ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

iPhone Table View is a great tool to organize thousands of characters.


You can brows by categories and individual character code and its name in an organized way. Search provides the ability to find a character not only by the character itself but also by Name, Unicode code point.

By enabling UTF-8 display, you can search characters in UTF-8 encoded form (this allows you to decode UTF-8 byte sequence into Unicode code point). If you are debugging text in gdb and wondering what the UTF-8 bytes represents, this is the tool you can decode the bytes into meaningful characters.

Unstacker is a new breed of solitaire card game that was designed specifically for the iPhone/iTouch!

Cards are dealt face up to nine stacks. Your job is to unstack the cards in a way that produces the longest sequences of cards in order (ace to king) or sets of 2, 3 and 4 of a kind. It’s fun to compete with friends to see who can get the best score. You will enjoy this game anytime you have a couple of minutes to spare. The depth of the possibilities in solving each new shuffle is addictive and challenging.

This app was created with the new DragonFireSDK – the easiest way to develop games for the iPhone. Windows devlopers (C/C++) should take a look at DragonFireSDK.com for the easiest way to create iPhone Games.
