Important changes coming in this new version (1.3) of Checkers Pro for Windows and Windows Phone. This version should show up in a couple of days in the marketplace. Key improvements: Added option to not force jumps. These are not the official rules, but enough people have said they wanted this option, that I added […]

Creating a Checkers (Draughts) game is difficult, as it has to have very solid AI, and take into consideration many exceptions, special cases, phases of the game (initial, mid, end-game), player color, and many other variations. I continue on my quest to make the best (or one of the best) Windows Phone 7 Checker apps. […]

Reversi Pro is quite a polished game, very strong AI, nice graphics, lots of options, and lots of downloads. Still, I wanted to do a ‘10,000 download anniversary edition’. Version 1.5 should show up any time in the marketplace. It is harder than before (improved engine, enhanced ‘sudden death’ detection), faster (~10% faster through several […]

I set up several ‘matches’ between Checkers Pro v1.1 and several other mobile phone Checkers: one for Windows Phone 7, and the four leading iPhone Checker games.

A little behind the scenes of what it took to create Liquid Paint. This app was supposed to be very simple, just drawing some groovy images with the finger. Well, it is not that simple. Getting the right formula for the colors took lots of testing. Then came the most difficult part: drawing the circles! […]

Took us a bit, but finally finished v1.4!. It has two main new features: Sound. When pegs move, they have sound (black and white are different). And of course you can turn it off. Faster. It varies, but can be from 25% percent faster to 300% faster, depending on the move. I was able to […]
