The game is free, but with in game advertising (a small banner on the top of the screen). There is an in-app purchase of 1 euro that removes the ads forever.

So here are the links of the app on both the supported mobile platforms:

Google Play iOS

From iOS to Android using SDL

Topic: notesAs the title, and the image below, explains in this post I'll try to explain the basics about porting a C/C++ game that uses SDL from iOS to Android.

The game I'm referring is Eat the Whistle, I've already written a few posts about how I ported it from desktop to mobile here, here and here. So this post will focus on the iOS / Android differences.

Topic: notesA destkop game ported to mobile needs to have at least some "touch" specific implementations to compete with native games... in this article I'll describe the improvements I've made to Eat The Whistle to make it more "touchy".

I started my article on this topic here, and continued here.

Porting a game to the mobile (part 1)

Topic: notesPorting an existing game to the mobile platform may be an hard job, interfaces, control systems, playing styles must be different on a mobile device, fingers are big, you have no stick or physical keys you can use, gaming sessions are shorter...

A fast port is doomed from the beginning, after the break you can read some of the challenges I took when in november 2012 I started the work to port Eat The Whistle, originally released in 1998 on the Amiga platform, to iOS (iphone/ipad/ipod).

Mass Renamer

Topic: clockA few weeks ago Canonical launched a competition called Showdown to promote their appstore, I've built a small free app to take part to the contest.

The app is called Mass Renamer and it's useful to rename files to follow a single "naming rule".

I had this problem mainly with TV shows with subtitles, and Mass Renamer can easily solve the problem (as the picture shows).

You'll find soon the linux version in the Ubuntu App Store, I'll make windows and mac versions available from this site in the next weeks.
