Never Mind The bollocks Here's The Great Punk 'n' Words Kickstarter - Published on 05/14/14
A team of five head to the Mojave Desert for two weeks to build Zook Words, a reinvention of Scrabble, minus the cheats and with a few extra levels of strategy. Zook Words eliminates the usefulness of current technology cheat packs, which have ruined the user experience for honest Scrabble and Words With Friends players. It comes with a bigger board, and two rows of contrasting value tiles. Game play itself is 'same but different'.
Mountain View, California - A team of five want to head to the Mojave Desert for two weeks to build Zook Words - which is a reinvention of Scrabble - just minus the cheats and with a few extra levels of strategy. They're on Kickstarter now but didn't take the normal humdrum approach of a nice 'This is us, and here is a our product video.' Simon Brooks, inventor of Zook Words who had to take one for the team and do the video himself joked "I'm going on Kickstarter to kick the f-ing doors in".
The team is based out of the world-famous Hacker Dojo in the heart of Silicon Valley. Other products with startup roots at the Hacker Dojo include Pinterest and Pebble Watch - so they're in good company.
With a video budget of zero Brooks rewrote the lyrics to the classic vulgar drinking song 'Good Ship Venus' also known as 'Friggin in the Riggin', made famous by The Sex Pistols, and turned them into 'Hacking in the Desert'. He included a fun verse about each team member highlighting the chemistry and dynamics of the team. With a successful Kickstarter this newly formed team will head to the desert to build their game, and have a great new experience that they've named 'HacktusJack'. They'd love to grow it into an annual event, kinda like a Burning Man, but for the hackathon and makathon communities.
Zook Words eliminates the usefulness of current technology cheat packs, which have ruined the user experience for honest Scrabble and Words With Friends players. It also has extra levels of strategy making the game even more fun. It comes with a bigger board, and two rows of contrasting value tiles. Game play itself is 'same but different'.
Brooks already has one word game on the App Store called 'Gadzookery' - which while fun to play also builds vocabulary, and boosts creative writing skills. The development for that game was outsourced to which Brooks said "Never again, outsourcing was a frigging nightmare!" For his second word game, armed with experience, he's built a team and kept the emphasis on fun.
For more information head on over to 'The Great Punk 'n' Words Kickstarter!'

The new version of Orient has improved picture resolution and crash fixes.
Orient captures perfectly aligned pictures, despite the angle that the user's device is held. Orient relies on the device's internal gyroscope to auto-align the camera. Photos can be taken by either the front or the back camera of the device. If the user prefers the photos to appear in sync with the device's orientation, the auto-orient feature can be easily disabled or enabled from the app's settings menu.

Using Airdrop, Orient allows users to share their photo creations via e-mail, text, or Facebook. Users can also save the image, assign it to a contact, copy the picture and print it out. Orient contains no ads or in-app purchases.
"The idea of Orient was conceived during my son's birthday party. I was so busy trying to take perfect snaps that I missed out enjoying most of the special moments," says Ajit Katti, independent developer of Orient. "I believe Apple fans deserve a camera which is more intelligent than the existing one found on iOS devices. With Orient, you can do so much more. It's the perfect app for taking selfies or capturing photography while traveling. It is also ideal for those special occasions when speed is of the essence and you want all your photos to be the same size. Finally, Orient saves time.

Introducing PaintCode 2
A new article has been published at prMac.
Introducing PaintCode 2 - Published on 05/14/14
PixelCut has revealed PaintCode 2, a new version of its flagship vector drawing app for Mac OS X. PaintCode generates Objective-C code in real time, acting as a bridge between developers and graphic designers. With PaintCode, developers can create an app that is truly resolution-independent, using code to draw a user interface. The new version introduces StyleKits, Variables and Expressions, and also significantly improves the available drawing tools.
Bratislava, Slovakia - PixelCut has revealed a new version of its flagship software, PaintCode 2. PaintCode is a vector drawing app that generates Objective-C code in real time, acting as a bridge between developers and graphic designers. With PaintCode, developers can create an app that is truly resolution-independent, using code (instead of a large number of image assets) to draw a user interface.
Previous PaintCode versions have been successfully adopted by numerous developers, including industry giants such as Apple, Disney Pixar, Hewlett Packard, Evernote and Black Pixel.
The new version introduces StyleKits, Variables and Expressions, and also significantly improves the available drawing tools.
"Change the design of your app in seconds. With StyleKits, the integration of generated code into your app is extremely easy," said Mike Antonic, PaintCode's lead developer. StyleKit is a special Objective-C class that contains drawings, colors, gradients, shadows and other design assets. StyleKit can be exported from PaintCode with a single click, making the design-tweaking process very convenient.
Variables, another major new feature, lets designers create complex parametric drawings such as buttons with multiple states, circular progress bars, and even animated game characters. With Expressions, relationships can be created between variables with immediately visible results. All of these dynamic relationships are preserved in the generated code.
PaintCode 2 also brings a multi-tab, multi-canvas workspace, making it easy to consolidate all interface design assets into a single PaintCode document. With the included PSD and SVG import modules, users can turn their existing assets into resolution-independent code.
In addition to StyleKits and Variables, PaintCode 2 also improves the built-in drawing tools: transformations, new operations with beziers, automatic and manual drawing guides, shape aligning, boolean operations and many more.
"We've PaintCode 2 using PaintCode 2. Aside from the app icon, PaintCode does not use any image resources. We could quickly test countless variations of our new UI. I can't imagine doing what we've done without PaintCode. I really look forward to what our customers will achieve with our tools," said Peter Krajcik, PixelCut CEO.
Pricing and Availability:
PaintCode 2 is available on the Mac App Store and PixelCut's own store for an introductory price of $79.99 (USD). You can find further information about PaintCode as well as a trial version on the product website.
