Android Developer

I built a few games for android over the years and managed to publish a few. I soon realized, building a game is not the end of the project, one also has to market and promote the game which becomes a continuous process and given the very large number of games out there, it turns into a competition about who see's a certain app first. Even though there may be millions of people with Android Phones most of them would see, max, the top 100 games. It is very difficult for a new project to get noticed and be seen because it would be at the very bottom of the list.

This led me to quit game development full time and tone it back down to hobby level. I have a few projects unfinished which I hope to bring to fruition in the next few years, if you have played my games:

Thank you! GLHF!

Beware: Those who use chatGPT for their exams or work!

ChatGPT struggles with prime numbers! While trying to understand how the public private key cryptographic architecture works using chatGPT, I asked what is a coprime number after chatgpt explained its use in the said architecture. Here is the response in all its glory: Two numbers are said to be coprime (or relatively prime) if they have no common prime factors other than 1. In other words, their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 1. For example: 8 and 15 are coprime because their only common factor is 1. 14 and 15 are coprime because they share no common factors other than 1. 10 and 21 are not coprime because they both have 1 as a common factor. Looking at the first and then the last example which is supposed to be a counter-example as to what is not a coprime number, we can clearly see that chatgpt gives the same reason for each case i.e they only have 1 as a common factor. After further investigation, chatgpt replies: Apologies for the confusion. You're correct. 10 and 21 do not h...

How to encrypt your data in android?

Android App for encrypting sensitive data Here is how your messages can be accessed legally. And although you should stay legal... Here is how your messages can remain encrypted even if the app developer is forced to provide your messages: Get it from Google Play Do you store your passwords in a text file which are prone to hacking? Do you use a password manager that seems to work like magic or needs Internet connection to work? Do you write down your passwords on paper? Say Hello to Dexacrypt, encrypt your passwords and other sensitive data and store them anywhere without requiring any internet connection. Your encrypted data will remain safe as long as only you know the secret key. You can even print the encrypted password onto a piece of paper Do you trust in whatsapp, messenger or some other messaging app to keep your messages secure while they are being sent? Do you accept the risk that your messages can be intercepted by a malicious hacker? Will you rely on others to encrypt your...

Good Game: Dice City

Another GTA Clone Back in early 2004, when the internet was new and download speeds were hitting 30 KB/s there was the thriving of world of flash games and a little programming language some of you might have known as ActionScript. Among the many games was a title called Ray part 2. I was pretty young at the time and I had a computer with very weak specs, a Celeron processor. I could not play many of the AAA games. I would download their demos and wait at least a day for the download to finish, make sure the computer was switched on, sometimes the downloaded file would be corrupt so had to restart until download managers came around and saved me quite a few times. Ray part 2 for me was no different than actually playing GTA vice city but I could at least play it. The good thing about it were the different choices available in the game. Along the years, I would check from time to time if Ray Part 3 was released and eventually I found out that the original author had abandoned the g...
