I was browsing the Android Market (similar to iPhone's App Store) today and saw a fun application available for free download and had to try it. I downloaded it about 5 minutes ago and already have big plans for it. It's a Mario Simulator! What it does is use the phone's motion sensors to detect when
you
jump, and when you jump it makes the Classic Mario jump sound effect! If you tap the touchscreen in mid-jump, it makes the coin sound effect and tallies the coins you collect. If you tap the screen while walking or standing still, it makes the fireball sound effect, like you're shooting Mario fireballs! You also have the option of playing the Mario theme song constantly in the background, or you can disable the theme song and have just the sound effects. Freakin' Sweet! Imagine the fun you could have with this thing!
Anyway, my idea is to take the Mario Simulator concept and develop it further. What we at 21-st Century Quest Engineering would like to offer you is an application that has a huge selection of sound effects, such as squealing car brakes, cats yowling, dog barks, bells, squeaks, thumps, hoots, bangs, clashes, thunder, etc... from which you can pick and choose and assign different sound effects to different motion triggers, such as accelerating, decelerating, stopping, starting, jumping, screen taps, etc...
With this application you could simply stick your phone in your pocket or clip it to your belt (or whatever you like to clip such things to) and go about your daily routine with a theme song and sound effects, or make up games to play with your friends. This would take freeze tag and dodgeball to a whole new level. Yay!
Note: if you don't have a PDA or smartphone to download this to, or if your device doesn't have motion sensors or accelerometers, don't worry! For a very reasonable price, we'll throw in a cellphone-size device with the application pre-installed. It's Bluetooth-capable, so for future updates you can download them to your non-compatible phone and transfer the updates to the device via Bluetooth, and it's rechargeable so it doesn't drain your cellphone's battery.
