David Sumner Releases Tactical Checkers 1.0 for the iPhone and iPad - Published on 05/09/16

Durham based independent developer David Sumner today releases Tactical Checkers 1.0, a new two-player game developed exclusively for iPhone/iPad. Play occurs on a 5 x 4 board with moveable checkers. It is perfect for kids and adults alike. The game is easy to play, but challenging to play well, as it contains significant tactical and strategic aspects. Play the computer at any of four levels, or another human. The app is being offered free for a limited time, and it requires iOS 7 or greater.

Durham, North Carolina - Created by a retired research mathematics professor, Tactical Checkers is easy to learn, but challenging to play well. The game is appropriate for kids and adults - ages 8 and above. It is available for the iPhone and iPad and requires system iOS 7 or higher. Tactical Checkers contains considerable tactical and strategic complexity. The concepts of double-attack and forcing moves that are key in games such as chess and checkers play a similar role in good Tactical Checkers play.

This two-player game consists of a 5 x 4 board divided into 20 squares. The players move their pieces in consecutive turns with the objective being to get three pieces of their color in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The user can play another human or play the computer at any of four strength levels: Novice, Good, Strong, and Expert. The artificial intelligence behind Tactical Checkers uses a deep tree search in much the same way as that of chess and checker programs.

The Novice level is not hard to beat, but gives the player some experience playing the game before moving to higher levels. At the Expert level, the app is capable of finding forced wins six full moves ahead. It is possible to beat the expert level, but that requires considerable thought on the human's part.

Many players will find Expert virtually unbeatable.

The game is small and loads quickly. Game play is smooth, fluid, and nicely animated. All settings are preserved between sessions, and the user will resume a game exactly where she left off. The app includes detailed and easy to access documentation of all its features.

Feature Summary:
* Available for both iPhone and iPad
* Play a Human or the computer
* Four total levels for computer adversary
* Novice level is easy to beat
* Expert level is challenging to beat
* Smooth animation and graphics
* As easy to play as Tic Tac Toe
* Educational

Device Requirements:

* Requires iOS 7.0 or later

Spontime Sweeps Through Europe and Challenges Down To Lunch in USA

A new article has been published at prMac.

Spontime Sweeps Through Europe and Challenges Down To Lunch in USA - Published on 05/09/16

Spontime, a new social networking mobile app created by a 21-year-old Karolina Demianczuk, has been evaluated to outrun the most popular meetup app in the U.S., Down To Lunch. Created to help friends locate each other and arrange spontaneous meetings for coffee, lunch or jogging and more, Spontime has received over $3M valuation from investors and has attracted a widespread media attention in Europe. Spontime is planned to me released in May.

San Francisco, California - Spontime, a social networking mobile app designed to make spontaneous meetings easy, streamlined, and accessible to users, is positioned to take Europe by storm by providing kids, students, and young adults with a way to quickly assemble an in-person meeting for coffee, lunch, jogging, etc. Similar to America�s Down To Lunch app, an old-fashioned approach to facilitating in-person gatherings, Spontime is positioned to surpass DTL through its enhanced scheduling, sophisticated platform that never crashes, and removal of spam to users.

�Spontime takes what DTL set out to achieve, and stretches it even farther by permitting users to make plans up to 2-days from sign in, as well as insight into who joined the activity,� said Karolina Demianczuk, Founder and Co-Owner of Spontime. �We want this app to be a personalized approach that is much more targeted and private than posting on a Facebook wall. Friends will be able to collaborate for gatherings personally and quickly, right from their mobile devices.�

Founded as a way to focus on real relationships over digital relationships in today�s Cyber World, Spontime is targeted at college students, high school students, and young adults who want to save time and frustration messaging each friend individually for a gathering. When Spontime first initially announced its platform, the app received over two thousand download requests in one day.

Already popular in Europe before an official release, the app has garnered a $3.3 million valuation and significant media attention from Forbes and European TV and radio shows, including TVP, TVN Business or ESKA.

�We worked hard to ensure our app does not SPAM users with constant notifications and invites all the time,� said Demianczuk. �Unlike DTL, our professionalized approach adds on useful features while removing the incessant notifications and requirements of inviting friends in order to unlock the full functionality. Spread the word on the availability of our app, and get in quick connection with your friends again on Spontime.�

The Spontime team consists of six people working hard to bring personality and in-person enjoyment back to the millennial age group. The app is planned to me released in May. For more information, visit Spontime online.

Houdah Software today releases HoudahSpot 4.2, a major update to the popular file search tool for Mac OS X. This release marks the 10th anniversary of HoudahSpot and brings refinements to the grid view, the file tagging interface and filter options. HoudahSpot combines fast and precise file search with a customizable results display, search templates, preview of text matches and more. HoudahSpot is available in English, German and French language versions.

Luxembourg - Houdah Software today is pleased to announce the release of HoudahSpot 4.2, a major update to the popular file search tool for Mac OS X.

* Image files named "logo" more than 512 pixels wide
* Files created, modified or opened within the last 7 days

HoudahSpot is a powerful, versatile and highly customizable file search tool for Mac. It provides an interface to search the existing Spotlight index: a powerful search criteria editor, customizable results display, search templates, preview of text matches, and more.

HoudahSpot looks and works the way you expect a file search tool to work: Fill in search criteria. Specify the folders you want to search. Refine by adding and combining criteria. Add columns to better sort and explore search results. Preview files and text matches. Work with the files you have found.

New in HoudahSpot 4.2:
* Much faster text preview
* Improved grid view with Finder tag colors and long file names
* Improved file tagging control shows which tags are applied to all or only to some of the selected files
* Filters by file name and path now accept the * as wildcard to match any number of characters

HoudahSpot turns 10 years old:
HoudahSpot 1.0 was released on May 8, 2006. It was born out of the idea to combine the speed of Mac OS X Spotlight with the flexibility and precision of standard file search: "unleash Spotlight." With HoudahSpot 1.0, building precise searches became a matter of just a few clicks. Over the years, HoudahSpot has grown to be ever more powerful and yet as easy to use as ever. This has earned it a strong following as well as glowing reviews.

* "I found its power to be unparalleled. Simply put, it finds everything, and it does so remarkably quickly."
* "For me a true killer app since years - helped me so often finding long missed info fast and easy..."

A new article has been published at prMac.

LinkOptimizer 4.9.60 for Adobe InDesign Improves Image Preview Handling - Published on 05/09/16

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 4.9.60, a maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows to automatically reduce the size of InDesign picture links and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data, performing essential image adjustments and converting image formats. The new version addresses several issues related to image preview handling and link list management.

Toronto (ON) Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of LinkOptimizer 4.9.37, a maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing users to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

The new version addresses an issue in which the previews for color images could be rendered in grayscale under some rare conditions. The update also fixes an error where the sort order for ignored links was incorrect when sorted by file size, as well as some other minor performance and usability glitches.

"LinkOptimizer makes me extremely happy", says Nynke Tiekstra, the owner of design studio ColtsfootMedia in Friesland, Netherlands, "It converted 10000 images in a 1800 pages project saving us at least 40 hours work, and it proved to be 100% accurate."

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK with specific ICC profile
* Resave JPEG images as PSD
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image

As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for $259.95 USD (Light version: $179.95) as well as from authorized resellers and Adobe Exchange. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer requires Mac OS X 10.6-10.11 and Adobe InDesign and Photoshop CS3-CC 2015.
