Zaccharia for Android: Initial Release Discussion

[Zorgwon]

Future Pinball has two Zaccaria games Robot and Magic Castle, I've been playing a lot of Magic Castle lately and love it.

Also played these.
The english voiceovers of MC feel a bit amateurish but are easy to understand. The most original thing is the twisted outlane giving the idea of a draw bridge. The time bonus is interesting although not specific.

I'm probably going to buy everything when it comes out on Android, I already support Zen 100 % and purchase all their tables.

I am a Nexus 7 first gen user 4.4.4. I just had a cousin with an Ipad Air stay over for a week and I installed this app on it and tried the free table. I was very impressed and in sim mode the physics were actually very good and a lot better than I expected. I love all the config options - spot on. If the android version is as good as this I will definitely go for the the whole package.

Change my device from Nexus 7 2013 to a Nvidia Shield Tablet.

It's good to hear from a long term customer. I'll still be supporting A.S.K.

As you can see on the following picture now table is displayed correctly, so there is no texture bugs. Also it has been tested on PowerVR, Tegra, Mali and Andreno systems.

Hey there Zsolt

It sounds like you've tested on a fair variety of processor architectures. Great work!

So how it going with Android? I hear the great news that you have improved the physics engine for the game!

Man, I'm looking forward to throwing a large amount of cash at my screen. The older tables in TPA get most of my attention, so having this era of tables available will be a blast.

One of the guys in my Pinball league has Magic Castle and another Zacc title, so I would be very interested in getting some time on the real machines vs the digital ones when it arrives.

Could you guys also take a look at the new physics video Zsolt posted, and share your view on this? See thread: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...inball-new-physics-engine?p=162480#post162480

Wow, that´s great news! I recently switched from iOS to Android (not permanently, just to try it out), and I was pretty sad that those games aren´t on Android.
Really looking forward to this! By the way, I really love the juicy mechanical sounds in your games, they really add to the atmosphere.

Looking forward for the Android-port ! GREAT!

I use:
Sony Tablet Z 1st Generation - running Android 4.4.4 (tablet has native support for PS3-controllers via Bluetooth)
Nvidia Shield - running Android 4.4.2

P.S.: Would love to be a beta-tester for the android-version!

It's cool that you don't have to root and use Sixaxis to use PS3 controllers. Wish Sony would share their Bluetooth stack with AOSP.

Something tells me I need an Android.

 

[Snorzel]

My girls tablet i will be getting it on is a Samsung SM-T310 can any one suggest a good bluetooth controller?

 

[Mad07]

With root: PS3 CONTROLLER AND SIXAXIS

 

[Snorzel]

Should I just look for a video with instructions? I dont know much about this sort of thig but want to learn for my pinball fix!

 

[Mad07]

If you have root access on the tab, try the free version from Google play Sixaxis and an original PS3 controller. Beside the app, I believe, there is already an instruction and/or a video. If the Testversion is running, you can move for small money to the full version. But remember: you need root

Check if all things running well

Or, if you don't want to root the tablet, the Moga Pro is also a good (but somewhat expensive) option.
