There are at least 2 Boing Ball apps in the iOS market, but none for Android...

until now...

You should have spent a couple more minutes making an app icon...

An obvious violation of Amiga Inc trademarks. I'm afraid I've got to report this.

Why does this need permissions for position and internet access? 0_o

Might be a violation of MS trademark. Remember when XP came out?  If you go to the My Pictures folder, the logo is the boing ball.  Look at the logos!!

The version I put in the android market has an ad component (InMobi) at the top of the screen.

Sorry :(

I'll compile another version without the ad for this forum if anyone is interested, but I need to fix a problem with the OpenGL font drawing routine first.

The ad does not refresh when in the background and when you press the back button the app will actually be killed and will not remain resident in the background like most android apps.

Cheers!

Nice work, gave you 4*'s

issues:
Ads do not work, and the text at the top is unreadable (as you mentioned).

Next time make it like $0.99 and get all us lazy asses to pay you some money! Or make at least 2nd pay version as an alternative.  I'd send a buck your way for fun.

It serves absolutely no useful purpose - really just an exercise for me to learn Android programming.  

I think I'll put a link to this video so people will understand it better.

(in version 1.0.3) I finally figured out the issue with the text being corrupt on some devices.

Hopefully anyway...
