December 27th, 2010 | EarthBound, Videos
Gaven recently sent this in – users of Android phones will probably get a kick out of it:
Android has a concept of “live wallpapers,” which are basically backgrounds that move. So, I applied the concept to the Earthbound battle backgrounds. You can check it out here.
You can see a video of it in action below. It was recorded using an Android emulator though – the backgrounds animate MUCH more smoothly on actual hardware

Random Guardian: Do iPhones have active/motion wallpaper? I thought they didn’t.

Say, where did you get that one?

jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touches allow for moving backgrounds, so it saddens me that iOS is not supported by this. Oh well, I can still play Mother 1, 2, & 3 on my iPhone

The creator of that screensaver did release the source code (as seen in the comments), if anybody wants to improve it.

I also believe that the Android OS can be installed on a jailbroken iPhone if anyone wants to try that LOL

I love it! This is very much worth a dollar.

Despite all of the disclaimers about the video being made with an emulator, I found that the backgrounds were just as slow and jerky on my Incredible. I like the idea, but ended up refunding the app.

I agree with Chris. I liked the idea, but upon actually using it, the backgrounds run very laggy at any frameskip setting. Hopefully it’ll get better with future updates.

Wow, this is just like that screensaver that I still am using on my computer. If only that screensaver could have a few features added… such as choosing from a list of animation configurations rather than only allowing a single configuration.
