KhetDS v1.03 (NDS Game)

KhetDS is a game that combines lasers with classic strategy. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian-themed pieces having two, one or no mirrored surfaces. All four types of pieces (pharaoh, obelisk, pyramid and djed column) can either move one square forward, back, left, right, or diagonal, or can stay in the same square and rotate by a quarter twist. Each turn ends by firing one of the lasers built into the board. The laser beam bounces from mirror to mirror; if the beam strikes a non-mirrored surface on any piece, it is immediately removed from play. The ultimate goal is to illuminate your opponent’s pharaoh, while shielding yours from harm!

Changes:

* Fixed some bugs that crept up
* Made it that grey can no longer move Reds pharaoh and can now move their own!
* At the end of the round it will now take you back to the main menu so you can chose a different layout
* Turn is now shown by the color of the background – Red background, it’s reds turn – Grey background, it’s greys turn

The development of this game pretty much depends on YOUR feedback, so give it a go and write a few lines to Etias.

The ultimate goal is to illuminate your opponent’s pharaoh, while shielding yours from harm!

Changes:

* Classic: Use this setup if this is your first time to play Khet. Good for learning the game
* Imhotep: A variation on CLASSIC that opens up new defensive possibilities.
* Dynasty: A setup with an immediate balance of offense and defense that develops quickly.

The development of this game pretty much depends on YOUR feedback, so give it a go and write a few lines to Etias.

Full Doxygen API documentation is included within the download archive for assistance with program integration.

Task Facade v3.8.1.6 (PPC Application)

Task Facade, previously known as Dynamo 3, is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.

As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

Changes:

+ Silent start-up
# Fix: NullException in OnActivate
# Fix: Closing from outside (e.g., reinstall/uninstall) could cause exception
# “Ban/Bar process” operation renamed to “Hide

***BEFORE INSTALL***: Before installing version 3.8, uninstall the previous version AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE ‘TASK FACADE’ FOLDER from Program Files’. You do not need its old content.
