Ibn's blog

So, I got a new toy^H^H^Hphone the other day, and I started playing around with programming for it. The new one is an Android (Xperia X10 Mini), and I found plenty of resources for programming it.

So, yesterday I spent playing around with the direction sensors - and I came up with a simple gyro/compass. Since this could be a fun basis for a game that I would like to play, in case you write it, I thought I'd share. (And also, becase the implementations I found on the web were quite tied into other stuff.)

In this case, it is the corruption of memory. Not that I am getting senile, or if I am - it's not the problem over which I am currently obsessing, at least. It all started ages and ages ago, with the project that actually inspired the blog's subtitle.

Sometimes when you program (ok, ok, when I program at least), you commit one of those stupid errors - that completely sidetracks you. So you use every tool you have at your disposal, include google and gmane, but come up with nothing. This is where best practices may save you.
