Curling3D
MaxNick today is pleased to introduce Curling3D 1.0 for iOS, their curling simulation game for one or two players. Similar to shuffleboard, the game is played on a flat ice curling sheet, roughly 15×150 feet. Players slide round stones of about 40 pounds towards bull’s eye targets at either end. Two teammates may use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the moving stone. Curling3D is a follow-up to MaxNick’s successful iCurling game, and adds a new dimension of realism with 3D rendering and on-screen players. Many user suggestions have been integrated into this new curling simulation.
Curling 3D attempts to simulate the excitement of the game by incorporating many aspects of the actual sport. Fundamentally, curling is about force, mass, friction, momentum, rotation, and collision. The app exploits the sophisticated physics engine built into the iPhone OS to generate a convincing simulation of all these elements as they interact. In the terminology of curling, the weight is the velocity of the stone; the turn is the rotation of the stone (which affects its trajectory); and the line is the direction of the throw or delivery. Curling3D allows the player to continuously and independently control all three, permitting advanced tactics such as the guard, takeout, and tap. In addition, the app allows the player to sweep the ice while their stone is moving, adjusting trajectory after the delivery.

Corporate Smalltalk Consulting, Ltd. today is pleased to announce Fax Reader 1.6.7 for iOS, an update to their document viewer/handler app that allows the user to view the TIF files generated by standard office fax machines.

The app includes Dropbox connectivity, and functions as a document handler with "Open in…" functionality.
Fax Reader enables viewing of multi-page faxes by first importing the entire file into its storage area. Once imported, the file undergoes one-time pre-rendering that ensures the fax is re-scaled to be optically correct and to provide the fastest possible rendering when viewing a multi-page document. The user can copy documents into Fax Reader by using iTunes to copy files into, delete, or copy them out of the app. Users can also ask Fax Reader to open documents from other apps, like Mail. Fax Reader does not need to be running to open documents from other apps. The app launches with the following file import locations displayed: Local Storage, Dropbox Storage, iOS Photo Library, iOS Clipboard.
