Nick, Did you figure this one out? I want to do the same.

Dude. Copyright does not cover ideas. The end. Piracy is defined by
what IP rights are. There is no tetris patent claim (which would cover
an idea that is tangible enough). There is a tetris copyright claim.
However, the copyright claim applies to look and feel, and a fact
finding of just how clo

Your contention that "grown up operating systems" should not allow you
to copy ideas is totally unfounded. You can never patent abstracty
ideas. Game ideas cannot be patented. Whether they should be is a
different discussion. You can go right and now, and make a game on
Windows with a story ver
This is not legal advice. I actually am a lawyer, and these copyright
violation claims are very shaky. Basically, they have a copyright to
the exactly worded source code. So if they wrote "int numTetrads =
50" and you wrote "int numBlocks = 50" you would not be infringing.

Does that really help? I mean, is GC that bad?

Using DisplayMetrics also works. I read somewhere in the documentation
that DisplayMetrics should be used.

Not sure if this will work, but try going to the command line and go
to the android tools dir, run:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
See if that fixes it.

Hi,
I am developing a game based on the SurfaceView/LunarLander example in
the sample code.
I have one activity, with one menu option that is "new game".
My activity listens for the menu selection, and once new game is
selected, doStart of the Game thread is called. The game starts up
after 3-4

How would I ensure it has input focus? It is the only view in the app

Hi,
I have an activity which then set's a custom View class. Most of my
app's functionality is coded into the View. I detect motion events
from this class. However, when I overrided "onTrackballEvent", it
never gets called.
I then inserted this same method into my Activity class, and the
