Newgrounds application 2010-09-29 09:26:58 Reply

Hey guys, I recall some time ago there was either a flash/ desktop application for Newgrounds that would stream a randomly chosen artists music, and shuffle the playback from there. Do you think it would be possible to have such an app for the android OS? I would make it myself, but I'm still not "done" with C, and my Java-fu is incredibly weak. Infact, is there a newgrounds application for any mobile OS?

I haven't heard of such an application yet, but I've googled for you and it seems that there are only applications for accessing the NG BBS.

I just checked on the iPod Touch/iPhone's app store. There's two apps made by the same person that allows you to see the Art Portal (only the top 8 pictures) and the Audio Portal from the app. Not surprised there's no app for viewing the Flash Portal, with no such capability on the iPod or iPhone.

Thanks, that's pretty cool, at least that much exists. It's labeled iphone, but I'm guessing it can be viewed in any mobile browser (Skyfire, dolphin, etc). Thanks for that. The application I mentioned in the first post was for anything that ran flash, you were able to run it on your desktop, etc, but it was so long ago I can't recall where I found it!

Well, that's more than what I expected to exist for a mobile device. As far as I know, flash itself would be pretty taxing on such devices anyway no? I know one browser for the android OS plays flash, but the browser it self hangs and runs a bit slow on my G1, but I guess it would be different for each HTC device anyway. I wish those apps you mentioned were ported over :(

There's an app you can get it you jailbreak your iPod/iPhone that runs flash partially, but you can't interact with the flash. It runs quite smoothly, but I imagine for interactive flash applications it would probably slow down the device to a crawl. I wish it was easier to port applications between Mobile OS, as I've heard there's some good Android apps, and there's some good iPod/iPhone apps that would probably be better on another device with better controls.
