You play with crayons and physics. The goal of the game is to move the red ball so that it collects the stars. You can cause the red ball to move by drawing physical objects.

Changes:

Scratch to erase! With an option in the menu to disable it (in case you don’t like to erase lines 🙂
Option to swap the tap/double-tap functions
Some performance enhancements
Some bugfixes (including the annoying object disappearance one)
And some nice new joints for level creators (iPhysics_Levelpack_Format)

MultiTouch v0.1.1 (iPhone Application)

News from doblezeta:

Here’s a new interesting app for the iPhone that gives it a Minority report like interface demo for image rotation and scaling.

MultiTouch v 0.1.1

To Install, you need to add the iPhon.fr source in your Installer.app’s sources.
To do this:
In installler.app
tap sources
tap edit
tap add
type: http://s.imov.eu/
tap ok
wait for sources to refresh
tap install
look for multitap under the iPhon.fr category
install multiTouch.

Enjoy your iPhone’s Minority Report-like interface and view of NY Twin Towers Ground Zero

But wait! There’s more! for those who wish to edit the default picture shown by the app (i changed mine to a googlearth view of Rockwell Center) follow these instructions:
Notes:
Requires MultiTap to already be installed on your iPhone!
Requires knowledge of SSHing to your iPhone

1) Download and Install Pixer (Mac Only, I;m sure Windows also has a nifty pixel changer application

2) Choose your desired picture to appear in MultiTouch.
TIP: Use GoogleEarth and use screenshot (Apple-shift-4 on Macs) to make and use a GoogleEarth image.

Since the image has to be a .jpg file with resolution of
797 x 737
and preferably (but not required)
72 pixels per inch,

Here’s where Pixer comes useful. Launch Pixer and choose the picture file you want, then convert it to a 797 x 737 jpg. save to desktop.

rename the .jpg file that Pixer just created to: WTC_skyview.jpg

TIP: Images that are originally close to a 797x 737 (almost a square shape) will work best.

3) Launch your SSH application on your computer.(Fugu or Cyberduck for Mac, WinSCP for Windows)
Login to your iPhone
Navigate to the iPhone’s /Applications/Multitouch.app/ Directory
Drop the WTC_skyview.jpg file you created (from your desktop), to the iPhone’s /Applications/Multitap.app/ directory.
You should get an alert whether you want to overwrite IF your dropped the WTC_skyview.jpg file onto the right directory. Click Overwrite.
Close Fugu
Restart iPhone.

Enjoy your customized MultiTouch. 😉

Great app that shows you the potential of our beloved iPhones. Imagine if future games implement this feature. I can imagine a port of SilentScope working well with this interface. =)

NSB finished the first cut at a port of Classic Empire to the iPhone. It can be downloaded at: http://ixionstudios.com/files/iEmpire.zip

This is currently a straight port of the VMS version of empire from way WAY back, so some of the features from the more modern versions aren’t included.

Playstation has arrived on the iPhone (iPhone misc)

Earlier this day we already reported about the upcomming Playstation 1 emulator for iPhone’s. Now it’s getting more shape with this post made by ZodTTD:

My very first build of psx4all for the iPhone & iTouch worked! You gotta love when the first compile for a program works!

These are two quick screenshots of the very first build (note: not a release, just a work in progress) …

These images won’t reflect how the release will look. Also ignore the data in the debug information at the top, as it’s not accurate.

What can you look forward to in the first release of psx4iphone? Depends on how the beta testing goes. I will be working on the existing dynarec (cpu emulation) quite a lot to improve performance as it will be required. The screen scaling and screen placement will be drastically improved over the above images. Memory card support will work, and save states might work. Sound will be implemented as well. The interface/gui will be very similar to gpSPhone’s just with 4 hard buttons instead of just A+B, and L2 and R2 buttons. A rough estimate would be about 75% of games will be compatible. With such a large library of games, this may or may not include your favorite game. Performance will have to be increased about 25% to get a good portion of games running smoothly. This can be done.

I will be contacting those who donated to me (for gpSPhone and psx4iphone) when a beta of psx4iphone (also works on iPod Touch) is available. If there’s a large amount of beta testers and the demand is there, it could be within a matter of days.
