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.

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.

Flurry of updates

This post is a bit late, but quite a few of my iPhone programs have been updated in the past week or so. Times Tables, Learn Time, Learn Time Lite, and Roman Quiz have all received a number of fixes and improvements.

My favourite change is the animated menu that I added to Learn Time and Learn Time Lite. The user is still presented with a table view from which they choose the starting level, but there is an animated fish swimming from side to side.

I will be releasing a new version of Times Tables soon that will allow the highscores and unlocked tables to be reset — useful if you are trying out the program and want to delete your highscores before giving it to your children.

Roman Numerals 1.3 upgrade

The latest version of Roman Numerals has been approved and should be available on the app store. This version adds a must requested method for clearing the inputted numbers in one go and extends the Arabic to Roman numerals converter to generate larger numbers in an archaic format, for example, 1661 can be represented as (I) I) CLXI.

To use this new format just select the 2002 -> MMII tab and press the bottom left button with the ((I)) I)) symbol.

Roman Numerals 1.3 preview

Update: this version is now available. See this post for more details.

As promised, I am working on a new version of Roman Numerals. My main aims for this version are:

support for large numbers;
easy cleaning of inputted year.

There are multiple ways of writing larger numbers and I hope to be able to incorporate these into the future versions of the Roman Numerals program. For now I am focusing on the use of brackets (they are the letter C and the reverse letter C) to multiply the numbers, so that (I) is equivalent to 1,000, ((I)) is equivalent to 10,000, I)) is equivalent to 5,000, etc. The following screenshots show some examples of these:
