Hey guys,
I am looking for programmers with experience on the DS. It doesn’t necessarily have to be professional experience but you need to be able to program competently on the system. This is a full-time paid position working on a AAA DS title at a Toronto based company. If you have any interest please reply to this thread or email me personally at gamescout@live.ca and I will fill you in with more information.

iMapIdle is an iPhone application that simulates “Push Email” with your IMAP server. It’s in its early stages but the current features are:

– listens in the background waiting for new IMAP mail even if you are in sleep/standby mode
– notifies you via a popup and/or sound. You choose how to be notified. Sound notification should use the same method your mail client uses (ie: if you have vibrate on, it’ll vibrate as well)
– popup notification allows you to choose whether the mail client should check for email right there by forcing the mail client to check the server (it doesn’t launch the mail client but just forces it to check the server). NOTE: Don’t choose this if you are in the mail client as it will exit (you’ve been warned). The popup will disappear after 20 seconds and if you miss it the iMapIdle icon will show you how many popup notifications you have missed
– supports SSL connections and special support for GMail IMAP

MNPlight aims at getting rid of the need for a computer with iTunes. It runs on your iPhone, and is able to modify the iPhone calendar, address book and iPod databases.

MNPlight can be of particular interest for Linux users who don’t have iTunes, but it can also be used by other users when they want to update their iPhone data when they are away from their iTunes computer.

If you keep using iTunes, you may experiment problems with the Calendar and the Address Book since modifications done on your iPhone won’t be seen by iTunes.

Changes:

* Playlists: bug when On-The-Go never edited fixed
* Calendar: bug where imported events are not editable fixed

iPhysics is a physics engine for iPhone, which slowly turns out to develop into a game.

Release notes:

Well, this one was a big one… I rewrote all the graphics code and cut out SDL, which was more than doubling the app size… Now the graphics can be improved with a little more ease (and right now look a little better).

But more interestingly: Now we have a main menu, where all games will be listed, and right now there is a new mode, the Sandbox, where you will be able to play with all options of the game (just accelerometer use and gravity right now).

And there is the user level created by Rawd at the end of the previous 3 levels (sorry, no more levels in this version, but things are way better now…)

The drawing lines are working again, and looking good. No double tap delete yet, but in the next version it REALLY will be in…

And the shake to erase has been softened, try not to hiccup while playing…

A note for level makers: I rotated the images, so if you have a user level you will need to rotate your image CCW by 90 degrees. There is also some more control in the level packs, take a look at the files…

This is a program designed to let you create your own drill sets for marching bands. If you don’t know, the drill is the movement of the band on the field. This program allows you to add an “X” wherever you want a band member to be for that set, just the way drill sheets look.
