Biggy Orbs 1.0 for iOS: Strategize Placement of Falling Spheres with R/C - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dejan Petrovski today introduces Biggy Orbs 1.0 for iOS, a form of the popular match-three game concept. The game consists of a single player mode usable on any iDevice, as well as a local multiplayer mode where 1-4 players use their iPhone or iPod touch as game controllers to play the game on iPad's brilliant display. Players group three or more identical orbs as they fall down. Once aligned, the orbs disappear. The object of the game is to continue in this fashion for as long as possible.

Skopje, Macedonia - Skopje, Macedonia - Indie developer Dejan Petrovski today is pleased to introduce Biggy Orbs 1.0 for iOS, an alternate form of the popular match-three game concept that incorporates Remote Control. The game consists of a single player mode (with or without Remote Control) usable on any iDevice, as well as a local multiplayer mode where up to four players use their iPhone or iPod touch as game controllers to play the game on iPad's brilliant display. Players attempt to group three or more similarly colored orbs as they fall from the top of the screen. Once aligned with at least two other identical spheres, the orbs all disappear. The object of the game is to continue in this fashion for as long as possible, without filling up the arena to the top with spheres.

Feature Highlights:
* Single or Multi-player mode
* Play with 1-4 players using iPad as console and other devices as controllers
* Engaging, brightly colored spheres
* Variety of colored orbs, faces, and designs
* Running score tally
* Pause and resume game
* Refreshing and addictive puzzle challenge

The object of the game is to continue playing for as long as possible. As orbs fall from the top of the screen, the player must continuously strategize the best location for each orb. Users can control the placement of the orbs by a simple touch of the screen. Tapping the right side will draw the falling sphere to the right, while a simple touch to the left pillar will bring it leftward. The player must attempt to drop orbs where other spheres of similar color or design reside. When three or more identical orbs are touching, they will disappear, freeing up space in the arena. If the playing arena becomes so full that there is no room for more orbs to fall, the game is over.

As the player rises to the challenge of Biggy Orbs, the variations on the orbs increase. While the players begin with only differently colored spheres, orbs with expressive faces appear as time goes on. Again, these orbs will only disappear when matched with exactly identical spheres. Soon, new patterned orbs will join the rest, making higher levels of play entertaining and extremely challenging. Player's only aid at these levels is the Black Ball - a power-up that sweeps entire row or column with orbs.

A running score tally on the bottom of the screen allows the single player to know how far he or she has come. A pause button in the upper right hand corner of the app allows the user to pause his or her game mid-play and resume it later without losing any time. The iPad console version of the game features a larger screen displaying the arena as the players take turns determining the placement of the oncoming orbs. A handy "Go!" sign on their controllers tells players when it is their turn; they tap the screens of their smaller devices on the right or left to get the orb to move as it falls. Each player's score is displayed on the left side of the larger screen throughout.

While simple to understand and operate, with its easy instructions and intuitive controls, Biggy Orbs is not lacking in challenge. Players will find themselves thinking on their feet as they attempt to strategize in the little time before the orb falls to its place. The app encourages this quick thinking and strategizing while its colors and joyful faces make it engaging and genuinely enjoyable to play.

"Biggy Orbs 1.0 is an addictive and fun new game that does not hesitate to challenge the player," states developer Dejan Petrovski.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 3.6 MB - iPhone
* 3.2 MB - iPad

Pricing and Availability:

Zip Through Ideal Gas Law Calculations Graphically - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Best Ideal Gas Law Calculator has been updated on the iPhone App Store by Radius Development, LLC. The app features a multifunction calculation panel that streamlines ideal gas law calculations with graphical controls for values, units, and dependent variable selection. This app gives users an intuitive feel for the ideal gas equation and allows for quick and precise solutions as well as perturbation analysis. It's great for students, scientists, and experimenters.

McLean, Virginia - Radius Development is pleased to announce the availability of Best Ideal Gas Law Calculator 1.2 on the iPhone App Store. This convenient app enables solving the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, for any of the four independent variables - Pressure, Volume, Temperature, and Number of Moles of gas.

The process is to select one of the four variables to be the dependent (or 'unlocked') variable, then adjust the values of the other variables to solve for the dependent one. The units of any of the variables can also be changed.

As changes are made to the units or sliders, the dependent variable value updates continuously providing instant feedback and showing the overall effects of the changes. The effect of perturbations can be seen easily which gives an intuitive feeling for how the equation works.

The ideal gas law takes the form of PV = nRT, where P is pressure, T is temperature, n is the number of moles of gas, T is temperature, and R is a constant whose values and units depend on the units chosen for P, V, and T. Simpler forms of the ideal gas law, such as Boyles Law, assume some of the variables are held constant.

Applications of the ideal gas law are prevalent in scientific experiments, activities such as SCUBA diving, air travel, ballooning, and many others. The law is called 'ideal' because it assumes the molecules of the gas behave like infinitely small particles - it is an approximation that is applicable in many cases for many types of gasses.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 0.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Best Ideal Gas Law Calculator 1.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Innovative Learning Guide for Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vertical Learning Labs is proud to announce its innovative and in-depth learning guide for its first educational math game, Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value. This learning guide is designed to help parents and teachers guide children through the discovery process as they explore, develop, apply, and discuss place value concepts together. The guide features background on educational theory, detailed learning progressions, extension activities, and relevant common core math standards.

Acton, Massachusetts - Vertical Learning Labs is proud to announce its innovative and in-depth learning guide for its first educational math game, Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value. This learning guide is designed to help parents and teachers guide children through the discovery process as they explore, develop, apply, and discuss place value concepts together. Available online, the learning guide features:

* Background educational theory on constructivism and vertical learning
* Detailed learning progressions for learning multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
* Extension activities using hundreds charts, pattern blocks, visual representations, and place value columns
* Blackline masters
* Parallels between game strategies and standard paper-and-pencil algorithms
* A list of the common core math standards addressed

Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value, available on the App Store for Apple's revolutionary iPad device, immerses children in a world of cookies, stacks, boxes, cartons, crates, pallets, and trucks as they work to fulfill and deliver increasingly complex cookie orders. While it can be simply a fun game that engages children and gets them to practice their math facts, Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value can also help kids explore, develop, and apply place value concepts... building a foundation for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing multi-digit numbers later in the classroom.

The game includes a practice mode where an adult and a child (or two children on their own) can sit down to share, discuss, and experiment with new strategies together. This practice mode turns off the game's clock and gives the player unlimited time to solve the problems and clear a round. Because parents are often uncertain about how much guidance to give a child during the discovery process, the learning guide lays out simple, scaffolded learning progressions that parents and teachers can use to guide a child toward conceptual understanding without telling the child what to do and depriving him or her of a rich learning experience. The extension activities enable teachers to integrate the game into classroom instruction.

While hands-on discovery is crucial in the learning process, so is building and testing theories and practicing other metacognitive skills. This learning guide is the first in a series of products from Vertical Learning Labs based on the principles of vertical learning that is designed to transform education and enable children to become active learners and to build powerful schemas for understanding and navigating the world around them.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 4.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Download Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory: Place Value 1.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

In business since 1997, MacHighway's inception predated Mac's original .Mac (later evolving into MobileMe), and has become the largest Mac specific web hosting company since MobileMe ceased in July 2012.
