[Game] SOE -[R]- 3/1/11 -[V]- 1.0 - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

Name: SOE (system of Equations)
SOE is a simple little math/puzzle game I made, to try and trick people into learning algebra, or just work as a math puzzle.
SOE (System of Equations) is a new challenge in puzzles. Take Sudoku to the next level. You have a 4 x 4 grid. Each column has to add up to a given number, and each row has to add up to a given number. Between each number is either addition or subtraction symbol, indicating which operation must be performed and ultimately equal to. Sounds easy, but it is a real challenge. Take your math, logic and puzzle skills to the next level!

Applications that just excel over the rest?

I guess I'm hitting on a topic that has had endless discussions and has just plain been posted thousands of times, so it's probably a big annoyance for most of you; however, I have yet to see a concise and informative post or even a website anywhere that helps me get applications for my first Pocket PC, an AT&T Tilt. So if it's not too much trouble could you guys please help me out here? Please follow this format for each application you post:

I think if we follow this format, we can give this thread a longer life expectancy as well as alleviate many of these types of posts. Even though I expect this to be an thread for great applications, if you feel the need to criticize another application please do so in a thorough manner following the format. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I hope to see some amazing applications!
[PIM Manager]: $29.95
Application: Manages your contacts, tasks, diary & Todo lists.
Description: An impressive all round product to help assist with managing your data in a simple but complex interface. Pocket Informant doesn't just simply let you work with your daily events through lists and grids, but with the new Events and Journal views you can look at your life's past and future in an easy cohesive environment. Even create contact links within your appointment or tasks' subject and notes let you quickly access a named contact without having to resort to links or a search. Most suprisingly, this power doesn't come at the cost of a complicated, cluttered interface.

For me the best application which in fact has prevented me from shifting to Symbian is SoftMaker's Office.
Category = On purchase. This is a suite of Spreadsheet and word processor.
Positives = So powerful that it can do almost what the PC counterpart can do. I need extremely complex spreadsheets even including conditional formatting and drop down lists. Never once I have encountered a situation where there was a mismatch between the desktop and the device. Round trip integrity of documents is just perfect.
Negatives = Not really many except for the steep price but I guess I do not mind this much as the overall functionality it provides is just great.
website = www.softmaker.com
[Category] - Pricing/Freeware - $40.00 - $60.00
Application: - CalliGrapher

[GPS navigation] - around $150, depends on country
Application: iGo MyWay Plus
Description: excellent GPS navigation software
Positives: Best interface that I've ever seen in any GPS software. Extremely convinient and easy to use. Fast, reliable. A lot of infromation on the screen, yet nothing is ever covered by anything, you get the whole view. Has a very large selection of maps. Not sure about others, but California map is very well detailed - last update was in Jan 08 with over 2 million POIs. Nevada map is ecellent too, other states probably the same. Supports TMC, internal/external GPS, speed cameras, excellent voice guidance, day/night skins, various transportation devices, toll road avoidance, and much more stuff.
Negatives: Does not get traffic updates from the web. Rest is minor glitches: If device goes to sleep, it may not return from it if iGo is running (happens very rarely). If phone is on vibrate - switches it to "silent" mode... although maybe this bug has to do with my config/device.

Excellent idea! Should hopefully curb the "Just got my HTC xxx - what programs should I put on it?" posts!

[Synchronisation] - £16.00/Free trial
Application: Easy Sync by Pocket Wizards
Description: Excellent program that lets you sync any files from any location on your PC to any location (including microSD) on your PPC
Positives: Much better than Active Sync file transfer. Leave all your files exactly where they are on your PC. Set up a sync partnership for that file using the straightforward wizard and choose where on your device you want to sync the file to. Choose your update frequency and job done - whenever you change the original file, the synced copy also updates. Can set up uni or bi-directional sync, so changes made to PPC version are automatically transferred to your PC file at next Sync. Can be set to trigger when ActiveSync starts up for a fully automated process. Also allows for sync of entire folders.
Negatives: The only one I can think of is that it is compatible with .NetCF 2.0 only, not with 3.5. Other than that, very smooth and stable. Well worth the money.

Positives: Allows you to choose multiple SMS recipients by ticking the boxes, rather than choosing them one by one. Can set this up for different contacts groups too.

[SIP Keyboard] - Usually $19.99. But at the moment, $12.98 for two licences. Give one to a friend like I have!
Application: TouchPal 2.0 Professional
Description: Finger/thumb-friendly predictive keyboard with a special technology called T+ where you tap and slide each key in a different direction for different symbols, letter, case, number etc. Many many features including multiple languages, dynamically-resizable keyboard, fast custom word input. Innovative design.
Positives: way too many to list. accurate and quick predictive input due to design of two letters on one key, powerful, looks great, excellent support people who will consider your feature requests VERY quickly, excellent value. Still looks like a normal qwerty keyboard.
Negatives: Some people not used to predictive input may undergo a little learning curve. Try it, it's much faster and with this one, it usually has the word you want as the first one so you can just keep on typing!

Pros:

Engineers...

