I updated the website and contact info in the Readme files for my three old uDevGame contest entries- Black Cube, Asteroid Rally, and WordBeGone.
I considered updating the 3d Brick/Paddle Bash readme’s as well but I don’t currently have a way to recreate the old binhexed Stuffit archive file format that really old Macs prefer. So I’m leaving well enough alone for now.
Welcome to MindTheCube’s new website! In addition to a nicer appearance, it now includes a blog, RSS news feed, and a Contact page for reaching me. (Speaking of which: if you notice something broken or missing in the new website, please let me know!)
News about my games will be shown on the home page and the page of specific games. Occasionally I will also write articles about programming and game development- these will appear solely in the blog section. If you are interested in either of these please subscribe to the news feed to be notified when I post something new.
Enjoy!
This made my day. I just stumbled on the fact that Pawns was used in a course in an international school in Geneva! Looks like a teacher was using it to introduce young students to thinking logically and using trial and error, as a first step towards teaching them programming. Interesting!
If you look carefully at the banner image you can even see a glimpse of some kids playing Pawns there:
Students pondering Pawns
I am currently working on an iPhone version of Pawns! The full version will have at least 40 puzzles, ranging from relaxing to infuriating. I am hoping to release it before the end of 2009.
Keep an eye on this website for progress reports.
A major update to Pawns, version 1.2 features improved visuals and controls. The game now tracks which puzzles you’ve solved, and lets you select them by name. The Windows build uses DirectX for improved compatibility and performance on most PCs.
