Life and works of Leonardo Da Vinci 1.0 released for the iPad - Published on 01/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile Creators today introduces Life and works of Leonardo Da Vinci 1.0 for the iPad, an app that lets you to see Leonardo Da Vinci's works in context of the events of his life. Leonardo Da Vinci was one of those geniuses and a product of his times. Life and works of Leonardo Da Vinci puts Leonardo's works on a timeline of his life, then position them in context and aid in better understanding of his genius.

Astana, Kazakhstan - You have, probably, heard of The Renaissance, seen Mona Lisa and a few other paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci. So have we, together with seeing a few documentaries and reading a couple of books. But something was missing, we could not "feel" the times he was living in, could not grasp the atmosphere in which Leonardo was creating his famous works. Without deeper knowledge, they remained just "pretty pictures" devoid of meaning and essence.

People are born into an existing environment and that environment and events of their life shape them and make them what they are. The Renaissance was a period of upheaval in arts and sciences that is famous for geniuses who transcended the existing thinking. Leonardo Da Vinci was one of those geniuses and a product of his times. We thought that putting Leonardo's works on a timeline of his life, would position then in context and aid in better understanding of his genius.

This is, by no means, a complete collection of Leonardo's works, neither is it a comprehensive study of his life but, it is a step towards a better understanding of Da Vinci's genius and it worked for us. We hope it works for you too.

Blocks Hurt! 1.0 for iOS - Drop, Explode, Aim, Match, and Stack Bloc

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Blocks Hurt! 1.0 for iOS - Drop, Explode, Aim, Match, and Stack Blocks - Published on 01/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Luca Giusti today introduces Blocks Hurt! 1.0 for iOS, his Game that defies normal expectations about using blocks in gameplay. Combining elements from falling block, tower defense, and color matching arcade games, Blocks Hurt! lets players use blocks in multiple ways, for building or destroying. There are 90 battles with four goals each: Collect Blocks, Build the Wall, Survive Time, and Kill the Boss. Players must prevent monsters from crossing the screen through all levels.

Pistoia, Italy - Indie developer Luca Giusti today is pleased to introduce Blocks Hurt! 1.0 for iOS, his new action/puzzle Game that defies normal expectations about using blocks in gameplay. Combining elements from falling block, tower defense, and color matching arcade games, Blocks Hurt! lets players use blocks in multiple ways, for building or destroying. There are 90 battles with four goals each: Collect Blocks, Build the Wall, Survive Time, and Kill the Boss. Played in landscape orientation, players must prevent monsters from crossing from the far right to the far left of the screen. Any monster successfully reaching the left edge of the screen defeats the player and the battle ends.

Blocks Hurt! is always aware of its roots, and can be seen as a satire of many popular games. Its monsters go over the top in their evilness, whether they are a fruit, vegetable, straw man, or malevolent dictator. Monsters morph during gameplay, turning red as they get angrier and translucent when they return as ghosts. Ghoulish cries are heard as they advance, and a narrator occasionally comments in a deep voice "Hurry up," or "You lose."

There are three different battle locales: Windy Plains (gently rolling hills populated by Dutch windmills), Empty Desert (sand-filled expanse in the Middle East hosting caravans of camels and some nasty scorpions), and Mushrooms Vale (a wonderland of multi-colored fungi). There are 30 battles in each of the three locations, and each is scored individually.

There are four goals to each battle, and besides accomplishing the goals of that level, the player must prevent any monsters from successfully exiting on the left side of the screen. In the Collect Blocks part of each level players are given a task, e.g., 4 red blocks and 4 blue blocks, and must color match and stack blocks. This is not easy. A conveyor belt of blocks at the top of the screen is constantly bringing in new blocks, and touching any block causes it to fall. However, a horizontal or vertical stack of four matching blocks can have no gaps. Since many blocks do not perfectly align after being dropped, they must be removed (they explode on being touched) and replaced. Of course, as the player is attempting to create an orderly stack of blue blocks, demonic jack-o-lanterns are hopping across the screen, creating havoc.

