Father and Son Indie Studio's Wizard Castle iPhone Game Is Now Free - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Asgard Studios today announces that Wizard's Castle 1.1 for iPhone 4/4s, their match and remove game for all ages is now Free to Play. Players match and remove balls by touching groups of two or more balls of the same color, and try to prevent the room from filling up with balls in each three minute round. Highly re-playable, the Game features eight levels and Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Extremely challenging but simple game for players of all ages.

Alpharetta, Georgia - Asgard Studios, a father and son indie game studio, today is pleased to announce that Wizard's Castle 1.1 for iPhone 4/4s, their match and remove game for all ages is now Free to Play. The player enters the castle to find that the friendly Wizard has cast a spell and colored, magic balls are raining down from the ceiling. The goal of the game is to prevent the room from filling up with balls during each three minute round. Players match and remove balls by touching or swiping groups of two or more balls of the same color. While manageable at the lowest levels, the game quickly presents a difficult challenge to both hand-eye coordination and finding a winning strategy. Completing a level unlocks the next. Wizard's Castle features eight levels of play and Game Center leaderboards and achievements.

In addition to locating groups of still and moving balls of the same color and preventing the room from becoming completely filled, in some levels magic gems also drop from the ceiling.

Magic Gems:
* Gems with coins cause the player's score to go up 10,000 points or down 1,000 points
* Gems with lightening bolts remove all of the magic balls that are the same color as the magic gem
* Gems with floating balls cause many extra balls to drop from the ceiling
* Gems with flames are bombs that destroy many nearby magic balls
* Gems with a stone pattern cause stone balls to drop from the ceiling, which can only be removed by the bomb magic gems
* Gems with the infinity symbol slow down time and make the magic balls drop very slowly from the ceiling

Wizard's Castle is highly re-playable because the colored magic balls always fall and bounce differently. Players may earn up to three stars for each level depending on their score, and may replay any level to reach the maximum of three stars. Current Score, High Score, Level, and Time Remaining are continuously displayed at the top of the portrait mode screen. Wizard's Castle has been featured on the Daily App Show, on Apple's iTunes App Store What's Hot for Strategy Games, on Apple's iTunes App Store New and Noteworthy Strategy Games and New and Noteworthy Puzzle Games sections. Asgard Studios's other game, Wizard's Castle HD for the iPad 2 was recently featured on the Daily App Show - Everything Edition and Apple's iTunes App Store New and Noteworthy Strategy Games section for iPad in the U.S. and Australia.

Feature Highlights:
* Extremely challenging but simple game for players of all ages
* Touching groups of two or more balls of the same color removes them
* Prevent the room from filling up with magic balls for a full three minutes to move to the next level
* Magic gems also may fall from the ceiling
* Magic gems can have extraordinary powers that may help or harm players
* Every game is different, as balls fall in a random way from the ceiling
* Retina display support

"Wizard's Castle was created in Unity 3 using C# scripts. My son Raymond designed all of the gameplay and the levels. I did all of the programming, and Jeff Bucchino, a local cartoonist, did the 2D art work," stated developer Randy Herring. "From the time we began work on the project until the day we submitted the iPad 2 game to the App Store was one year almost to the day. In addition to Unity, we made use of several add-ins."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone 4/4s, iPod touch (4th generation)
* iOS 4.2 or later
* 33 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wizard's Castle 1.1 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. Wizard's Castle 1.1 HD for iPad is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available upon request.

One hundred years of innovation brings Olympic timekeeping to the iP

One hundred years of innovation brings Olympic timekeeping to the iPhone - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Electronic timing and photo finish debuted at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics with a system developed by the Swedish inventor Ragnar Carlstedt. However, you do not have to be an Olympic athlete to benefit from electronic timing. The mobile technology of today has enabled these systems to shrink significantly in size and cost, making them available to everyone. sprintTimer packs a complete photo finish system, with start gun detection and slit camera technology, into an iPhone.

Stockholm, Sweden - Electronic timing was used for the first time one hundred years ago at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Initially, the well-known telecom company Ericsson was tasked with developing the technology, but it was the Swedish inventor Ragnar Carlstedt who eventually delivered the final product. Using his expertise in electromechanics, he developed a system where reference clocks automatically started at the firing of the gun.

At the same time, Carlstedt introduced another revolutionary invention; the finish line camera. The 1500 meter Olympic final was excruciatingly close with Arnold Jackson from Great Britain winning by only 0.1 second. But it was impossible to decide on the silver medal since the two Americans Abel Kiviat and Norm Taber finished side by side. For the first time in history, the outcome of an Olympic event had to be settled based on a photo finish when Kiviat was judged to be "slightly ahead".

The significance of these two innovations led a major newspaper to write: "Electronic timing at the Olympic Games. Simultaneous timing and photography of contestants. A brilliant idea!"

