New App: StormSketch (etch-a-sketch)

dmglakewood · Thread Author #1 02-12-2009, 05:55 AM

Okay you guys asked for it so here it is.

What is it? If you don't know what an Etch-a-sketch is then this app probably isn't for you lol.

How to use it? Use your finger to draw on the screen. If you would like to have a new drawing board simply shake your phone left and right and it will clear the screen.

How can I get it? Here is the OTA Link. For those who don't know, simply click on that link using your blackberry storm and it will install it for you.

Current Build 1.4.7 - If you notice any bugs or anything post them in the thread. I will try and fix them asap.
New - You can now change colors by simply clicking on the screen. There will be a circle in the bottom right hand corner that will be the current color

This is cool, how can I repay you?
Like always the app is free, if you wish to donate you can using the button below. Either way I hope you guys enjoy the app.

Lets make a little contest
Draw a picture using the app and take a screenshot of it. The user with the best image by 8pm tonight will get 20$ via paypal. I will pick the top 3 and then create a poll and have the user vote on it.

Haha it keeps people happy and puts a few extra dollars in my pocket. It's like a win win I suppose. Plus I'm self employed so I have tons of free time to just code.

Wow DMG this app is awesome!

I am soo jealous that there isn't something like this for my Curve. I shall endeavor not to pass my day in a cloud of etch-a-sketch envy. But seriously... This is very nice!

DGM, you are on fire.

Can v.2 make the sound of sand sifting around like the real E-A-S. That would be cool.

Just kidding.

Donating today.

If I can find a sound clip like that I could edit that in. Although the sound of the wobbly touch screen has the same kind of affect lol.

That's the program you need to download to save screenshots. Then go into

Home Screen > Options > Screen/Keyboard and set one for your side keys to capture it.

I hope that's not too confusing.