During the Build the Wall goal players are given an outline of a wall of blocks that they must fill, and well-placed blocks display a rotating star. Care must be taken not to create a four-block color match, because that causes the blocks to disappear. Again, monsters are attempting to crash through the wall and reach the other side of the screen, so players must play defense and offense simultaneously, aiming blocks to build the wall or kill a monster.

Feature Highlights:
* 3 Fanciful scenarios
* 90 Challenging battles
* 4 Different kind of battle
* 5 Huge bosses to defeat
* Many destructive powers & special blocks
* Amusing high quality soundtrack
* 36 Game Center Achievements
* Optimized for older devices

Survive Time is pure defense as a timer counts down the seconds during a protracted and massive monster attack. Finally, the Kill the Boss goal requires skill and ingenuity to plan attacks that will be successful against giant-size monsters. During gameplay, the player does have access to special abilities and weapons, requiring Monster Juice, which is accumulated on his Juice Bar at the bottom of the screen. Powers include: electrocute, freeze, disintegrate, and slow down the enemy. A post-modern, action-puzzle, arcade-iDevice, matching-destroying, game filled with humor and the sounds of fruits and vegetables dropped from great heights, Blocks Hurt! is challenging, entertaining, and filled with surprises.

"Blocks Hurt! includes some very innovative game mechanics," stated Game Artisan Luca Giusti. "You must stack and match blocks while annoying creatures struggle to thwart your efforts. Blocks Hurt! gameplay requires the player to balance their efforts between puzzle solving and fast-paced smashing action."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 78.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Blocks Hurt! 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

PuzzlePlus: Art 1.0 Free for iPad - Jigsaw Puzzles of Art Masterpiec

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

PuzzlePlus: Art 1.0 Free for iPad - Jigsaw Puzzles of Art Masterpieces - Published on 01/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rhyboo today introduces PuzzlePlus: Art 1.0 free for iPad, their new jigsaw puzzle Game that features eight different levels of complexity for each picture. This introductory version features 11 famous paintings by Van Gogh, Bruegel, and Beuckelaer with additional works to be added. The app's HD graphics and zoom capabilities allow puzzle masters to assemble puzzles of 42 - 572 pieces, depending on the level chosen. Also included are an integrated music player and optional piece rotation.

Obninsk, Russian Federation - Rhyboo today is pleased to introduce PuzzlePlus: Art 1.0 free for iPad, their new jigsaw puzzle Game that features eight different levels of complexity for each picture. This free introductory version features 11 famous paintings by Van Gogh, Bruegel, and Beuckelaer with additional works to be added. The app's HD graphics and zoom capabilities allow puzzle masters to assemble puzzles of 42 - 572 pieces, depending on the level chosen. Also included are an integrated music player and optional piece rotation. Among the most difficult and sophisticated jigsaw puzzle games on the App Store, puzzle fans will soon discover the pleasures in store for them doing puzzles in PuzzlePlus: Art.

Like most iOS jigsaw puzzle games, this one, played in landscape orientation, employs a vertically scrolling tray that holds all the pieces of the puzzle. As a piece is dragged from the tray on to the white tabletop, it expands to its full size. This allows the user to browse through many individual pieces easily, since they do not assume their final size until dragged on to the board. At its most advanced level, where pictures are 26 pieces wide and 22 pieces high (572 total pieces), pieces dragged from the tray do not expand at all; they are already scaled correctly.

Many jigsaw puzzle games provide a view of the finished puzzle as a reference, but PuzzlePlus: Art eschews this possibility that would have the effect of reducing the challenge presented by the puzzle. Players will soon find that assembling oil paintings is more difficult than photos, simply because every part of a painting is more imaginative and less predictable than most photographic scenes. Puzzle champions can engage the "Rotate Piece" option, which allows pieces to be dragged from the tray oriented incorrectly. Each time the player double taps a piece, it rotates 90 degrees, thus the option effectively multiplies the complexity of each puzzle by a factor of four.

