You are doing your development on 5.8, and that PW1 can not be running anything more recent than 5.6

I don't think so, user reported that the kindlet works, even if with resizing issues and no logfile

If that means you don't think that is involved in the problem -
that is quite possible.
If that means you think the PW-1 is running something newer than 5.6.1.1 -
I haven't heard of a Amazon releasing an update for the PW-1.

The Java interface for Kindlets is suppose to be stable -
for as long as it was officially supported.
On your 5.8.x it only happens to be not-yet-disabled (on the 8th. generation devices, the code isn't gone, just disabled by a control flag).

Official support was dropped a long time ago.

So you can't depend on 5.6.y <-> 5.8.x interchange any longer.

Now true, KUAL did not stop working until the 8th generation devices -
But you may be using interface calls that KUAL is not.

The KUAL source might be a good place to look for how the various screen sizes and resolutions are handled.

- - - -

And your PW-3 has twice the RAM that the PW-1 does -
Plus there are those "not enough space" failure messages in his log.

I uploaded a new version on the first post.
Does it works now on PW1?

Check if you are still running the expected firmware version.

Didn't realized that. The info box in the settings still shows 5.6.1.1 (2689890035). Even after a reboot.

Man you made it. Working now and an empty KMinesweeper.log is now in developer/KMinesweeper/work folder.

The empty log is normal: it only logs errors (if any).

Did you test appearance on other levels?

Able to get it running on PW1, PW3 and KT3.
But in all of them, the size of the minefield is always 9x9.
How to increase it?
Your screenshot shows a larger minefield.

System menu->options->select level

encol · 11-24-2016, 05:49 AM

Custom level added in the options menu.
Redownload the kindlet from the first post.

Feedbacks are welcome

Works great, love it! Only game I have found that works on my PW3, would love if you made more!

Working on Kindle Voyage running 5.8.2.1 ...nice little game.

encol · 12-23-2016, 05:26 AM

Thanks, I'm happy you like it

Hanspeter · 12-25-2016, 05:05 AM

encol,

one question that is in my mind. Did you rewrote the game from scratch or do you repacked an one you had into the right java container?

Indirect question, could we repack more games to have them as standalone books?

Merry Xmas

I started from a java swing version, but I rewrote most of the code, primarily to handle some kindle-specific issues (such as e-ink repaint management).
