Gameplay

The aim of the game is to build a transportation network using trucks, buses, trains, aeroplanes and boats to link together industries and towns on the map and transport the cargo they produce. Every time a vehicle makes a delivery of some cargo the player receives an income allowing them to build more infrastructure (rails, stations, etc.), vehicles, modify the terrain and interact with towns (via their local authority). The default game runs from 1950 to 2050 during which time the player aims to get as high a performance rating (based on number of vehicles, income, amount of cargo delivered, etc.) as possible.

For those unfamiliar with the geocaching phenomenon, here’s a helpful quote from Wikipedia:

“Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, anywhere in the world.”

Here are some screenshots of the app in action on an Android powered mobile phone:

Key software features include:

- User-friendly: only a very small amount of code is needed to create a report and it makes complex reports easy to maintain and understand.

- Dynamic report design: the design of each report is created in simple Java code. You can implement any logic in your code which decides how the report will look like. This makes it ideal for ad-hoc reporting where it is necessary to create reports dynamically.

- Inherited report design: a design can even be inherited from another design. This is impossible in static report designs designed in visual designers.

- And much more. For a full feature list, see here.

Below are some screenshots of reports made with DynamicReports.

The software includes the following features:

- Document-oriented storage: JSON-style documents with dynamic schemas offer simplicity and power.

- Full Index Support: Index on any attribute, just like you’re used to.

- Replication & High Availability. Mirror across LANs and WANs for scale and peace of mind.

- Auto-Sharding. Scale horizontally without compromising functionality.

- Querying. Rich, document-based queries.

- Fast In-Place Updates. Atomic modifiers for contention-free performance.

- Map/Reduce. Flexible aggregation and data processing.

- GridFS. Store files of any size without complicating your stack.

- Commercial Support. Enterprise class support, training, and consulting available.

The application’s key features include:

- Audio and Video Conferencing. Choose between 4 principal communication options: audio + video, audio only, video only, picture only.

- Meeting recording and Screen sharing. The app allows you to record sessions including sound recorded from all audio streams in exactly the way you’ve seen it in the conference.

- Recordings can be downloaded as AVI/FLV files.

- Watch and organize recordings in an integrated Drag and Drop File-Explorer

- Moderating System. During a conference, the moderater can adjust the user permission to every user individually .

- Chat and whiteboarding. Each whiteboard can have the full range of tools and documents inside, including drawing, writing, Drag n’ Drop, Resizing, Images (Drag n’ Drop from File-Explorer), Symbol(s)/Cliparts.

- And much more.

- You can see a demo version in action here.

The key features of this software kit include:

- A visual, icon-based authoring environment that allows learning objects to be easily created with the minimum of scripting.

- No prior knowledge of coding languages required.

- Integrate text, graphics, animations, sounds and video at the click of a button to create simple interactivity, and deliver it in an accessible interface.

- Content can be SCORM compliant for delivery in any LMS or VLE.

- If you write some code, you will be able to create more complex structures and sophisticated interactivity.

The application’s key features include:

Social music

- See your friends’ music libraries and playlists and listen instantly. Add your favourite tracks to your library, create playlists of your own and publish them via Facebook, Twitter, email or any way you like.

- Import your friends from Facebook – or add your own – and have them updated automatically as you make new friends and find new artists.

Music in the cloud

- Robonobo plays tracks from the network immediately, so you can listen from anywhere, and downloads the music files and saves them on your computer so you can burn them to CD or export them to your music player.

Support for artists

- Future releases of the software will give artistis greater ability to control the distribution of their tracks and sell music directly through the app, as well as tapping into the social network around their music and making great relationships with their fans.

Copyright safe

- This technology will protect you by making sure you don’t accidentally share copyrighted music over the Internet, but it’s not finished yet – and until it is, we ask that you limit your music sharing to public-domain and Creative Commons tracks, and those made freely available by the artist. With power comes responsibility.

Appreciated by quantitative analysts and developers, it is intended for academics and practitioners alike, eventually promoting a stronger interaction between them. QuantLib offers tools that are useful both for practical implementation and for advanced modeling, with features such as market conventions, yield curve models, solvers, PDEs, Monte Carlo (low-discrepancy included), exotic options, VAR, and so on.

Airtime 1.9 was released on August 10th with a new file storage system that allowed users to set ‘watch’ folders, to synchronise files and to browse their audio archives. Also added were Shoutcast support, a one line Ubuntu install command and improved front-end widgets. 1.9.4 was released on September 27th with DEB packages for Ubuntu & Debian.

The Open Exhibits SDK includes support for multitouch gestures within Adobe Flash and Flex. This software is free for museums, universities, students, U.S. Government organizations and research labs, and other educational organizations.

Key software features include

Multitouch, Multiuser Support: the Open Exhibits SDK provides an extensive gesture library that allows developers to easily build multitouch applications for use on most TUIO, Windows 7 and Air 2.0-enabled surfaces.

Modules and Templates: the heart of Open Exhibits is a suite of professionally-designed multitouch software modules that act as building blocks for creating new exhibits. Open source Modules and Templates allow designers and developers to connect to online collections and web applications, play multimedia, intearct with NUI devices (such as Microsoft Kinect), and more.

Practical and Open: since most developers of computer-based interactive exhibits use Adobe Flash, Open Exhibits does too. Most modules and templates are authored in Flash, or Adobe’s open source Flex (FlashBuilder) framework.

Community: OpenExhibits.org is a resource for developers and exhibit designers, with screencasts, member blogging, a community driven idea board, research findings, museum surveys, and the software itself.