Feature Highlights:
* Constantly updated picture gallery
* 8 levels of complexity: 7x6 (42 pieces), 10x8 (80 pieces), 14x11 (154), 17x14 (238), 18x14 (252), 22x17 (274), 26x20 (520), 26x22 (572) - available for any puzzle
* Zoom in/out function
* Easy-to-operate control
* Move parts in groups
* Easy preview
* Rotate pieces to fit in to the right place
* Integrated iPod function

The reproduction of these masterworks is excellent, and the ability to zoom in and out facilitates the appreciation of subtle details of line and color. The touch interface performs perfectly, and dragging any piece creates a subtle shadow around it, as if it were being lifted and moved. Pieces that have been correctly assembled can be moved as a single unit, and pieces can be returned to the tray at any time until they are needed. Another feature that sets PuzzlePlus: Art apart from similar apps is that it is possible to cover one piece with another, simulating the confusion of apparently missing pieces, so common in doing actual jigsaw puzzles. For entertainment, laughter, accomplishment, and puzzlement have a friend over on a Saturday night to work on the 26x22, rotating pieces puzzle of Vincent van Gogh's classic Starry Night.

Paintings Included:
* Vincent van Gogh - The Night Cafe
* Vincent van Gogh - A Memory of the Garden at Etten
* Vincent van Gogh - The Cafe la Nuit
* Vincent van Gogh - Portrait of Dr. Gachet
* Vincent van Gogh - van Gogh Bedroom
* Vincent van Gogh - Starry Night
* Pieter Bruegel - The Dutch Proverbs
* Pieter Bruegel - Children's Games
* Joachim Beuckelaer - The Four Elements: Fire
* Joachim Beuckelaer - The Four Elements: Water
* Joachim Beuckelaer - The Four Elements: Earth
* Joachim Beuckelaer - The Four Elements: Air

"Puzzle Plus is the best jigsaw application available on the app store at the moment," asserted Andrey Ivanushkin of Rhyboo. "It fully simulates real puzzles and at same time the app uses all advantages of iPad to make the playing of your favorite game as convenient as possible."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 89.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PuzzlePlus: Art 1.0 is free (ad-supported) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Ads can be removed through an in-app purchase.

New App Analyzes Signatures on the Spot

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Mon Jan 23, 2012 3:02 am (PST)



New App Analyzes Signatures on the Spot - Published on 01/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ultimate Chemistry is pleased to annnounce X Sign Here, an app for iOS devices which analyzes a person's signature on the spot revealing behavior and personality traits. Users just write their signature using a finger or stylus on an iPhone or iPad, then answer a few questions and hit submit. The personality profile will be presented on the results page with the signer's strengths, weaknesses, and behavior traits. The X Sign Here App can reveal 275 personality possibilities.

Orlando, Florida - A new iPhone app called X Sign Here analyzes a person's signature on the spot revealing behavior and personality traits. Users just write their signature using a finger or stylus on an iPhone or iPad then answer a few questions and hit "submit." The personality profile will be presented on the results page with the signer's strengths, weaknesses, and behavior traits.

"Handwriting analysis can play a useful role in getting to know a few close and otherwise concealed details of someone's personality," says Christine Summers, who developed X Sign Here. "Our handwriting represents us, and our signature represents us best. Our signature is our trademark, personal logo and it reflects the personality that we portray to the public. It is our personal portrait. We practice and perfect our signature more than any other element of writing."

Uses included asking potential dates to place their signatures on X Sign Here to decide whether to pursue a relationship any further. It could also be used it to determine the trustworthiness of a person they don't know well. "Many use it in the bar over drinks as a conversation starter," Says Summers. "The main use of the app is to have fun!"

