TOKYO (MacHouse) – It’s been quite a while since we had the last software release. It happens when one switches from one software development to another. Anyway, we submitted our verry first iOS game ever to Apple’s App Store more than an hour ago. This game is called Zombievaders.

Some of us still remember a famous arcade video game called Space Invaders from the 1970s and 1980s. Space invaders move right and left and also forward. Playing Zombievaders, you will probably be reminded of this classic game. In Zombievaders, you have to stop zombies from entering the town. If they reach the road block, the game will be over. In order to win the game, you have to find a pair of zombies having the same fruit. If you find a pair of zombies having the same fruit, they’ll vanish. Stopping them won’t be easy as you advance. Initially, you will have a few dozen zombies. Eventually, if you advance to the last level, this number can increase to more than 300. In order to survive, you have to use your special skills wisely. At the end of each level, you will earn experience points, which you can use to upgrade your special kills.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – A few minutes ago, we released FontsView Portable. We are releasing a pair again. And the freeware title we introduce at the same time is FontsView Portable Lite.

FontsView Portable Lite is designed such that users can compare different styles of text with a color and a size of your selection. When you have several dozen fonts, it won’t be easy to pick the best choice for a particular text string. So the idea is that you enter a string of text and then select this font and that font so that you can make the best choice visually.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – We thought we were going to end the month of April with Presenta and Presenta Lite. I guess we were wrong. We just released another pair of iPad applications some 10 minutes. The first iOS application to introduce today is FontsView Portable.

We initially developed FontsView for Mac OS X. It’s also available for Windows. Now, it’s available for iPad.

FontsView Portable (hereafter, FontsView) is designed such that users can compare different styles of text with a color and a size of your selection. When you have several dozen fonts, it won’t be easy to pick the best choice for a particular text string. So the idea is that you enter a string of text and then select this font and that font so that you can make the best choice visually. Furthermore, using Compare, you can compare different styles of text side by side in a list.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Minutes ago, we released Presenta. Released at the same time is its freeware version. It’s called… Right, it’s Presenta Lite.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – It’s been typical of us to release a pair of iPad applications these days. Indeed, we submitted another pair some 18 hours ago. One of them is called Presenta. Presenta is a failed project we abandoned a month ago due to lack of programming knowledge. So we quickly developed and released TextJunk instead. It’s now been complete.

Presenta lets you use your iPad to make a slideshow presentation. You can create as many multi-page presentation projects as the disk space allows. Insert text and picture layers to a given slide. Use your finger to swipe the screen to turn over pages.

Every time you start a project, Presenta creates a file in its sandbox-protected folder assigned to this application. If you have 15 presentation projects, you will have 15 files. You can transfer project files to a desktop computer through iTunes to save disk space. You can always transfer a project file back to Presenta through iTunes.   Continue reading →