The next step in timekeeping was the photo finish camera with a time stamp imprinted on each frame, designed by Omega, which was introduced at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. The 1948 Olympics saw the introduction of another innovation with the continuos slit camera, which is the basis of all timing systems for athletics used today. Four years later the clocks were connected to the slit camera giving a resolution of 1/100 s. But it was not until 1972 that official times were recorded to the 100th of a second.

This summer, at the London Olympics, the systems will be even more more advanced, with finish line cameras that capture several thousand images per second. However, you do not have to be an Olympic athlete to benefit from electronic timing. The mobile technology of today has enabled these systems to shrink significantly in size and cost, making them available to everyone. The app sprintTimer packs, for the first time, a complete photo finish system, with start gun detection and slit camera technology, into an iPhone.

"I feels great to be able to follow the legacy of Ragnar Carlstedt with another Swedish innovation one hundred years later," stated Sten Kaiser, developer of sprintTimer. "The response from athletes and coaches has been tremendous."

Orange Group Apps Launches Free Hawaiian Postcard iPhone App - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile software development firm, Orange Group Apps today introduces Hawaiian Postcard 1.0 for iOS. Hawaiian Postcard allows users to create and send Hawaiian-themed digital postcards to their friends and family. Users can customize their postcards by adding their own photos and choosing from a collage of Hawaiian images. For those vacationing or living in Hawaii, the app provides an instant and postage-free way to send beautiful postcards to their friends and loved ones.

Evansville, Indiana - Mobile software development firm, Orange Group Apps today is excited to announce the release of Hawaiian Postcard 1.0 for iOS. Hawaiian Postcard is the first app of its kind allowing users to create and send Hawaiian-themed digital postcards for free. For those vacationing or living in Hawaii, the app provides an instant and postage-free way to send beautiful postcards to their friends and loved ones.

To create a Hawaiian Postcard, users first choose a Hawaiian Island (Maui, for example). They then select a photo from their camera or Photo Library to place onto the postcard. Hawaiian Postcard then automatically adds beautiful images around the photo, forming a collage.

Images added to the postcard are from the island chosen by the user. Users can change photos by double-tapping. Like a real postcard, users can add a special message to the recipient. The postcards can be sent via e-mail, shared on Facebook, or saved to a user's Photo Library to be viewed or shared later.

Hawaiian Postcard is the third Hawaiian app created by Orange Group Apps. The first was Hawaiian Words, a searchable dictionary with audio pronunciation for hundreds of Hawaiian words, sayings, and common phrases. The second was Hawaiian Names, an app which allows users to find and pronounce their Hawaiian name. Both are available for free on the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later

iPhone App Responds To Parents' Pleads For Help With Kids' Screen Ti

iPhone App Responds To Parents' Pleads For Help With Kids' Screen Time - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Utah based Kabrea Technologies today announces Screen Time - Media Time Manager 1.2, an update to their innovative time tracking application for iOS devices. ScreenTime encourages children to spend less time watching television and more time doing other more productive, healthy activities. Beginning with the ability to add screen minutes manually, users should expect a series of updates which include iCloud support, graphs and reports, weekly allowances, and an iPad version.

Layton, Utah - Screen Time has received great reviews from users and bloggers in its inaugural year and now its developers are releasing much anticipated updates based on feedback from parents. Beginning this week with a top priority feature, parents will now be able to add screen minutes manually. But "there's more to come", Rod Liberal, creator of Screen Time says "I've received hundreds of emails from parents who love the app. They've provided great ideas for improvements and new features to help with maintaining healthy screen time habits for their children."
Screen Time has also received numerous positive reviews from prominent bloggers around the Web:

An app that motivates my kid to clean his room? I am so in." - Cool Mom Tech

"Impressive features that many parents will appreciate I'm sure." - Bibsy @ itsMyi

"Parental management the 21st century way!!! This is an application that we will be using frequently and can help any type of family." - Andrea @ Applicable2U

A sneak peak into upcoming features include iCloud integration, weekly allowance, graphs and reports, and a highly requested iPad version.

Rod Liberal, developer of ScreenTime, says the thinking behind ScreenTime is simple. "Essentially, kids are able to bank their time and trade those minutes for customized rewards. In turn, they learn delayed gratification and long-term savings concepts. Some studies show that children in the United States watch an average of three or four hours of television every day, my own kids included. That's why we created ScreenTime."

ScreenTime allows parents to set up a daily allowance of minutes of screen time for each child. It enables the parents to track when and where each minute is being spent with an easy-to-use, intuitive iPhone application. Kids are also able to "earn" more television and computer time by doing chores, completing school work, helping a sibling, or by any other means determined appropriate by the parent.

"The very best part about the application is it is fully customizable," continued Liberal. The screens, tasks, rewards, and time allowances can all be modified by the parent or guardian to suit the needs of the family."

Liberal's own children's time managing experience helped create the concept behind ScreenTime. The application is centered around a parent or guardian's ability to help children combine all of their daily media interactions into one single system. "ScreenTime is not just a time tracker. It's a tool that gives parents and children consistent and reasonable daily expectations for watching tv and playing video games."

