Cards Table Released

My newest app, Cards Table has been released. You can download it here.

It’s similar to my piecepack app but with regular cards instead. You can use it to play almost any card game or solitaire. It doesn’t enforce rules, it just simulates a card deck and a few other pieces so people can use the iPad to play any game.

Experimenting with Ads

As of today I’ve started experimenting with Ads for my free games. My new game Cards Table will be the first one. It will have a full screen ad each time the app is started. Vector Star Brawl has been updated with the same system too.

The ads won’t be very intrusive and will give you all the chance of supporting my work. Eventually I will add payed versions of my games without ads.

Cards Table submitted to the App Store

Recently I got an excellent review for my piecepack app asking for a similar app for a standard deck of cards.

“This is an awesome app. It does everything you could want it to do for a Piecepack app. I just wish there were an app this good for regular cards! I really love the semi-snapping feature – when pieces are close to each other, they kind of snap together. And the save and load table layouts is perfect. I can’t think of anything to add. Perfect!”

So I got to work and yesterday submitted it to the App Store. It uses the wonderful public domain images from Byron Knoll and works pretty much the same as the piecepack app. I even left the dice and pawns in just in case they turn to be useful in some games… the piecepack coins became just regular markers which can be used for scoring.

Update for Star Brawl released: iCade and GameDock support.

Update: The update has been released. if you’ve got an iCade, go get it now!

I’ve released my latest update to Vector Star Brawl. The update adds iCade support for one or two players (and 2 player games work really well this way!).

I’ve also added full support for the upcoming Gamedock controllers, so the game also plays on an external display.

Note that in order to use an external display you need to have an external controller (iCade or Gamedock). At this time, touch controls are disabled when using an external display.
