Znax is a remake of a game by Nick Kouvaris. It is a sort of puzzle / arcade game where you as the player need to select 4 blocks of the same color and form rectangles as big as you can. By doing this you will erase all blocks in this square and they will be replaced by new blocks. You keep on doing this till the time runs out, and try to gain your highest score possible. There are two game modes, Relative timer and fixed Timer, in the first mode you’ll also gain extra time for deleting blocks so you can play longer if you are fast enough. With the second mode you don’t get extra time for deleting blocks but just points added to your score so here you try to get the highest amount of points in the given time period. The game has support for up to 25 additional mod or ogg music files and skin support!

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Changes:

New as of version 1.1

PalmDOC and Plucker support, thanks to Zachary Bedell (all the best hackers are named Zachary). Support is somewhat rudimentary at the moment. I hope to implement auto-splitting for these files in particular–at the moment large PDB books are impractical.

Added GIF support to the image-viewing functionality.

Bug fixes.

Rumor has it a new iPhone Software Update will arrive this week. Please don’t forget that Books.app is at Apple’s mercy, and it’s very possible that after this update, Books.app (and all other third-party programs) will no longer work. (After all, no one’s jailbreaked the iPod Touch yet.) So if you’re thinking of donating, thank you!–but it’s better to wait ’til after the update comes down the pike, in case you’re never able to run the program again. 🙂

This is an experimental iPhone application to measure steps as you walk. Install it manually by downloading this and installing all the bits into the proper folders on the iPhone (complicated) or by installing AppTapp, installing the Community Sources package, and then selecting Pedometer (easy and preferred way).

This is a very early demo of a windowing system. The aim of the project is to create a simple windowing system that other programmers can use for their applications, which should decrease the tedious amount of GUI code that people have to write.

Changes:

– Fixed width/height inaccuracies (I wasn’t quite converting from (x1,y1) (x2,y2) to (x,y) (width,height) properly)
– Tidied up border drawing again (related to the width/height thing)
– Added intelligent gadget erasing
– Screen/window borders are now gadgets (so they automatically get redrawn as necessary when they become visible)
– Almost all gadgets now have a draw function that clips to a supplied rectangle’s dimensions
– Swapped the dull black rectangle in the SuperBitmap demo for a picture of many Marios (shows off the concept a bit better)
– The Pong demo now uses the SuperBitmap class as its canvas