About ScreenTime:
ScreenTime is an innovative new iPhone application that tracks the minutes each child interacts with the television or computer every day. It encourages children to spend less time watching television and more time doing other more productive, healthy activities.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Screen Time - Media Time Manager 1.2 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. For more information, please visit ScreenTime online.

Dmytro Denys introduces Backgammon - Short Narde 1.0 for iPad - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Dmytro Denys today introduces Backgammon - Short Narde 1.0, his new game title for the iPad. Now you can play Backgammon matches anywhere with your friends and you don't have to carry heavy game board with you. You can use this app to play against another person on the same device. Beautiful graphics and animation please the eye. The well designed guide helps you learn the game. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.

Luhansk, Ukraine - Backgammon is one of the funniest and oldest games in a convenient format. You can play matches anywhere with your friends and you don't have to carry heavy game board with you. Now the full version is available for your device. You can use this app to play against another person on the same device. Beautiful graphics and animation please the eye. The well designed guide helps you learn the game.

Backgammon is one of the oldest board games for two players. The playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice, and players win by removing all of their pieces from the board. There are many variants of backgammon, most of which share common traits. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.

Although luck is involved and factors into the outcome, strategy plays a more important role in the long run.With each roll of the dice, players must choose from numerous options for moving their checkers and anticipate possible counter-moves by the opponent. Players may raise the stakes during the game. There is an established repertoire of common tactics and occurrences.

Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, draughts, stones, men, counters, pawns, or chips.

The objective is to remove (bear off) all of one's own checkers from the board before one's opponent can do the same. The checkers are scattered at first and may be blocked or hit by the opponent. As the playing time for each individual game is short, it is often played in matches, where victory is awarded to the first player to reach a certain number of points.

Babelshot 1.3 for iOS - Translate Printed Text Simply by Taking a Ph

Babelshot 1.3 for iOS - Translate Printed Text Simply by Taking a Photo - Published on 06/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Codium Labs today announces Babelshot 1.3 for iOS, a major update to their travel app that allows users to take a photo of printed text in any of 36 languages and quickly get a translation into any of the 47 other languages. Featuring offline optical character recognition, the app employs the Google Translate web service in its back end. The upgrade includes support for non-Latin character sets, and high accuracy OCR via improved, high-resolution cameras and faster processors in iOS devices.

Redmond, Washington - Codium Labs today announces Babelshot 1.3 for iOS, a major update to their travel app that allows users to take a photo of printed text in any of 36 languages and quickly get a translation into any of the 47 other languages. Featuring offline optical character recognition, the app employs the Google Translate web service in its back end. The upgrade includes support for non-Latin character sets, such as Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and Korean, and very high accuracy OCR, achieved by support for improved, high-resolution cameras and faster processors in iOS devices.

When introduced in 2009, Babelshot 1.0 was the first app of its kind, and the first app ever implementing OCR on any mobile platform. Since that time, the app has steadily evolved, and now with improved hardware comes a major upgrade to the app that provides a significant jump in performance.

Optical character recognition is a daunting challenge, even under the best of conditions, as with 300 dpi scanned text and a personal computer. Now with Babelshot, users can expect comparable results by virtue of 5 megapixel, built-in cameras, and dual core processors. The app's text recognition function relies on Tesseract OCR, highly regarded software originally developed by HP, coupled with a custom image-processing engine.

Feature Highlights:
* Take a picture of printed text and get a translation moments later
* Achieve high quality translations using advanced software, high-speed processors, and high-resolution cameras
* Very high accuracy Optical Character Recognition via the built-in Tesseract OCR software
* Manually input text using the virtual keyboard or an external keyboard
* Translate text using the camera or manual input, and then save it to the app's built-in Archive

Unlike other apps of its kind, Babelshot does text recognition on the device itself, never needing to send photos over a cellular network, saving expensive user bandwidth while abroad. Also, it translates text in sentences, not individual words, producing translations that are more natural and coherent. Ideal for automatically translating menus, booklets, product manuals, or foreign newspapers without any typing, the upgraded Babelshot 1.3 is a must-have app for anyone who does translation of text on an iDevice. Babelshot was the top pick by O'Reilly Media as Best App for Translating Printed Text (Nov 13, 2009).

"The kind of AI required for OCR is computationally intensive, and this updated version of Babelshot is much faster, optimized for the new dual-core processors," commented Olga Shynkevich of Codium Labs. "In addition, the app can now achieve greater accuracy by analyzing high resolution images with more than a million pixels."

Device Requirements:
* iOS device with autofocus and high-resolution camera
* Compatible with iPhone 3GS/4/4S, and the New iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* Internet connection required for the translation function
* 27.3 MB

Language Support:
* U.S. English, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese

Pricing and Availability:
Babelshot - Photo Translator 1.3 for iOS is on sale now at $2.99 (USD) for one week only and will return to the normal price of $4.99 thereafter. The app is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Travel category. Review copies are available on request.
