TINP - Multiplayer Arcade Game for the Apple TV - Published on 11/29/15
Independent developer, Davide Di Stefano announces the release of TINP on the Apple TV App Store. TINP is a throwback to old arcade games but with modern twists. The game is designed to be played from the couch with friends. The gameplay is simple: paddles compete with each other by trying to put the bouncing ball into the adversary's net and the first player that scores 5 points wins. In each match, the ball slowly accelerates and the game becomes more frenetic until a point is scored.
Palermo, Italy - Independent developer, Davide Di Stefano is proud to announce the release of TINP, available on the Apple TV App Store. TINP is a throwback to old arcade games but with some modern twists. The game is designed to be played from the couch with friends.
The gameplay is simple: two paddles compete with each other by trying to put the bouncing ball into the adversary's net, and the first player that scores 5 points wins the game. In each match, the ball slowly accelerates and the game becomes more frenetic until a point is scored. By touching the ball with the edges of the paddle, a player can launch a fireball that moves much faster and is harder to catch.
The game also features lots of special modes, that randomly activates during the game and adds variety during the matches:
* Huge ball Mode: The ball starts as really huge... but after a bit it transforms to a tiny ball for a couple of seconds
* Multiball Mode: Only a ball is the real one, the others just add chaos
* Invisible Ball Mode: The ball becomes invisible for one second, enough to confuse the players that have to predict the contact point
* Rotation Mode: The table starts to rotate randomly
* Flip Mode: The table flips vertically and the commands are inverted
* Secret Nyan Cat Mode: Secret Nyan Cat Mode??!?
* Much more...
The game supports multiplayer with the Apple Remote and MFi controllers, but also supports playing against the computer AI. "I wanted to create a really simple game that anyone can learn in 15 seconds, to play with friends during parties" says Davide Di Stefano, developer of the application.
Device Requirements:
* Fourth-generation Apple TV
Pricing and Availability:
TINP is just $1.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available through the Apple TV App Store.

Seoul, Korea, Republic Of - Independent developer, Sung-Taek Kim is proud to announce PocketCluster, an OSX BigData application, has been updated to version 0.1.2 on Saturday Nov. 21, 2015. Compared to existing developer sandboxes, PocketCluster is designed to provide a simple approach to build and operate multi-nodes Hadoop environments on OSX. It provides graphical user interfaces only in installation and operation processes. PocketCluster lets you build and operate an up-to 6 nodes Hadoop cluster with Raspberry PI 2 or a 3 nodes cluster with Vagrant.
With the simple approach to operate multi-nodes Hadoop environment, PocketCluster helps you accelerate in two use cases:
* Conduct quick experiments on Hadoop to test a hypothesis
* Gain experience on a multi-nodes Hadoop environment on OSX
Features:
* Up-to 6 nodes Hadoop cluster with Raspberry PI 2
* 3 nodes Hadoop cluster with Vagrant
* Start and stop HDFS & YARN service from OSX top menu bar
* Cluster status indicator on OSX top menu bar
* Hadoop Environment Shell
This version has been anticipated since Makezine and MagPi (issue #38) have covered PocketCluster's Raspberry PI 2 Cluster enclosure in September, 2015.
Device Requirements:
* Requires OSX 10.11 or later
* Raspberry PI 2
