Software
I've written a few apps that people seemed to like, and maybe they are still useful so here they are. These are pretty old programs, but I'll still answer any questions regarding them if you want to email me. The source code is included or available under either the GPL or some other Free license in case this code might be useful.
The Cheat
This first app is a universal game trainer for Mac OS X--it let's you cheat games. I spent most of my time on this little gem compared to anything else here. It's the best program of it's kind (in my opinion), or at least it was back in the day. It's got some nifty features like networking via Bonjour, different types of variables, etc. I'm not sure how relevant these types of trainers are today, but you can probably still do some nifty things with it.
- Download The Cheat 1.2.1 UB -- I haven't tested this, but thanks very much yadgor for the UB!
- Download The Cheat 1.2.1 -- PPC only. This is the last 'official' release.
- Download The Cheat 1.0b1 -- The first release ever (I think). Might be interesting for historical purposes.
- Download the latest source code for The Cheat
- Read a tutorial on how to use The Cheat -- Featuring Tux!
According to yadgor, you must issue the command sudo sysctl -w kern.tfp.policy=1 from the terminal if you're using The Cheat with an Intel Mac. Also, some users have determined that The Cheat will not work at all on Leopard, so be aware of that. Support for this software is now non-existent, so hopefully you can figure it out as The Cheat is known to have a high learning curve. Be sure to read the documentation because it's really good!
The Edge
This is a tiny desktop utility card game modeled after King's Corners. Nowadays, something like this would probably be best written as a Dashboard plug-in, and it wouldn't be difficult either. This small app took me a couple hours to program. I made it because I like the card game, and I was learning new parts of AppKit (Cocoa). It's kind of fun.
- Download The Edge 1.3 -- Source code included; it might be a good example of using NSMatrix.
By the way, Andrew Smith did all of the icons and graphics. He's a really amazing level 27 dark photoshop wizard; you can visit him at his blog which he may or may not keep up-to-date.
