just for fun, i had written this (really simple) game for Android not long ago. i decided that i should release it rather than keep it on my hard drive doing nothing. it is really simple, but still, it is fun enough to try 
if you have an android phone, download it a shot and let me know what you think – and if you have better graphical skills than i do, please feel free to send me some images 
dstar (well, death star as @wnafee chose to name it instead) is a simple puzzle game from the ti days. i posted a link to an html5 version a few days ago, and today, we’re releasing an ad-supported android version (just for fun). it was done by @wnafee and i.
it’s simple, but challenging – if you like puzzle games, try it out and see if you can beat all the 32 levels! you can find it on the android market.

here’s a screenshot of the level selector and another of the game play. graphics by @somaiagabr. levels come partially from the ti83 version and partially from gstar. as far as i know, the game was originally made on the ti by joe w, although i think there’s also an hp48 version somewhere as well.
al7amdulillah, quran android 1.3 has been released! new features include improved ui and graphics, better page scrolling, multiple translations, basic search, and more!
download it from the android market or check out the code on github!
in case you haven’t seen it, check out version 1.2 of quran android (released on december 23rd). you can see screenshots and a more detailed change log on hussein’s blog.
more features and improvements are in the pipeline. feel free to check out the code on github and let us know if you have any suggestions, thoughts, or contributions!
just for fun, i hacked together a simple prototype of quran search on android. in reality, it’s more close to the autocomplete transliteration demo that i did some time back. for now, it’s only transliteration search, but later on, it can be expanded to search other languages. ultimately, it should probably be integrated into quran android.
you can find the source here. (update: added a link to a tar download and removed the code from github since i am not really maintaining this – june 26th, 2011).
ramadan kareem! just in time for ramadan, we’ve released the first version of Quran Android. download it and let us know what you think! the source code is on github.
after the nexus one came out, i became a little more interested in android. while i had written a simple ‘salam world’ app some time ago, i figure it would be nice to delve a little deeper and try to write something remotely useful.
so without further adieu, introducing a (very simple) quran for android:

for the most part, android is fairly fun and easy to develop for. however, one of the most frustrating parts is the extremely limited memory for apps. since apps can’t be on the sd card (due to some security issues), you are limited to the very small amount of memory on the device. consequently, in order to display the images for the quran in this app, the app must download the data to the user’s sd card.
note – try it at your own risk, i only tested it on the emulator…
