Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - Seven artisanal software developers and ebook publishers have joined together for a SummerFest of opinionated, hand-crafted software for writers, designers, and thinkers.

SummerFest assembles many of the best and most interesting tools for writing and research available today.

In this interactive children's book kids take part in an adventure where Hanna & Henri goes to Hanna's aunt to build a robot. Along the way they get to do educational things like sorting fruit and to choose correct colors. Version 2.5 introduces English voice narration, new font and loading screen, as well as minor graphical improvements and more.

Malmo, Sweden - Tales & Dice today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Hanna & Henri - The Robot 2.0, an update to their interactive children's app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. In this interactive children's book kids take part in an adventure where Hanna & Henri goes to Hanna's aunt to build a robot.

CPPlay 1.1 for OS X - Playground Like Features for C and C++ Developers - Published on 06/11/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brighton-based development house, YAWMOO Limited today announces the release and immediate availability of CPPlay 1.1, an important update to its C and C++ interpreted environment for OS X Yosemite. CPPlay allows developers to enter code and immediately see the results, much like Apple's Swift Playground feature in Xcode. Forget edit/compile/link/run cycles. Just edit the code and then press the Run button. CPPlay was designed with learning and creative coding in mind.

Brighton, United Kingdom - YAWMOO Limited today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of CPPlay 1.1, an important update to its C and C++ interpreted environment for OS X Yosemite. Forget edit/compile/link/run cycles. For certain kinds of coding, developers want to be able to switch between editing and running their code very quickly. When they make a change they want to see the results immediately. CPPlay enables exactly this type of workflow. Just edit the code and then press the Run button. Then press stop, edit the code, and press Run again. CPPlay was designed with learning and creative coding in mind.

CPPlay's interpreted environment will prove invaluable to C and C++ developers who are learning or experimenting with new techniques and want to avoid the normal lengthy compile/link/run cycle of compilers. CPPlay's interpreted environment offers developers the ability to work in a "Playground" type development environment, previously unavailable to C and C++ developers.

"Playgrounds are a new feature of Apple's Xcode development environment that allows developers working in the Swift language to enter code and immediately see the code run, and interactively make changes to the code as they progress. Sadly, Apple did not see fit to include a Playground feature for C and C++ developers. I developed CPPlay when I found myself wishing Apple had included Playground-like features for C and C++ developers in Xcode," explained CPPlay developer Alessandro Pistocchi.

CPPlay is built on top of LLVM and clang, which are the basis of some of the most robust and optimized C/C++ development environments today. Its JIT execution engine makes it so that the code you write runs fast, and the native code you call runs at native speed.

CPPlay's environment allows customization of the window layout, with available views that include the Source Code view to create, edit and remove source code files; the Web view to browse the web for tutorials and other documentation without ever leaving CPPlay; the Console view for standard input/output; the Notes view for taking notes about their project; and the OpenGL view for viewing any drawing or animation they create with CPPlay.

Features:
* Uses an interpreter in place of a compiler to run code instantly
* Allows C and C++ developers to avoid lengthy compiling sessions during testing
* Enter your code, immediately see the result
* Swift-like Playground capabilities for C and C++ code
* Totally customizable environment. See what you want, where you want
* Windowed environment allows viewing of source code, the console, notes, and web-based information
* CPPlay allows you to call standard library code, OpenGL and OpenAL code

"Creative developers and learners can now focus more on what they are trying to achieve rather than how to use the tools and wait for them to finish", continues Pistocchi. "Developers can instantly observe what changes to their code do to the software they are building

CPPlay also includes an integrated Help system that includes a handy tutorial, with copy and paste code that walks you through how to use CPPlay to enter your code and review the interpreter's results as you make code changes.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later
* 64-bit Intel processor
* Requires Xcode and Xcode command line tools
* 20.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
CPPlay 1.1 is only $6.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Developer Tools category. Promo codes are available upon request.

Touching Lights - An iOS Game about Relationships - Published on 06/11/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Falk Fabri today introduces Touching Lights 1.0, his new game title for iOS devices. Touching Lights is a relaxing game about the relationships between lights. The player guides the Blue Light towards an Orange Light by tilting their device in the direction it should move. It presents the player with different situations that all put their own unique twist on this core gameplay mechanic. The game uses the power of 64bit devices and Metal for beautiful dynamic lighting and global illumination.

Cologne, Germany - Indie Game Developer, Falk Fabri today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Touching Lights 1.0, his new game title for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Touching Lights is a relaxing game about the relationships between lights. The player guides the Blue Light towards an Orange Light by tilting their device in the direction it should move.

The game presents the player with different situations that all put their own unique twist on this core gameplay mechanic. Together these situations form an emergent narrative that's shaped by the emotions and past experiences of the observer. After completing a level, it can be played again in endless mode. This really challenges the player's skill, as it gets progressively more difficult to touch the Orange Light often enough to stay alight. The game has intuitive full tilt controls that are easy to learn, but hard to master.

Touching Lights uses the power of 64bit devices and Metal for beautiful dynamic lighting and global illumination based on Enlighten. The music and the reactions from the lights blend into a relaxing soundscape.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPad with Metal support
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 51.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Touching Lights 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Please feel free to contact me for additional information.
