Nice ideas with the games guys.
Didn't see this except for motocoin and the motocoin game is just very bad Cheesy

If there could be a nice game for karmacoin, i see good times in comming

Even better if the players of the Karma Android game can get REAL karma coins by playng the game.

We could have a fund with some millions coins (donated by the community).
The user would put is wallet address on a settings menu inside the game, so that he would get the number of Karma he picked up playing the game sent to his address!

This is a fucking great idea!

If the cummunity is really interested I can make a prototype really fast.
But if not, then I will not waste my time.

I think it's a great idea. Karmashares just got itself an Entertainment Division!

I'd be happy to donate a million Karma to a fund to distribute the coins from. Generating income should not be the goal of the first app IMO. It needs to be as widely spread as possible and get Karma into people's hands and minds.

If you need some help give me a shout, I've worked on a few apps/games before and got a background in 3D graphics. I don't have terribly much time, but I know that often its the little things that help completing a project. God knows I have a dozen or so unfinished projects lying around myself, because I can't seem to finish the last 20% of work, LOL.

I can create a Karma Android game if you think it is a good idea.

I've done some games in the past just for my amusement.
But I think I'm a good programmer overall and I can program a game (even reuse a lot of the spare code I accumulated with my past project).

I would just like someone to join me as a designer.
Because although I can program fine, my design skills are a little lacking.

Sure I support this idea !

OK.

For the first prototype I would need.

A high quality PNG image with a Karmacoin.
I think that it your be nice to have a coin with a 3D effect like the one from the CoinO website (http://coino.org/).
It looks awesome.
This can easily be acomplished with 5~10 frames (5~10 PNG images) will all positions of the coin.

I need an image of an elefant (or whatever animal/character we prefer).
It would also be nice if the elephant/characted was animated.
So, 5~10 frames representing movement of the elephant (legs with different positions, etc).

I will also need a theme song and some sound effects for:

catching a coin
lose a life
game over

I also need a nice font for the menus and for the overlay information on the game (lives, score, etc).
There are lots of fonts here: https://www.google.com/fonts
We just need to find 2 or 3 nice looking ones, to experiment with.

Who can help me with this?

I will do all programming of the game.
Just started... eheh

This sounds great !!!
I was in karmacoin in the early beginning, but switched then to other coins. But the karma community seems (atleast to me) being one of the strongest and activest community here on bitcointalk

If karmacoin could get it's own android/iphone game, where ppl could earn real karma coin, i guess we could get much more attention.

Just as an example: If a game like flappy bird, for every stage you clear you get an amount of karmas. starting very low and growing bigger and bigger.

This would also bring the cryptocurrency directly into the android game appstore !!

***edit***

If you guys, who are able to compile/create a game require and teamspeak3 server for talking, i could host one for you. Just tell me if you are interested.

Have fun ! Grin

I like it.
It is cute!

But you can make it much more professional while maintaining the same concept.

For instance, there is some problem with the frame rate (number of frames per second), because the letters make small jumps (also called "judder" in the video domain), and you used the "Karma" logo with a black background in the beginning of the video (the background should be white, or light gray).

What application did you use to make the video?

Man ! I just did this video in about 20 minutes, for the fun. First I'd just filmed my cat with the Karma logo and then I had more ideas, adding text, voice then logo. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector, free edition, first time I used it. I can do it more professional if you want. Wink

Fyi: The Karma block explorer is down. I've already notified its admin.

The block explorer is up again. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Can I see rich list too?

We don't have our own rich list for now, sorry !
In our near future it would be great.

Developing an app for Karma is certainly a good idea. However, we may be missing the broader market opportunity.

For example, let's say we build an app where people do X with/for Karma. It's somewhat popular and gets 10,000 downloads.

But what if we took the same time, resources, and developer and made an app for a much broader market (game, utility, whatever). Nevermind about Karma. It's also popoular, but doesn't have any marketplace friction like 'Karma' preventing people from using or understanding it. It gets 100,000 downloads or more.

We probably can't monetize the first, but we could monetize the second.

The second would cause the price of Karma to rise (because of the revenue from the project), which prompts more people to use Karma and install the wallet.

The first is just something cool we do for Karma.

If the end-game is to increase adoption and the price of our coin so we can do good things for the community and others, then the second option is preferable.

Why not doing both ?

-One fun game with KARMA elephant, people win real karmas, it would be a community game.
-One other app/game, no karma-oriented, reaching 100 000 downloads and bringing income and value.

Don't forget that the community entertainment is an important part for crypto-users. Dogecoin rised only with fun/entertainment.
Sure, it may not bring much value, but pure entertainment may catches focus on us and give smile to stressed people (and there is a lot with all those pumps, dumps, market manipulations...).

I think, something like angry birds or mario where the in game coins are real money would be an excellent PR move and a chance to make money for anyone willing to take it up.

I'm thinking about a flying/running character (could be some kind of mascot of Karma, so we have to think well about it) that could be controlled with the fingers to go up or down.
It would have to avoid some obstacles and collect Karma coins Tongue

Maybe we could make the character speed up/down by tilting the screen.

What do you think?

sure, or a running elephant that has to charge and knock things down to collect coins while avoiding those dangerous obstacles and monsters that cause coins to come out (like sonic the hedgehog) when it gets hit.
