Hello, Matt
I am checking out multiplayer right now, and it’s awesome! Long wait delays are compensated by ability to have multiple games at once. This creates an unhealthy addiction to my android, and may cause divorce, employment termination, expel from university or any combination of the above.

Have the samsung galaxy s epic 4g with sprint. for whatever reason i cant seem to take control of the buildings (unoccupied or enemy controlled) i read the directions of course and it just doesnt seem to let me, i occupy the tile and have tried button mashing a little, click holding etc.. dunno why. im sure ill figure it out as soon as i click post cuz thats just how these things go. but other than that great game. it also force closed when i click+held a few times.

Hi,

I am a big fan of your game and have been playing it every day for the past 4 months now. I have finished the campaign mode several times. I am just wondering when are you going to make/release Battle for Mars 2. More units and bigger maps would be prefect.

Keep up the good work!

Regards,

Khan

Hey Matt,

Just wanted some guidance from you, if you don’t mind. In my application i am getting the same error as you were getting in your game application(noted here by ‘Win’ in comment 19), which you have already resolved.

I am developing an application which uses Collections.sort(List) method. Here, this arraylist is containing objects of class Contact with ‘name’ as one of the instance variables for this class. I am sorting these objects based on this name attribute.

Can you please let me know, how did you resolve that general cotract violating error in comparison method? My error stack trace is:

Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): 05-24 12:59:31.975: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(16046): to uncaught exception

please! please! please! DO NOT port this to iphone — Android needs some great EXCLUSIVE titles so they can compete with iphone os. The game is amazing! The last time I played it though, the characters did not turn around when moving left… they just kept facing right. So I am guessing you will just create mirror images of the characters and write a few lines of code so they face the direction they are walking in. Aside from that minor gripe, this is my favorite game on Android!!!!

So for the past 2 days, my game will not load new turns for any of my multiplayer games. Any advice, as I really would like to get back to playing? Thanks in advance!
