NEW PLUGIN - Slot Machines

I've been looking to create a slot machine game since I first started with Buzztouch. So... now I can (and so can you): ------------------------------------------ NEW PLUGIN: SLOT MACHINES ------------------------------------------ https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=F3327C6471E9253CC0CEF85 ------------------------------------------ LIVE DEMO (note: you cannot hear the sound effects using the live demo) ------------------------------------------ http://angryninjas.com/slot-machines-hd Slot Machines is an awesome way to play your favorite casino games from the comfort of your iPhone or iPad. The classic theme of bars, cherries and sevens mixes elegantly with the modern look of the machine itself. Our mission was to create the most realistic slot experience possible, without getting out of your chair. Just like the real thing, features include selectable bet (1 coin, 2 coins, or 3 coins), realistic payouts based on actual casino reel patterns and pay tables, insert cash when you run low, stats that show your current credits, bet amount and last payout in the appropriate LCD areas, and all of the realistic sounds that you would hear from a real Las Vegas slot. Want to change it up a bit? No problem! All of the reel strip graphics, machine template, and backgrounds are in their own individual PNG and JPG files… simply swap out those with your own graphics and have a whole new machine! Also, instead of using a universal XIB file to make things stretch and “work” with all devices, we gave each device it’s own XIB, to ensure to most perfect fit and unobscured graphics humanly possible. The iPhone 3.5” screen has it’s own file, the iPhone 4” screen has it’s own file, and even the iPad has it’s own file. No need to replace three sets of graphics if you plan on modifying it though… simply drop in one replacement graphic (a cherry for example) and the changes are reflected on all 3 sets like magic. This slot machine was build from the ground up by myself, and is not something you’ll find on Github or other open source locations. I have completely documented the entire code as I wrote it as well (almost to an extreme), so finding something you are looking to modify will be a piece of cake.

Only by changing the background on the machine with another image. I didn't even think about additional language support. I'll remember it for next time. The labels on the opening page are changeable, just not on the machine itself, like the bet buttons and such

Love the graphics, a VERY polished looking sim. A well written plugin description. Any chance of a youtube vid so we can see it in action?

Thanks guys. No problem, I'll see if I can get a video put together this weekend... or better yet, maybe another live app.io demo where you can actually play with it.

"slots of fun" ?? Ouch ;) Sweet looking Demo. Slightly off topic; do you have to build an app for each plugin demo? Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug. App.io puts a toolbar directly in your Xcode menu bars, so yeah, you have to do a build in Xcode for each app, then just simply click "Upload to App.io" in the xcode toolbar. I usually build a single screen BT app out of each plugin I make anyways though, even if it means submitting it to the app store as a free app. Hey, it's already built anyways, might as well put it out there for someone to use. Plus, I always like to build a final app using my newly made plugin with a clean buzztouch project just to make sure everything is tested and working like it should. Since the project is already downloaded and built (everything except the screenshots and icons), I go ahead and submit it to apple. If nothing else, I put it out for free and enable iAds on it.