The X Sign Here App can reveal 275 personality possibilities and will evaluate a signature within 120 seconds after the signee answers 10 simple questions such as how the signature is written in relation to: space used, size, direction of the stroke, loops and circles, and the signature's finishing's.

Sample questions asked by this ingenious App are:

Define your signature style:
* all cursive,
* a fusion of print and cursive
* all print

Which explains the way your signature slants?
* with the top incline to the left
* everything straight up and down
* incline to the right side

How do you finish your signature? Do you enhance it with anything or jazz it up?
* nothing, plain and simple
* one underline
* multiple lines under it

After downloading the App for 99 cents from the Apple iTunes Store, the user merely hands the iPhone or iPad over to a friend or relative who writes their signature using a finger or stylus. That person then answers a few questions and hits the "submit" button and the personality/behavior profile is waiting on the results page.

Profiles can be stored on the App, with the signature's owner being able to choose whether the results can be shared publicly, viewed only by the App's owner, or instantly deleted.

Just for fun, the X Sign Here's history comes with built-in signatures of the famous, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Walt Disney, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ever wonder what is going on inside the head of Minnie Mouse? This app even analyzed Minnie's signature as well!

Information about the X Sign Here App is available at their web site. The app is available directly from the iTunes App Store. For an interview with Christine Summers or to obtain a free reviewer's code for X Sign Here contact Scott Lorenz of Westwind iPhone App Publicity.

Revere, Massachusetts - Independent developer James Hollender's Life Inventory app has achieved a rating of 5 Stars. Using an iPhone or iPod touch, users can learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible, and only at a small fraction the cost of a single office visit to a therapist. Life Inventory is the new name for the Step 4 Moral Inventory Jr app. Originally designed for 12-steppers it was discovered the inventory would also be of benefit to anyone, which is why the name change.

Here's what users are saying about Life Inventory*:

1. This app is amazing! - "This app is a must have for anyone looking to do a thorough moral inventory of yourself that helps summarize your thoughts, events, emotions, and actions of your life. With writing, honesty, support and prayer, this app will help you locate and find what triggers your behaviors. With well written instructions and easy to follow step by step sections, this app truly is an eye opener to my life and is definitely worth the download. The amount I saved on this app verses a therapy session makes it even more worth it. I have only scratched the surface, but can already tell this app is going to help me a ton."

2. Awesome, Thank You! - "Are you in a 12 step program or looking for help to address a specific addiction or just looking to analyze your life to learn more about yourself? If so, this app is for you. Loaded with specific questions to help you find out why you may have struggled in areas and offers you alternative choices that you could do instead. This app is loaded with info and is super easy to use. I have seen other assessments/programs like this for a ton more money. I have benefited more from this app than my other programs and recommend you give this app a full, honest try. It has invaluable info that could help save your life or help you make better decisions in your life."

3. Great App, Great Price! - "I have to admit - I was a little skeptical when deciding to buy this app. It is not often that I spend $9.99 on an iPhone app, but I can honestly say it is worth every cent. After talking to people I know who have gone to therapy and counseling classes I've come to find out that this app is highly comparable in the questions that are being asked and also provides a huge cost savings. This app is a great alternative to those individuals who may not be able to afford therapy classes. Life Inventory is truly an awesome app and does what it says it can do. I highly recommend this app to anyone who has a lot going on in their life and needs to take time to Stop, Review, and Analyze why they are feeling the way they are and why they do the things they do. Great app all around!"

4. Great for keeping accountability - "This app is truly helpful in shedding light on what is positively and negatively impacting your life. It can also show you why situations turned out a certain way. In every aspect of your life it can help you analyze where you are at and plan effectively to move on."

5. Highly Recommended - "Life can get us to points where we do not know where to turn or how to fix our situations, ultimately needing guidance or help. If you are someone who is looking to improve your life and want to diagnose some potential problem areas that need work, if so, then I would recommend you try this app. It asks you specific questions and offers you valuable insight and answers based on the information you enter. The $9.99 is just an investment into your future which I promise you will be one of the best investments you have made in a while! It certainly worked for me and gave me a new outlook and caused me to re-prioritize some key areas in my life. Try it out!"

