Enigma and Colossal Cave Releases

Thu, 11/26/2009 - 14:48 — ewcarman

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we released updates to two of our applications:

  • Enigma 1.9.0
  • Colossal Cave Adventure 1.2.0

The Enigma update was suggested by a user and involves freeing up some screen space, which is particularly important when the soft keyboard is displayed. Now the Quote Source is hidden by default and can be shown/hidden using the hints. While hidden, you gain a significant percentage of screen space.

The Colossal Cave Adventure update was a little more fun. I added Text to Speech capabilities. While it isn't important to the execution of the game, it is fun. I expect most people will tire of the voice sooner rather than later, but I still enjoy it, and since this is a text-based game, reading aloud seemed a natural progression.

I will be investigating the voice recognition engine next for possible inclusion in the game. It could be fun.

Grab the updates and Enjoy!
