Fuze
Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be James Bond, Jack Bauer or any other awesome person that manages to save the day just in the nick of time? Now is your chance!
Fuze gets rid of all the actual difficulty and danger of defusing bombs and just leaves in the cool part where you get to save everyone.
You earn more points, which can be thought of as a digital version of awesomeness, by waiting till the last second before defusing the bombs.
Fizzion
Imagine yourself as a scientist for a moment. Pretty cool isn't it? You're the coolest person at all the parties, you're able to pick apart the bad science in movies and TV, and you know all the best jokes. It's a great feeling. However, you also have the hard task of doing all that sciencey stuff that always seemed so difficult.
Well you could go and learn something, but that's hard. Wouldn't it be better if you could just play a game with pretty colours and cool sounds and then just know everything? Well it would, but this game isn't that game. It's the game after the game that tries, and fails, to teach people everything and people just don't care any more. That's when people play Fizzion.
It has nice colours, sound effects and even some music to keep you relaxed and forget about everything.
Kill Counter
Tired of having to remember how many kills you've made? Fed up of not knowing how awesome you are compared to everyone around you? Today is your lucky day!
Kill Counter allows you to easily tally up your kills, and deaths, and then remotely compare them to your entire team to see how you stack up.
Please Note: This app is designed for Airsoft players ( and players of similar activities ) and is in no way intended to help serial killers.
5by5
Communication on the battlefield is often a tricky thing, with loud noises and shiny things all over the place getting important messages to your team can be difficult to say the least.
In wars gone by people employed runners and even pigeons for this task however in the modern age of computers, mobile phones and twitter; day to day communication doesn't have to be complicated, wordy or or even coherent so why should battlefield comms be any different?
I present to you an app that may very well change your game, 5by5.
Quickly send 12 pre-defined short messages to your team mates through a secure password protected channel.
Find you and your teams locations on an accurate map and see where messages were sent from.
Airsoft Helper
Airsoft Helper is a simple tool for a simple purpose. It allows you to enter a guns FPS and the weight of the BB and imediately see at a glance its power in Joules, velocity in metres-per-second, an effective (and theoretical) range and an estimated flight time before the BB hits the ground.
You can also set up the various limits at your playing site and then test guns against them to easily see if (and by how much) they are over or under the limits.
With the battery calculator you can enter your battery charger's output and its inefficiency rating as well as the capacity of your battery to get an estimated charge time from flat. Great for when you don't have access to a charger with an auto shut-off feature.
Team Locator
Keeping track of the rest of your team in Airsoft ( or any other similar team based activity ) can be tricky at the best of times ( and the blurst of times ) so why don't you do your team a favour and purchase Team Locator.
And for any of you armchair players that happen to have an iPad, now you can comfortably sit at home ( or even in the safe zone ) and see where the team is without ever having to risk being shot.
Lime
Lime is a Lua library created for the Corona ® SDK which allows you as a game developer to easily include tile maps created in Tiled within your game.
Not only can Tiled be used as a level editor you can also use its simple yet flexible Property features to allow a level designer to set up all kinds of game logic without the need for a programmer to change any code thus allowing easier gameplay tweaking.
More information can be found here.
Rum
Rum is a simple helper library for the Corona ® SDK. Its primary goal is to fill in some gaps, make working in the Simulator a little nicer and bring over some cool new features.
Rum is currently in a phase of re-development however the code is available on GitHub here.
For more information about Rum as well as usage guides please check out its full page here.
Rosetta
Rosetta is a Lua module that simplifies the use of multiple languages in your Corona ® SDK powered game or app.
The code is now hosted on GitHub and usage instructions can be found here.
Charts
Charts (for lack of a better name) is a simple module that wraps the Google Chart API into a more friendly format for use with the Corona ® SDK.
At present only a small subset of the available charts are supported, I will slowly add more and release updates. All can be included it just takes time.
The code for Charts is available on GitHub here and usage instructions can be found here.
Camera
A simple Camera module for the Corona ® SDK. After seeing how popular the camera features were for Lime I decided to make a separate module that would do most of the same things. It still has some work and testing to be done but it should be pretty useful already.
The code is available on GitHub here.
Ice
Ice allows you save and load data when using the Corona ® SDK. It is very simple to use and allows you to create as many 'iceboxes' as you like.
Great for storing local high scores, settings and other data.
The code is available on GitHub here.
More usage information will be coming soon but some can be seen here.
