We can’t wait for the release of Goop on Tuesday, August 2. The wonderful YouTuber touchgameplay made a video of the game play of and did a great job of showing exactly how Goop plays. It’s always nice to see a neutral party create a video that isn’t a review and filled with opinion.
I like to see people be able to make up their own opinion, especially about apps and games. Someone’s “this game is awesome” is someone else’s “this game is not for me”. Sooo….watch the video to get a sense of the game play.
I haven’t really kept this blog up as much as I should have, but I have an excuse….I’ve been finishing up my first title for my game company.
That’s right, I’ve finally done what I’ve been wanting to do for years (long before the days of a more open market that allows smaller developers to enter the scene) and that’s make a game. Continue reading
When you get stuck on that programming nightmare, wouldn’t it be nice to simply turn to your kind next door neighbor that happens to develop wonderful apps like you and has 10+ years of Objective C programming knowledge that retired just a year ago from Apple Inc. Well since we all don’t have that privilege, we have to turn to the web for help and there is no better way to get help on an issue than from multiple peers in the field without leaving your seat.
So let’s check out some helpful sources for Cocoa developers! Continue reading
As you might know, SimpleLeap Software started a scholarship for students that simply recorded themselves getting rid of their paper flashcards and boy is the Flashcard Scholarship getting a lot of attention. We really didn’t know that many students would want to participate but we were clearly WRONG!
Check out the short vid featuring the Flashcard Scholarship on the local Jacksonville, FL news. Make sure you enter or remind your friends and family to enter the scholarship as the deadline is slowly approaching.
I’m so excited to be sharing this because we have been planning this app out for several months, even before we started actually developing and designing the app – so needless to say this app was a process. Continue reading
Well we’ve all heard by now that Apple has left out the Mac folk from this year’s Apple Design Awards festivities. There is even a shallow Mac-based theme for the various session for WWDC ’10. But have no fear, it looks like Ars Technica may be stepping up to the plate.
Ars Technica has decided to hold their own design awards for Mac applications. This is very interesting as it may finally open the gate to more awards Mac developers can receive besides waiting to see what Apple decides what not to do. Either way, hurry up and submit your nominations as they’re taking submissions until May 21st (TOMORROW !!!). My biased opinion hopes Cram can pull out something.
Only when you look back do you realize how far we have come. Sounds like a cheesy re-tweeted quote, but it’s a simple fact. I was talking with my business partner Ashli and we were laughing about the things that are just flat out old news, how soooo high tech they sounded when were in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. If you still use these things, say these things – take the gentle nudge as a hint to let it go. Continue reading
Do you intend on going to college soon and every TRADITIONAL scholarship you look into you quickly realize you don’t qualify for. It’s ok, we have scoured the internet and have made sure to find at least one scholarship for everyone. There are so many weird and unusual scholarships out there that you can be assured to find one to fit your situation. Continue reading
I guess with the hardware and software of the iPhone a bit more stable, Apple has time to address other issues that have been a pest. For the past several months jailbreaking an iPhone required a special exploit until recently. The latest iPhone 3GS devices to hit store shelves now address this issue and make it (for the time being) impossible to jailbreak.
I guess as apple becomes more lenient on the types of apps they allow in the AppStore, they return the favor by making it harder for people to jailbreak their device. From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense for them to plug this hole which made it possible for a few dedicated individuals to circumvent loading Apple’s pockets with money having to stick with Apple-signed apps in the AppStore.
For the time being Apple has won the battle, but we all know nothing is perfect and software is not invincible, and this may just be the push someone needed to try their luck in returning jailbreakage to the iPhone. I just hope Apple doesn’t get too caught up in this cat and mouse battle that new features and advancements become less frequent or dull.
A new Cram (version 1.0.4) release was pushed out earlier today that addressed a couple minor bugs regarding Snow Leopard. Make sure to do a Check for Update and download the latest version.
This release also includes some other minor bug fixes.
