Alpha version of FUILauncher released for Windows Mobile

by Brad Linder Jul 30th 2007

Flash developer Jason Jaegers set about to create an iPhone-inspired (but not duplicated) program launcher for Windows Mobile. A few weeks ago he posted some pretty pictures, and this weekend he released the first public alpha for download. The working name of the program is FUILauncher, for Flash user interface.

Here's a few things you need to know:

You'll need Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6, Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1, and the Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 player to run FUILauncher.
The tabs that show unread voicemail and e-mail are not yet activated.
There's no indicator yet for what page you're on.
Once you create an icon you can change it, but there's no mechanism yet for deleting it.
You can't yet configure the permanent buttons at the bottom of the screen.
And there's no easy way to stop the server process without performing a soft reset on your device.

In other words, this release is for early adopters only.

This looks great - we had a few people asking about something similar iver @ our website AskTheAdmin. Hmm when it is a stable beta release we would love to have our users test it out and post an article.

Until then I am downloading it for my wm6 Dash (cingular)

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
