Everything in the games/application sections are going to be used as a game on the Zune.

I was using this alarm clock last night in bed and i thought to myself, "if only the light would go off on the screen", then i realised you could do that if you pressed the back button.


this then got me thinking about, "what if you could implement a visualizer into the background as some ambient light to help you sleep, y'know, like subtle colour changes from blue to green and red and stuff.. would really be quite good to help relax and sleep.

if you dont understand what i said because i write it stupidly tell me

No updates in this thread for a while....Is this project still being worked on?

[Huntsman85]

Yes, this project is still active. I actually just got back from my honeymoon, so I've been a little bit busy. I'm hoping to get a release out in the next week or so.

hey i tried downloading your alarm program but when i try to open it and deploy it to my zune the c# program tells me the file has been missing deleted or removed. im kinda new to this downloading programs thing but i was able to get games on no problem. if you could just give me some directions on what to do to get your alarm clock i would appreciate it.

[Rockman87]

congrats on your honeymoon!

So I just discovered yesterday that if you are debugging an application through visual studios and set a break point in the application and the application pauses at your break point.... you probably shouldn't disconnect the Zune and take it with you. The zune is told by the computer to pause and wait for the visual studios to unpause the program, but if you've disconnected it then you can't tell it to unpause. so I have to wait for it to die or till I can get my other zune. To anyone complaining about battery life... lol, I really don't see what your problem is.

Zune Alarm 1.2 - Late Production (small delays
The main thing in this release is going to be the Countdown Timer! Unlike the regular alarms, there will only be one countdown timer. Since there are many different features desired in a countdown timer, I thought I would limit it to all of them... with the exception of playlists because that is a different feature that I still need to look into, hopefully 1.3.

Countdown Timer:
Save
Status: On, Off
Hour: 0-24
Minute: 0-59
Type: (will rename)
Play Music THEN Shutdown
Play Music THEN Alarm Sound
Silent THEN Play Music
Silent THEN Alarm Sound
Sound: Alarm, Buzzer...
Song: Your music ZBlade style
Song Name:

This should allow you to do pretty much every combination you can think of for a countdown timer. If you have any other ideas let me know. My hope is to get the playlists working next, but I'm not sure how hard it will be to integrate into the ZBlade Music Menus.

Let me know if you have any ideas!

Eagerly awaiting the product of your geniusness!

this is without a doubt the coolest clock yet.

Is there any other place to download this apllication. The place for the version 1.0 and 1.1 i can't download from there. Anywhere else?

[Huntsman85]

Why can't you download them from there?

[soccermansince1993]

I'm gonna download it right now, Thanks!

it says unable to find, then my computer crashes. Is there anyway i could find it somewhere else especially in .zip form. I would really like to download it before Tuesday because i need it on my trip

[dabeastofdamusic]

i cant wait, i'm just glad you actually know how to program, you really thought about this, didn't just throw things together on ur spare time.

If This App Doesn't Already Have it A Snooze Button Would Be Nice!

[Huntsman85]

Snooze button is a good idea. Things got a little bit busy over the 4th of July weekend, but I am getting pretty close with the sleep timer. You can probably expect v1.2 sometime this week.
