Had to change something today. I have finally graduated from school and now have some extra time....so, I read the Illiad by Homer. It was one of those things that you think to yourself that you want to do and it will make you a better read person. So I did it and well it was pretty good I must say. 

You get the whole of the gods and men from Achillies to Zeus and everyone in between. As I discovered, the Illiad is considered the oldest Greek myth dating back to 1,000 years before Christ. I am not sure how this will help me develop a new iPhone game, but I will let you know when I come up with something.

Anyway I changed around the Blog...I like it, at least it is a change anyway.

That's all for now...

See ya next time.

Today I submitted my 4th app to the iTunes store. This one is called US Presidents and it is a 25 question rapid fire game. It has 8 achievements you can earn and a High Scores screen. By the time you master this game you will be able to recognize all of the 44 presidents of the United States.

Not bad.

Let's see how long it takes for Apple to approve it.

C Ya Next time.

Gary

Yup!!!! Apple approved app #3 of mine today!!!! It is my first foray into the OpenGL environment.

Great Wall

Check it out and let me know what you think!!!

1st off I have completed my first Open GL app for the iPhone. It is called Great Wall and is a breakout style game with pictures that depict the Great Wall of China in the background. I submitted it to Apple this morning. It is really not bad and constitutes my first foray into the OpenGL world.

Second, I got some major help with the website as it was looking fairly incomplete. So it underwent a total overhaul and I think it turned out rather well.

Anyway lots of developments in a short span of time.

I will let you know how they turn out.

Ok, I have my second app on the iTunes App Store, ABC Soup aka Alphabet Soup hit the market today. WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!

I have more ideas for other apps as well. Let the creative juices flow.

Gary

Hey I have finished with my second app under my name. This one is called Alphabet Soup and will help youngesters with the English alphabet. I have just submitted it today so let's see how long it takes Apple to approve it.

Later 4 now!!!

Ok, I had not expected this, but Ramussen College has included my iPhone app, US States and Capitals in their article, "100 Apps for Tech-Savvy Teachers". It is #42 on the iPhone Apps for Teachers section.

Check out the article!!!!

Rock on!!!

Gary

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, I am still alive and kicking and as soon the death grip of school has been lessened I shall be back!!!

Ok, Apple has just approved my next version os the US States and Capitals game. This version contains high scores. You can save up to 10 high scores per each level. This was one of the good suggestions submitted as feedback.  

Here is the link:

...and as always let me know what you think.

Now back to work on my other projects.

Until next time.

Gary

Ok, after doubling up on my courses in college I am now through that portion YAY!!!!!

...andI am back to coding. I have released 1.0.4 for US States and Capitals today, which was a combination of bug fixes and verification of the new iPhone 3.0 compliance.

I am fast at work on version 1.0.5.

I will be including the ability to have high scores in the 1.0.5 version.

I am thinking of a top 5 or top 10 scoreboard...

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Gary
