Gmail (IMAP) Push for Pocket Outlook v0.6 (PPC Application)

The program runs in the background and subscribes to IMAP IDLE notifications. When the notifications arrive it can do a send/receive on the PocketOutlook account you specify, effectively enabling push email for your Gmail account (or other imap server that supports the IDLE command).

Release notes:

Update: version 0.6.0 is released
Changes: program allows you to save your settings, and will not prompt you next time you start it. To get the prompt again, currently you need to delete the settings file. Note that storing your settings stores your encrypted password on your device, and since this is an open source program, anyone can lookup how I do the encryption, so only use this option if you are comfortable, and change your email password if you lose your device!

Totally useless but fun little script. Can be used WITH and WITHOUT Sensor API (use arrow keys).

Turn your Sensor API phone to roll the balls to given direction. Each time there is movement, also the color changes a little bit.

Enable background bubbles or tiles for more fun visual images.

Paparazzi v1.0 (Symbian OS Game)

Paparazzi is a sensor game, where you have to help “Movie Star” (big yellow dot) avoid “paparazzis” (small red dots) as long as possible. You can do this by turning and tilting the mobile phone.

This is an experiment how to use raw Sensor API data in game play. It’s pretty usable – you don’t have to turn your device 180 degrees to go from one side to another.

However movement is too jumpy and would require smoothing down. There are several possibilities how to do that.

Unity v0.60 (Symbian OS Game)

Unity was originally invented in Japan 1985 as “Chain Shot!” by Kuniaki Moribe. After that it has spread all over the world with names such as SameGame, TumeGame, KomeGame, MameGame, DebaGame, TileFall, Cabeem, MaciGame, GD-BMD etc.

The idea is to clear the whole playing area by removing tiles in groups. The more tiles you remove at the same time, the more points you get.
