After 3 hard months of design and build we finally have a version ready for the android developer challenge! As soon as ADC 2 kicks-off, hopefully any day now, you&#8217;ll be able to judge the app for yourself. Please keep in mind that ADC terms and conditions do not allow any updates to be made to application during the judging process. We find this frustrating considering we plan on making MANY updates to the game-play etc. In my opinion, how developers support their applications should absolutely be one of the merits applications/games are judged against. So, as part of our commitment to offer outstanding support for CowPotato, we will continue to have a &#8220;beta&#8221; version available in the android marketplace. We&#8217;ll use this version to showcase the latest updates etc. We greatly appreciate user feedback so keep it coming! I can assure you you&#8217;re requests will not fall on deaf ears! Please send feedback to: <a href="mailto:info@froogloid.com">info@froogloid.com</a></p>

<p><strong><span id="more-831"></span>Features: </strong></p>
<p>+  3D OpenGL GamePlay </p>
<p>+  TaterCam™ ~ that’s right, follow the potato all the way to point of impact!  Cool huh?</p>
<p>+ Animated cows (right now only the cow is only animated during the manure attack, but I can assure you there are many more animations on the way!)</p>
<p>+ Global Scoring ~ see who’s the number one CowExterminator</p>
<p>+ Automatic scene transition.  Fast game-play ~ shoot one cow, move to the next :)</p>
<p>+ 3 Levels ~ Easy, Medium, and Hard</p>
<p><strong>A brief history about the game&#8230;</strong> </p>
<p>Why shoot cows with a potato?  I say, why not?! :)  This game was designed entirely for entertainment purposes, but I&#8217;d be lying if I said there wasn&#8217;t some &#8220;real&#8221; world experiences thrown into the game-play.  In fact, the potato gun sound in the game was actually record from a real potato gun haha.  My days as an Army artillery sergeant may have had some influence on the game as well&#8230;  I can neither confirm nor deny this though :)  We wanted the game to be as realistic as possible, but still offer the silliness of a game, thus the cows were added as targets.  If you&#8217;ve never shot a potato gun, you&#8217;re certainly missing out.  It&#8217;s a surprisingly fun experience. </p>
<p>Why 3D OpenGL?  This was a tough decision, sort of&#8230;  We could have taken the easier route and created a simple 2D shooting game, but in our opinions that wouldn&#8217;t have been nearly as fun for the end user.  So instead, we decided to take on the monumentous task of building a 3D game.  This increased the work load about 10 fold, but we knew if we going to have even a remote chance in placing in the ADC we&#8217;d need to step up our game (pun intended).  Come to find out, there is a reason there are not many 3D games in the android market&#8230; they&#8217;re tough to build!  Nonetheless, looking back I&#8217;m glad we took this route and we have plenty of fun updates on the way!</p>
<p><strong>Special Thanks!  </strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">WARNING!</span>   <span style="color: #000000;">Do NOT shoot &#8220;REAL&#8221; cows with a potato!  Not only are you likely to make a herd of 1,000 lbs cows mad at you, more than likely there&#8217;s a farmer near by with a loaded shotgun in his/her truck!  Froogloid, LLC and its partners are not responsible for your lack of good judgement.  Okay, end of disclaimer :) </span></strong></p>
