Breaker Bold for BlackBerry10 – I didn’t believe this game was actually created with HTML5 until a BlackBerry Development Advisor confirmed it
BlackBerry10 Browser – I still find it difficult to believe that the BlackBerry10 native browser was built with HTML5 even though it has been confirmed from a BlackBerry source.
ViceVersa
Walk2view
GT Bank Mobile App
Tic Tac Toe   –   This game is really amazing
Summon
Love Sms Collection   –   I personally developed this app, and I know there is still room for improvement
Pin Pals – Meet your next date   –   This app can also be greatly improved on but it still deserves to be on this list.

This list would be updated from time to time. ... Read more at https://fincoapps.com/some-really-cool-html-5-apps-for-your-inspiration/

If you are a developer and have your apps on any of the App stores, you would agree with me that it is not really easy to get positive reviews on your apps regardless of how great the app is.   Getting positive reviews on your app is really important for the growth of the app especially in stores like Google Playstore where App reviews are also considered in the search algorithm.
I realized how difficult it is to get positive reviews a few months after releasing my first app “All SMS collection” to BlackBerry World.   What I noticed was that this app got a lot of downloads but very few reviews.   At the time, All SMS collection got an average of 400 daily downloads and an average of 1-2 reviews per month.   Some of these reviews were negative.
This made me start to wonder what could be happening ?   Initially, I felt the app was really bad but then I had a lot of users but these users that weren’t complaining… It then occurred to me that:

When a user downloads an app from any store, if the user likes said app there really is no need for the user to stress his/her self to go all the way back to the store to write a review….
However, if the user for some reason was not pleased with the app or if the app somehow gets the user angry, the user would be willing to go all the way back to the store just to pour out his/her anger as a review…

Well there are ways to get around this and boost the quality of reviews of your apps.   I will be highlighting 2 methods I tried that boosted my reviews
 
1. Create a “Rate this app... Read more at https://fincoapps.com/how-to-get-more-positive-review-on-your-apps-on-appstores/

When developing with backend technologies like PHP,  a time comes when you need to use and manipulate JSON objects.  One of such manipulations is removing or deleting a JSON key.
There are several ways to do this, however, I find the below method preferable.







unset($json["key"]);




1

unset($json["key"]);





Note that for this method to work, you need to pass a true parameter to the second argument of the json_decode() method.  See the below sample:







$json = json_decode($json , true);
unset($json["key"]);




12

$json = json_decode($json , true);unset($json["key"]);





The second parameter simply tells the method to return an associative array instead of an object.
Hope this helps.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comment box below. �

This error is actually more annoying than common.  One of the major reasons it is so annoying is because of the fact that it does not actually point to the exact line or file that caused the error.  It leaves it up to you to figure it out.
Cause
We still have not been able to point out what exactly triggers this error but it seems to have something to do with a mismatch in your Gradle dependencies.
Solution
There are different ways to fix this issue.  Not all of them will work for you.

Check your build.gradle file to make sure your compileSdkVersion matches the version of your support libraries.








compileSdkVersion 27
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'




123

compileSdkVersion 27 implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0' implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'






The above code will possibly throw this error because the support library version does not match the compileSdkVersion.  So to fix this, upgrade your support library version.
Migrate your entire project to AndroidX.  To migrate your project, follow these instructions:

 Click on the Refractor menu item in Android Studio
 Click on “Migrate to AndroidX”.
 Follow screen instructions



The second solution could be problematic in large and complex projects.  You might be required to manually migrate some of your libraries.  However, this solution is guaranteed to solve this error as long as the migration ...

Most of our readers would know by now that at FincoApps, we were in love with the BlackBerry OS and we only stopped developing for BlackBerry 2017.
One of the Apps we designed is Pin Pals Dating App.   This is one of the Apps we are quite proud of.   However, at first, Pin Pals dating App was available only on BlackBerry OS.

Facebook recently announced a second URL for their site that can only be accessed through Tor.  Tor is a software that allows users to log in anonymously from nearly anywhere on the planet even in countries where Facebook is heavily monitored or blocked (China, Bangladesh and North Korea for example). This makes Facebook the first major web company to offer a platform on the Dark Web.
So what is the Dark Web or the Deep Web?
First off it is important to understand that the Internet is vast and constantly growing and the majority of our daily usage only scratches the surface. Google, Yahoo, and other search engines only show us about 4% of the data available on the Internet. To access the other 96% we require customized digging through individual sites, sub pages, restricted access journals or archives and so on this 96% is called the Deep Web.
It is also important to understand that pretty much everything we do online is visible, traceable and even possibly being monitored. Everything except for the areas of the Deep Web that are masked by the Dark Web. The Dark Web is concealed through a series of identity masking layers. This basically means that you can access and interact with it anonymously without being tracked. This is achieved through a special encryption software like Tor.
What exactly is Tor browser?
TOR actually stands for The Onion Router. The Tor browser currently publicly available is actually based on Firefox Browser. This means that when installed on your computer, it appears and acts like your standard Firefox browser.  However, instead of routing your co...