SO, i would like to know from you that are engineers or engineering students, how you use your smartphone/pda for.
I am a chemical engineering student and I've found lot of interesting software, most of them calculators, unit conversors and dictionaries. Beside that, using the pda to organize myself and keep information allways with me is great.
So, if you could indicate some more different softwares i would be very happy. I was looking for some app that gives me data that I usually need old fashioned tables for, like steam properties, or fluids porperties at different conditions. Also, what is the best unit conversor, that allow to convert combination of units. And I believe that there could be even other ways to take advantage of my device.
So, I'm waiting for your opinion and indications.
What I can indicate is Space Time, an amazing calculator for advanced calculations, and Math Tablet that would retire my HP calculator if my device's screen could be more responsive. Also, Lexisgoo is a great dictionary to get god definitions for english terms.
Thanks... best regards
Im a computer engineering major (finishing up second year) and i use it to basically take pictures of circuit designs and email it to myself for view on computer. Im very sloppy by hand
Chemistry Bible, sounds like a good software for [email protected]
http://www.vasantham.net/chemistry.htm
Thanks ekw!
This software should be good for chemical scientists, or at least it would be if I had my PDA on the beginning of the graduation...
Chemical engineers are actually concerned more about industrial process conditions, (transport of energy, mass and momentum) and fluid/solid conditions, most of them physico-chemical. Old school chem. eng. would use a lot of tables for various data.
And I bet you could use more your device. It is at least much more powerfull than any other pocket calculator you have.
At the risk of sounding old...I use the HP48GX calculator emulator on my Hermes. I even have all my custom programs from college installed. It also has the default Engineering Library with basic formulas and diagrams. After some years in the industry, I can tell you I pretty much just use Pocket Excel and the HP48 scientific calculator. I also use Outlook tasks to document everyday activities (very important in today's workplace...) and synchronize them to the PDA to have the answers handy, in case I run into one of those manager types.
What would be cool is to run LabVIEW and Matlab on my PDA. Then I would be invincible

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nice!
I've tested some HP emulators... but i've found that they're not so usable since the screen is smaller and the response from the touchscreen is also slower...
I've found other scientific calculators for the PDA that are better, like Math Tablet...
But on class i'm still using my hp 28S calculator (now, that's OLD, it's almost my age but it's still a very nice to use calculator.) that I've got from my brother. Actually, I got my PDA instead of buying another graphic calculator.
Pocket Excel (or better, PlanMaker) is definetly one great tool too, I've used several times already. Matlab and Maple would be awesome, but I've read somewhere that those ARM processors aren't the best for math procedures...
I've just finsihed my Mech Engineering. During my course I mainly used my smartphone for a pendrive. Also for my project guide to check up on my project report using Word and Adobe(not the entire thing of course .) I've demoed a few CAD drawings on it as well. Used the engineering calculator quite a few times. I've video taped a few practical sessions as well for future reference.
Now I'm planning to do my Msc in IT, so bascially I have the C# IDE running and also the MySaifu J2SE JVM, so I can basically test my programs on the go.

OpenSudoku for android

Hello,
I want to announce just another sudoku game for android: OpenSudoku. You can install it via Android Market or download installation package from project's homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/opensudoku-android/
Main motivation for me in creating this game was to learn android's SDK and also existing sudoku games didn't meet my requirements (but honestly I haven't tried them all ;-).
Feature highlights:
- Preloaded with 90 puzzles, you can also enter your own puzzles.
- Optimized for control by finger and keyboard.
- Game time tracking and history.
- It's open source.
Any feedback is welcome.
One thing I would love for a sudoku game is instead of a screen popping up with numbers to choose from is have them already laid on the bottom of the screen. A good sudoku app I've seen for the ipod is like that and also makes the numbers unclickable when you have used them 9 times. The only thing I would change from your app is the aesthetics from the beginning menu. Good start!
New version with multiple input modes
Thanks for your feedback. As you've suggested, I've added support for multiple input modes - now you can choose whether to use popup or numbers in the bottom of the screen.

Algebra Solver App

Algebra Solver will help you solve mathematical equations instanly.
This program includes the following:
-1st degree equations with one unknown. (e.g. ax+b=c)
-1st degree equations with two unknowns. (2 variables)
-1st degree equations with three unknowns. (3 variables)
-2nd degree equations. (e.g. ax^2+bx+c=m)
-3rd degree equations. (e.g. ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=n)
NEXT UPDATE: Will implement integrals, logarithm, derivativeness. trigonometry
Very cool well done
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
nice and cool app.
keep going!
looks great, I am working on a Physics calculator. how are you finding the math classes in c#, i'm new to the language.
Thanks, exactly what my second app is, just submit the physic yesterday, working on a game app now which is my third app. For my math I just use "Math.xxxx" (Math.Pow for power, Math.sqrt for square root) should be pretty straight forward in the selection menu. Hope this helps and good luck with you app!
thank you very much

[Game] HexAnnex - [R] 6.12.2011 - [V] 1.2.0.0

Name: HexAnnex
Description: HexAnnex is a desk strategy game. Every turn the player places number on a free field, surrounding fields owned by the player will increase its value by one, surrounding fields owned by the opponent will be taken when their number is smaller than placed number.
The goal is to have the sum of the numbers on your fields bigger than opponent.
In the last version it gets more interesting - you have more numbers and you choose which one you place, but in the end you still have to place all numbers you've got. Currently, the opponent is always AI, but with three different difficulties.
Download: windowsphone.com/s?appid=484a05c5-cdd8-478d-957a-1daac3191ada (as it is my first post, I cannot make it as link )
Please, post any suggestions and feedback you have, I am starting with WP7 development and I would like to make it as good as possible
As soon as I will be able to make external links, I will add also screenshots )
I was saw you working on it at MS-Fest
Great work!
Yes, that is true, I was developing AI there
Thanks
