Paper Soccer / Hockey

Tags: , , , ,

soccer Yet another small app developed in c# that works on windows mobile and pc.

The game is pretty simple and the AI is pretty dumb at this moment :)

The game starts on an empty field of (usually) 8×10 boxes, with goals of two boxes wide as shown in the picture. In the beginning, a ball is drawn in the center of the field, on the crossing of the paper lines. Players move the ball in turns and aim to place it in the opponent’s goal.

In one turn, the ball may be moved into one of the eight paper line crossings around it (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and a segment from the original position to the new one is drawn to mark the move. The ball may move neither on the game field border nor on the segments marking the previous moves – instead, it “bounces” from them, and a player who moves the ball into a position where there is already an end of a segment or a game field border gets another turn.

The first player to place the ball in the opponents goal wins the game. The game may also end when a player does not have a valid move, in which case that player loses.

Metar Mobile v0.2.1

Tags: , ,

The only ‘big’ modification from V0.1 is the possibility to add multiple stations.

Added an option the download METAR data via ftp or http (default).

If there is an error with the update process, it will show the previous data.

Also changed the background color, as it was hard to read under bright sun.metar_mobile-021

Metar Mobile v0.1

Tags: ,

Was looking for a time now for a small application to display METAR data, as a way to get near real-time weather update.

This weekend i had a bit more time at disposal and tried my luck with c# and this is what i made so far.

This is an alpha release (it may be the last one if I will be satisfied with what it makes so far :) )

It’s very simple.  It may download decoded data, or raw METAR (saves expensive bytes:) ) if you know how to read them. And you can get those updates at a regular time (1,5,15 or 30 minutes).

It’s been tested only on XP and WM 5.0 and 6.0 and i found no bugs so far.

If there are some future requests please leave a comment.

Ever dreamed to fly?

Tags: , ,

I’m sure everybody did.

Flying is not cheap, but there are some other means to somehow satisfy your dream.

Last year i came across a simulator that does this for me, and it does a great job.

Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator is designed to recreate the ultimate experience of competition soaring on your PC.
A lot of attention was put in to create an environment which would create an immersion of real competition flying. This means that the aerodynamics and weather physics were in focus of the development. The result is amazingly real feel of flight in all flight regimes and weather conditions which challenges a real soaring pilot on a competition day.

From the blazing speed of ridge racing to slow pacing thermal races the experience is awsome. I have about 200h of online racing and i can’t get enough of it :)

Of course, i still wish for the real deal …

A common quote sais:

If flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry

I’ll let you ‘read’ it for yourselves.

Enjoy!

Nice isn’t it?

Now let’s see some action:
