NRGridView is a grid-view UI component (built as a static library) which has been developed by Louka Desroziers, for Novedia Regions. How it works? Almost like UITableView works. You set a dataSource, and a delegate.. and you implement all @required methods. It also has a 'layoutStyle'. It means you can use it as a vertical gridView, or horizontal grid-view!

Cross-browser support for the Flexible Box Model

The GPUImage framework is a BSD-licensed iOS library that lets you apply GPU-accelerated filters and other effects to images, live camera video, and movies. In comparison to Core Image (part of iOS 5.0), GPUImage allows you to write your own custom filters, supports deployment to iOS 4.0, and has a simpler interface. However, it currently lacks some of the more advanced features of Core Image, such as facial detection.

Useful UIImage category for handling sprite sheets. This add-on smoothes the way of extracting images from a sprite sheet (texture atlas).

This can be useful in UIImageView animations where animationImages array has to be filled with a set of images representing frames.

Dragonfly is a new(-ish!) ruby gem for handling images and other content in Ruby web apps (including Rails). “What – another one?!”.. I hear you exclaim.

CCTMXTiledMap is useful, but it's absurdly slow for large maps, thus, HKTMXTiledMap is born. By pushing only polygons needed to the GPU, it drastically reduces render times by the GPU. Currently, it only supports orthogonal maps (no hex or isometric maps). Also added to it is animation functionality. This allows you to have data-driven animated tiles as done through the Tile Properties.

A good-looking tab control usually has one feature that I've always found impossible to reproduce without images: borders that bend to the outside at the bottom of each tab. In this article I would like to show how you can use the CSS :before and :after pseudo elements to create this effect without using images. First, let's start with some basic markup.

One of the prettiest built-in views on the iPhone is the UIPickerView, which presents a slot-machine-like list of options. Unfortunately, this view isn’t particularly easy to use, as its default presentation takes up quite a bit of screen real-estate, and it’s not obvious how to resize it. Today, I’d like to talk about how to tame this view.

A Conceptual Framework for Extending Upon the Functionality of 960.gs

t the heart of an isometric game is a map of tiles. This can either be a long linear list where, for example, the first 10 items are the first row, the second 10 items are the next row and so on. Alternatively, you could use a list of 'rows', where each row is a list of tiles. In this tutorial, we will use this second approach.

Hello, my name is Eirik Suhrke, and I write music for video games.

Anecdotally, developers consistently tell us that they make more money on iOS, about three to four times as much. To be sure, we pulled a sample of in-app purchase data from a set of top apps with versions on both iOS and Android, comprising of several million daily active users (DAUs). Running the numbers, we find that, on average, for every $1.00 generated on iOS, the same app will generate $0.24 on Android.

We have a hundred ideas for games but we’re only two full time people here at Focused Apps. So how do we choose what to work on next? What ideas do we spend time prototyping, and which projects do we push forward to market? We developed our own ‘points out of ten’ scoring system called the ‘FAM’ score. FAM stands for Fun, Ability (our ability to produce and sell the game), and Market (which includes monetization). We award 0 to 3 points in each category: 0=bad; 1=OK; 2=good; 3=fantastic, leaving 1 bonus point to add if we think there’s some factor so super awesome it deserves another point.

One little known secret is that Rails 3 allows you to define your own configuration elements trivially.
