Based on my experiments with the weather mod, I came up with this one, download here. It grabs the rss feed from one of your shared public lists.
You could use for shopping lists or just a nice way of getting your todo’s into your pocketmod without writing them down.
Step by step instructions:
My kids said that the last maze maker was too easy. Here is a new one, micro maze. It will generate a smaller maze. You can still use the original for the younger children.
I had a break-though in my Pocketmod ( PocketMod is a standalone flash player) module programming experiments. I have away to have user customized mods. Here is my first one in the series. Weather forecast, download the swf and modify your xml. Here are the rules:
Hopefully the next version of wordpress will allow me to post xml snippets better.
It’s a little large for a pocketmod, because of the graphics and the fact the fonts are embedded (for print rotation).
That is pretty much it. This pocketmod generates a new maze each time you reload it. Uses maze algorithms to generate maze. Download it from the site and grab the xml for your flash PocketMod app.
Here is an example below of a maze generator in one line of code by John Tromp. It hard to see from the post, but the code spells out the word “MAZE”, incredible. Visit his site for more details.
char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[40],T[40];main(C){for(*J=A=scanf(M="%d",&C);
-- E; J[ E] =T
[E ]= E) printf("._"); for(;(A-=Z=!Z) || (printf("n|"
) , A = 39 ,C --
) ; Z || printf (M ))M[Z]=Z[A-(E =A[J-Z])&&!C
& A == T[ A]
|6<<27^rand()||!C&!Z?J[T[E]=T[A]]=E,J[T[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}
(I had to change one character to get wordpress from “eating” the code. It was the caret in front of rand on the last line, it was supposed to be a <)
Sorry for missing a few posts, but I was working on a new design and layout for my PocketMod website. I will be adding a few more next week and decided to give it a face-lift. It was a pain to create a new graphic for each entry. Now it is a bit plainer but, easier to maintain. Plus it now contains a xml snippet to paste into your file.
We have been making a few short weekend car trips with the kids lately. So I put together a few PocketMods for them. I have the standard sodoku, tic-tac-toe, and capture the squares games. I usually make booklets full of each game. I made some new ones last night. Battleship, you know the one, using paper grids. The other one is called Circuits, be the first to complete the circuit by connecting your dots to make a path.
I just uploaded two new PocketMods for car maintenance, add them to a booklet, print it out and keep ithe glove box of your car.
Added another PocketMod today. This one is a simple drawing of wiring an ethernet clip, based on the T-568B standard. The only reason for using that standard is because I had some other network cables that were the same already. Everytime I need to make a cable I do a search on google for the diagram. So I decided it was about time to create a PocketMod for one.
PocketMod is a small handheld booklet that you print out and fold. A very handy disposable organizer. It is a flash program that allows you to print mini pages on a piece of paper, so that you can refer to it later. You can make of book of Sudoku to keep you busy in line at the DMV, or a weekly calendar for appointments.
Here is list of some PocketMod Modules that I have made.
The forums are down so there is not a good way to distribute these. I had fun making them. Just download the offline player and copy the downloads into the folder. I hope someone can make use of these.
