This website is changing. The iPhone and iPad pages are currently being moved to cloudpebbles.com so some things might be temporarily broken. Please update your bookmarks.

Times Tables 2.3.6

kumo — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:14:36 +0000

A new version of Times Tables is available in the app store. This fixes the problem that iOS 3.1.3 users were having with the previous upgrade.

Times Tables 2.3.5

kumo — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:56:04 +0000

It took me a while but the latest update to Times Tables is available. This adds support for retina display and perhaps iPad as a universal app. You can find information about this app either on this website or http://TimesTablesApp.com.

Roman Numerals 1.4.1

kumo — Sat, 15 May 2010 14:35:51 +0000

I am working on an improved version of Roman Numerals with more conversion options and possibly an iPad version, however I wanted to focus on some of the issues that people have been having. This small update adds auto-repeat to the delete button so that it is easier to clear MCMXXVII from the screen instead of shaking your iPhone or iPod Touch.

TimesTables 2.3.3

kumo — Sat, 15 May 2010 14:29:51 +0000

The TimesTables iPhone app has been recently updated to 2.3.3. The main two features in this version are that it will automatically start the app with the last player, and it will also show the last quiz that was played so that it can be played again easily. If you have downloaded 2.3.2 then you will need to download 2.3.3 because this fixes a bug where the highscores were no longer selectable.

BeOS projects

Well it has been a while but the source code to my BeOS projects seems to have reappeared. I don’t know how complete they are (I didn’t use version control in 2000-2002) and whether they compile or not, so I am trying them out. I have BeOS working in a QEMU emulator (well just ‘Q’ actually) but without network or colour. Trying to download haiku r1 alpha 1 to see how that goes instead. I will be posting updates to a separate tumblelog at http://kumo-beos.tumblr.com/. I don’t suppose there is a version control that works with bfs attributes is there? I would like to stick the code on github, but that would just strip away the all-important attributes, so not very useful!

TimesTables 2.3.1

kumo — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:43:12 +0000

A new update to TimesTables should be available in the appstore. This version is a minor update that allows the question presentation to be mixed up. Previously there was the option to decide how to present the questions because in different countries the times tables are shown differently, for example:

1×7, 2×7, 3×7, 4×7, 5×7, …
7×1, 7×2, 7×3, 7×4, 7×5, …

Now, on the configuration page, there is the option to mix these up so that the questions can appear in either way. Sometimes it is easy to learn that 2 times 5 is 10, but what is 5 times 2?!

Email problems

kumo — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:02:40 +0000

Unfortunately, due to a DNS problem I appear to have lost any emails that were sent to me during the last week of March so if you contacted me then could you please resend me your email.

Roman Numerals 1.4

kumo — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:24:39 +0000

Roman Numerals has been updated to 1.4. The main feature of this version is copy & paste. With this you can, for example, convert a roman numeral, copy the conversion and paste it in email, or copy a roman numeral from a webpage and paste it directly into the app without having to type it out.

You need to have upgraded to at least iPhone OS 3.0 (on either an iPhone or iPod Touch) to use this update, because copy and paste doesn’t work with previous versions of the iPhone OS.

Roman Quiz 1.2 available

kumo — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:03:00 +0000

An update to Roman Quiz is now available in the app store. In this version the quiz mode has been revamped to make the experience more interesting. The custom quiz mode has been replaced by four specific quizzes that test the various types of Roman Numerals. Each quiz starts off in Easy mode, and then in the following 3 modes each quiz is timed with the time available reducing in each level!

I have more plans for Roman Quiz so update to this version and let me know what you think.