* In the spirit of confidentiality and anonymity, the names of reviewers has not been revealed.

Note: The terms "Life Inventory" and "Moral Inventory" are interchangeable.

Life Inventories Can Help Anyone:
Although originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. Examine your reactions to:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
* Fears
* Sex Relations

Background:
The Life Inventory app was created because of the complexity and length of time needed to complete a proper Moral Inventory. When persons working their way through a 12-step program start creating their own moral inventory and discover that some ways of doing a Moral Inventory might require a thousand spreadsheets, the task seems daunting and many never get around to finishing it, thus depriving themselves of the rewards a completed Moral Inventory can provide. This app is an attempt at finding a way to make the task less time consuming, while at the same time helping the user create a valuable asset in their recovery process.

Storage of the Life Inventory data is done using an underlying database which can be backed up and restored as necessary.

Disclaimer - This app is neither officially produced nor approved by Alcoholics Anonymous or any other Addiction Recovery program. From what is known there have been many Moral Inventory spreadsheets circulating unofficially among AA members for at least 50 years in various versions and this app is based on one the developer found to be useful and more comprehensive than most.

Anyone, Not Just 12-Steppers, Can Benefit from Completing a Life Inventory:

The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address addictions specifically, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself? (always present)
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Sometimes the questions are difficult to answer, but once done, they help provide significant insight into why certain choices were made and, more importantly, determining there are often alternative choices available which will make life so much better in the future.

Bruji releases Gamepedia version 5.0.2

Bruji releases Gamepedia version 5.0.2 - Published on 01/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Barcelona based developer, Bruji today announces Gamepedia 5.0.2, an update to their popular game cataloging application for Mac OS X. Gamepedia can catalog both video games and boardgames, providing access to several different international search sites for users to build their databases. Along with UI improvements and smaller bug fixes version 5.0.2 also includes updates to the sorting feature. This is a free update for all owners of Gamepedia 5.0.

Barcelona, Spain - Bruji today is pleased to announce version 5.0.2 of Gamepedia, their popular game cataloging application for the Mac. Gamepedia allows users to catalog both video games and boardgames, offering access to international search sites for keyword and barcode searches. Users can set up smart collections and folders to organize their games efficiently and also add links to entries, for example for screenshots, walkthroughs or game instructions. Gamepedia offers several different export options, including customizable HTML, and a statistics display for a useful overview of the database.

Version 5.0.2 includes several improvements to UI features, especially column sorting which has been updated to ignore suffixes such as "Jr.". Columns also re-sort themselves automatically now when an entry has been edited in a way that would affect the sorting. If the search for a game fails, the search text is now automatically placed into the clipboard for easy copy/pasting into the "Add manually" window afterwards. Changing between collections in the source column leaves the item view (list or grid view) selected for easier and faster use of keyboard shortcuts on entries.

For the HTML print templates, which are fully customizable by the user, Bruji has added a class named "pageBreak" for CSS styling, using the automatic page break feature. This lets users add, for example, page numbers with the CSS counter property when printing a collection over several pages.

Gamepedia is available on Bruji's web store as well as the Mac App Store. This is a free update for all owners of Gamepedia 5.0. Version 5.0.2 requires Intel and Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. Visit the Bruji website for a free and fully functional demo version of Gamepedia (25 entry limit).

This opens up a host of possibilities for prepress operators, developers and graphic designers alike to build custom workflows involving scanning.

In addition fScanX includes a command-line utility for complete scripted control of scanning functions--because it does not require the application to launch in order to perform scanning, it gives developers the ability to control the user interface completely. This enables a host of alternative automation options. It takes only three lines of script code in FileMaker to scan a document, with similar setups available in 4D. And it's just as easy to scan from AppleScript, shell scripts, Ruby, Python, and more.
