Ultimate Fenix v0.1 (GP2x misc)

Ultimate Fenix is an interpreter to play games coded using that programming language.

Until now there was only the Fenix GP2X ported by Puck2099. The difference between that and this one is basically the Fenix version in which it’s based. Ultimate Fenix make use of Fenix’ engine 0.92a, but the “old” Fenix uses 0.84.

All efforts will be put into this “new” engine. Old Fenix games might need minor rewrites to get compiled.

Taskbar Notifier v0.2 (Alpha) (iPhone Application)

This iPhone application adds a small envelope icon in the taskbar when you have an unread SMS message. It is useful for reminding you from anywhere within the iPhone user interface that you have an unread message, even if you have previously pressed the “Ignore” button. This includes the lock screen.

After the initial blue popup when a message is received, the only place in the UI in which you are reminded of an unread message is the home screen, which as we all know is not where you spend the majority of your time!

Sandscape (NDS misc)

NeXFerret has released “Another World of Sand clone”…

It’s nowhere near finished… but at a pretty good state. It runs at 56-60FPS solidly, no matter what you plonk onscreen. At the moment, everything acts like sand of different densities. Have a go, and provide some feedback, please!
