Solipsism Gradient

It took more time than I thought, but here’s the second public beta for RB App Checker Lite.

The UI looks better, the text is zoomable, it parses in-app purchase receipts, and many bugs have been fixed. It will also run on the 10.8 developer preview 2. Please check out the product page for details.

As before, this beta will run for 60 days from today (build day). Still missing:

• Printing (well, it works but not well)
• Better help text
• Online updating

Please send feedback! There’s a convenient “Email the Developer” menu item in the Help menu just for that.

In the same vein as A Kerning Game, this test makes you drag around bezier control points to make characters look optimal:

Shape Type

This is trickier than the previous one, since you have to consider what the style of the font might be like. (They tell you the name of the font but I suppose looking it up would be cheating…). I scored only 81 out of 100.

Been some time since I posted a test and this one is rather specialized:

KERNTYPE a kerning game

You must drag the middle letters into the optimal position – the leftmost and rightmost won’t move. It’s been many years since I played around with font design, and so I scored only 85 out of 100.

This is just to assure you, faithful reader, that I’m alive and well. (And also to make a test post, since I’m twiddling with the underlying software.)

post some interesting topic guys

I seem to have boarded the latest bandwagon du jour. They seem to come at progressively shorter intervals these days – the last one was just two days ago. In other news, serious work today has again been successfully averted…
