Jack and the Beanstalk (Build 2) (A2600 misc)

atariland2600 has posted a progress build of “Jack and the Beanstalk”.

Release notes:

Added a cut-scene between levels 1 & 2, even though I’m nowhere close to being done with designing levels for level 1, therefore, the only way to see the cutscene is by pressing reset, preferrably at the title screen. In the cut-scene (Jack just got home), Jack’s mother throws the beans out the house window. Night falls, and up grows a beanstalk. The sun rises and then level 2 begins (I haven’t done any programming for level 2 besides putting in the first screen’s playfield.) Hope you like it. Also, can someone please design a one-color troll for use in this game?

APlogger v1.0.4 (iPhone Application)

APlogger is a native iPhone/iPod Touch application that scans and logs visible WiFi Access Points (APs).

It is similar, and owes much to, the popular iPhone Stumbler application, but provides a number of additional features:

summaries of the most recent scan and all past scans since invocation are displayed.
detected APs are logged in a tab-separated logfile for offline analysis. Logfile names are expanded using strftime().
the current location may be enumerated and is logged with each AP entry (sorry, no GPS support yet!).
one-off scans, or periodic “auto-scanning” at a chosen rate, may be requested.
the detailed view of the most recent scan may be sorted by SSID or RSSI.
the WiFi interface may be turned on and off with a simple control.
