MovingBoxes and PolySolve

So now about the two applications I have released so far. I won't say they are the most complex and most useful applications ever released, but compared to fart apps... never mind.
So the first one is a game, it is called MovingBoxes. I must admit the idea for this one is not mine, I have came across the JavaScript version of this game numerous times while wandering the web, and always found it to be amazingly simple yet fun. As the original game cannot be played on the iPhone, I decided to rewrite it from scratch. It was my first meeting with OpenGL ES on the iPhone, yet it wasn't hard to code it. I have added difficulty levels, random "map" function to the original idea, and highscores are in the works now (it will be submitted to Apple in a few days).


Then there is PolySolve, which was kind of like a personal project that I later decided to release, as I found it to be pretty useful in a number of situations. It basicly allows the user to solve polynomial equations - not just quadric or cubic, but with hight exponents like x on the power of 100. It gives both real and imaginary solutions. It can come handy when one has to do a lot of calculations and wants to cut some corners.

Well, they might not change the world, but they are still pretty decent applications. Enjoy!
