Image: PopCap Those Make-A-Wish stories are always a bit tough to read. It’s both heart-warming and heart-wrenching to read the story of a terminally child being given the opporotunity to do that one thing he or she has always wanted to do in life. Either way, Make-A-Wish is awesome. PopCap is also awesome. 10-year-old Owain was diagnosed with pre-B acute lymphomatic leukemia last year, and has been going through treatment since. He’s always wanted to see what it’s like to work with game developers, and PopCap decided to bring him along for the ride and make a game during PopCamp. What’s actually very neat about all this is that even the designers were impressed when the kid showed up with a powerpoint presentation detailing his ideas for the game. As PopCap shows, the kid had a backstory already written: “You are a military genius who has just been released from cryo-sleep. Your brilliance in the Lunar War convinced the A.S.P. (Allied Star Police) to put you in cryogenic slumber, just in case WWIII showed up. It’s not exactly WORLD war three, more Galactic War one…” The kid had all his units and characters planned out, weapons, firepower, etc. At one point during the week-long development process, Owain saw the characters and said, “This is space, those guys need helmets!” (Miyamoto in training?) At the end of the week, they held a launch party and gave him an iPad loaded with PopCap games as well as his creation, Allied Star Police. What’s more, PopCap has decided that they will continue with the game. They are going to keep working on it and add things to each new build. Nice work, Owain. You can check out the game here. It’s short, more of a demo, but it’s actually very well thought out. Read More
By – Doodle Farm was recently released, and we have free app codes. It’s by JoyBits, the same folks who made Doodle God and Doodle Devil. Here’s a description of the application from the App Store page: “Doodle Farm brings cute animals to your iPhone that you can use to breed and create new animals on your Farm. Do you know how to create a dog or a tiger? Which two animals put together can create a third one as a result? Does Cat + Dog = Tiger? Or does Duck + Herring = Penguin? And can a penguin fly? You will find these answers and more as you mix and match creatures to build an entire animal kingdom, starting with just four creatures.” Here are the codes: NHJ6MAJXEJ3X NE9WWKLJLLLK RTEKHXY4PE3X Related Posts Read More
By – DJing is considered a profession that requires skill and years of experience. It looks easy at a glance, but keeping track of two beats at once and setting seamless loop points in a song are much harder than you’d think. Top that with the fact that it’s happening live and people are dancing along, on minor mistake can destroy the vibe in an instant. It’s not something just anyone can pick up and do, that’s why highly-skilled DJs like DeadMou5 are so famous. There are software solutions for iOS. While fun, those are designed to emulate traditional DJ setups. They don’t cater to the average user. Sometimes, the solution becomes harder than just using traditional DJ hardware because of the lack of tactile feedback, which makes the process of mixing even more difficult. Touch DJ Evolution offers a different solution. It manages to simplify the mixing by making it a single tap action. It uses a technology called “1-Tap Auto-Sync.” This makes it possible to sync your two tracks and easily, yet seamlessly, crossfade. Those wanting to fade between tracks no longer have to deal with the complexities of beat-matching. All of the functions are accessible on a single screen. This eliminates switching through menus or getting lost in a sub-menu during a mix. The layout makes it all appealing to the user. The neon glow of the semi-transparent interface gives it somewhat of a futuristic vibe. The app is free, and can help average users become the next Tiesto of Paul Van Dyk. Still, it’s not without its flaws. For instance, the FX could be better and the track analysis can take too long at times, but it’s only the beginning of this app. We’re sure the app will be updated and even more automated DJ mixing solutions Read More

By – This is the Official Star Trek PADD (Personal Access Display Device) App by CBS Interactive. It’s definitely designed for the fans. It’s inspired by the PADD from the show. We’d be lying if we said we knew much about Star Trek, but we know a few people who would be willing to drop the $4.99 on this App immediately. Here are the features according to the Apps page on the App Store: Features of the Star TrekTM PADD app include: -Browse or search through official database of Star Trek television series information, including aliens, ships, places, technologies, and episode guide -Rich, immersive LCARS graphical interface, introduced in Star Trek: The Next GenerationTM television series -Authentic computer sound effects and voice -Jump to related information through cross-links to other content -Read the latest news from the Star TrekTM Facebook page and Star Trek Twitter feed -Enjoy two self-running diagnostic modes with an overview schematic of the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM NCC-1701-D They also note that they will be updating the database as more information becomes available. Nice. Sounds like a good way to accompany your Netflix streaming of Star Trek, if ya don’t mind the new pricing plans. Related Posts Read More
By – Okay, well it's more like it taps a spot on the iPhone. Still, it's a nice way to rack up the points in Coin Dozer (free on the App Store). There isn't much to the game outside of dropping coins. It seems to work for the fellow who built this little contraption. Then of course, you could ask why you'd want to remove the interactivity from something interactive like a game. We couldn't tell you, but we're sure that the person who built it had a fun time creating the machine. It's not as complex as the robot this guy built, but it's probably a lot easier to make.
