You may, of course, also select other backgrounds. It's not finished yet, it'll be easier to see the fixed numbers once finished.

Relaunching my website (6.August 07, 13:40)

The big relaunch :-)

Now, that I've got two new apps for the iPhone out (take a look at them in the projects section!), I decided to actualize my homepage.

You'll find all pages in English and German now; The blog will be English only from now on.

Eine Woche Fractalicious - Rückblick. (26.Oktober 07, 01:15)

Fractalicious

Alle Infos gibts jetzt unter Projekte/Fractalicious.

Heute ist das Projekt eine Woche alt, ich erlaube mir einen kurzen Rückblick.

2091 Zeilen Code sind entstanden, also ca. 300 Zeilen pro Tag. Ich habe vieles in Objective-C, CoreGraphics und UIKit dazugelernt, beschlossen beim iPhone-App Contest mitzumachen und mit mehreren sehr netten und hilfreichen Amis geschwätzt.

Im Programm selbst hat sich natürlich auch einiges getan: Der Mainview steht, es werden schon das obligatorische Spiralenfraktal und das Farnfraktal berechnet. Man kann via "real pinching" (wie ich es nenne) das Fraktal zoomen, bewegen und sogar drehen. Und das ganze dank CoreGraphics erstaunlich rund.
Außerdem funktionieren die DragablePoints schon; dh. man kann, indem man Punkte herumzieht, das Fraktal ändern.

Aber es ist noch ein langer Weg...

Odin sei mit euch!

Hello World! (20.September 07, 15:30)

Hello World!

Ein denkwürdiger Augenblick: Der erste Blogeintrag!

Endlich, eine mir angemessene Seite - ich bin recht zufrieden damit. Ich habe natürlich unter Projekte/Websites genauer beschrieben, was dahinter steckt.

Was jetzt hier in Zukunft eigentlich geschrieben werden wird? - Ich weiß es selbst noch nicht so genau. Jedenfalls werde ich die schon vorhandenen Kategorien mit meinen Werken füllen und sie natürlich auf dem Laufenden halten.
Möglicherweise werde ich auch meine Meinung zum FSM, Jesus, dem Papst, oder irgend welchen anderen Leuten kundtun.

Odin sei mit euch!

Fractalicius

Fractalicious

A fractal calculating program for iPhone/iPod touch with software version 1.1.3/1.1.4


Note: I actually began working on an iPad/iPhone version of Fractalicious (for iOS 3.x+), but it had to step aside due to more important projects. Still, the fractal project will live forever! :-) (I'm keeping this page mostly for nostalgic reasons, as there's probably no one left using a iPhone with a jailbroken iOS 1.x and a working PPC-toolchain)


You can find it at fractalicious.googlecode.com.


Screenshot

A variant of the "Spiral"-fractal on my iPod.

Features:

  • A few different fractals
  • "Real pinching", enables
    • zooming,
    • moving and even
    • rotating
    the fractal by pinching.
  • Dragable Points - those are control points of the fractal; you can move them by dragging and change proportions & angles this way.

Underneath

  • Extremely fast calculation using my own algorithm :-)
  • The vector library is ported from FraQtal.

Timeline:

9. October: got my iPod!

13. October: First jailbreak!

14-17. October: installing the toolchain.

18. October: First hello world: I'm a iPhone developer from now on.

20. October: A base is working.

23. October: Math library working.

24. October: Introducing real pinch!

25. October: Generalized structure, Fern fractal.

and so on...

  • Ariadnes thread: You can use backtracing with this technique.
  • Colorisation: You can set colors.

  • Note modes: thumbSudoku can enter all notes for you.
  • Scan support: Scan for numbers quickly if you want to!
  • Styles: choose different backgrounds.
  • Tips: A hand ful tips to get you started quickly.
  • It's only two bucks! Imagine that!

And that's not all. thumbSudoku is still in development, an update featuring more and harder Sudokus, a new theme, and a few other features is on it's way!
