If you are building iOS applications and using SVN you may have had issues getting your @2x resources for Retina Display Support added to svn. I used the command line on Mac OSX and I figured I could just use the standard backspace escape.. no dice. This turns out to be caused by internal path recognizers in svn. It expects the last at symbol to specify a revision. You can get around this by adding the symbol at the end of your file name. So if you are trying to add Default@2x.png you would do it like this

$ svn add Default@2x.png@

If you have a number of files to add you can save your self some time by taking advantage of the unix tools available. The following command would add all the images in the directory

$ svn status | grep '^?' | grep @2x | sed -e 's/.png/.png@/' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add

You can than commit them all by using this

$ svn status | grep -v '^?' | grep @2x | sed -e 's/.png/.png@/' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn commit -m "add images"

Hope this helps..

Shut The Box for IPhone

Posted June 2nd, 2010. Filed under Applications IPhone News

This iPhone/iPod version of the classic game Shut The Box, also known as Zoltan Box, Tric-Trac, Canoga and Klackers, is a highly addictive that combines luck and skill for a great experience. The basic premise of the classic game is that you are aiming to clear the board in the fewest number of dice rolls.  You roll the dice and select any combination of number tiles that equal your roll. But don’t let the somewhat mundane description fool you, it takes the right combination of lucky rolls and number tile selection to garner the best scores.  In addition to the classic scoring TwistByte offers a special Shut The Box twist, our very own High 5 version that adds multiplier bonus for clearing the tiles plus bonus rolls when you roll a double.  Also includes Social Networking features that allow you to publish your high scores to Facebook to challenge your friends!
