I’ve finished the iOS port of my game Pizza Snake. It is free and it works great on iPhone and iPad.
I did it to learn Objective C and iOS programming. Since I did everything from the ground up, it took me some 2 months of part-time from start to finish.
I overhauled everything and this version is much better than the Android one.
The Start Screen and Level Select menus feature a neat parallax effect, and the game runs at 60fps on the newest devices.

Pedro Dinis and I have made this website in a friendly collaboration.

Google is killing Google Reader and I have an idea for a new Reader. Hear me out.
1. Instead a centralized service relying on some big entity like Google that might kill it or have hiccups due to heavy usage, have your own server do it for you. So now your server is aggregating your feeds through a CRON set every I don’t know, 5 or 10 minutes.
2. But your feeds are private and you are the one who manages them and checks them as read or unread so now you need a secure login. But if you have a WordPress blog/website, then you already have a secure login to your server (through your wordpress administration panel login), which drives me to:
3. The RSS reader I’m thinking is a WordPress plugin that is your own reader and only you can access it through your WordPress admin UI. You can also share and post some feed links to directly to your wordpress blog, or even your twitter, facebook, etc. And because you’re logging more into your WordPress, it can drive you to post more blog posts which is good.
I have made Pizza Snake, a video game inspired by a DOS era classic game called Pizza Worm, made by Sami “Zorlim” Lehtinen.
The gameplay is very simple but also very fun, challenging and addictive: tap where you want to go and eat as many pizzas you can without falling off the table or biting yourself.
The game is available for Android phones and there are two versions, Pizza Snake FREE and Pizza Snake.
If you have a Google Chrome browser, you can also play Pizza Snake for Chrome.

I can’t listen to podcasts or new music while learning new stuff. I get too easily distracted.
On the other hand, music that I’ve listened to many times and I know it from beginning to end helps me concentrate. Go figure.
Just a thought about these new virtual reality headsets.
If the game developers knew where your eyes were looking through a sensor in the Oculus Rift, they could add another level of realism by applying Depth of Field so that the focal distance was the distance from your eye to the object you were looking.
