Camera Tutorial is a free and simple Pygame tutorial on how to draw objects at an offset, giving the effect of a camera.
Cameras in games are quite easy to implement. To people new to programming they may sound hard and intimidating, but all it is is simply drawing an object at an offset.

Backgammon for the iPhone is a native version of the well-known game that you can easily play on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
Main features:
- 3 levels of play: You can select the level for comfortable playing vs. iPhone(iPod Touch)
- Play vs. iPhone (iPod Touch): The game includes 3 levels of play. In the free mode only level 1 (beginner) is available.
- Play vs. Human: Use your device as a small backgammon board and play with friends. In this mode controls and texts for the second player are rotated by 180 degrees.
- Portrait and Landscape board view: Select preferable orientation of the game board.
- Undo movements: Cancel made movements and play again.
- Play match: Score is accumulated until the match length is reached.
Advanced features : These great features are available only for donating users.
- Doubling cube
- Resign game or match
- One-tap movement: Tap the checker and it will be moved according the rolled dice.
- Auto Save game on exit: The application automatically saves current match on exit. On the next startup you can select either to load the saved match or start a new one.
- Dynamic touch area adjustment technology: Implementation of this great feature allows much easier way for selecting the checker and the target position. How does it work?
- Without this technology the tapping area for selecting checker is quite narrow and requires very accurate touching.
- In most cases checkers have free position (without checkers of the same color ) in one or both sides. In this situation the touch area for a given checker is expanded to the free side and becomes wider. On positions next to borders there are always free spaces.
- The similar technique is used for defining touch area of the target positions.
- Currently this feature is realized only in Landscape view. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users. Please test it and feel the difference!
- Highlight target positions
- After selecting checker for the movement, the game shows possible target positions according to the rolled dice. The targets are highlighted using green color. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users.
- Autoroll. Turning on this feature allows the game to roll dice automatically without waiting you to tap Roll button.
System requirements:
- iPhone or iPod Touch

Enhancements
- Return to the main menu from the game window and back,
- Bug fixes.

Cocoa 3D Tutorial will provide a Cocoa framework to interface the OpenGL library in a more OO-fashioned style. It is not meant to be the fastest code possible, nor to leverage all the power of OpenGL, but to give developers a easy way to start working in 3D.
NOTE: Cocoa 3D Tutorial is licensed and distributed under the terms of the Artistic License.

Main features:
- A scene tree, with cameras (one for each view) that can be easily positioned and oriented, and lights.
- Object picking, that allows an interactive manipulation of the scene.
- Factory classes for common objects (cube, sphere, cylinder, ...), groups and transformations.
- Basic OpenGL optimizations (e.g. display lists)
- Full support for OpenGL colors and materials.
- Static textures (read from a graphic file or generated from a styled text), animated textures (read from movies), procedural fixed and animated textures (using configurable Perlin 2 & 3D noise).
- Full support for ARB_vertex_program extension, seen as a special type of texture.
- An animator class, that allows to easily add dynamic components to a scene.

Enhancements
- Added StringTexture class
- Added AnimatedProcTexture class
- Added PlainSurface class
- Added InteractiveView class
- Corrected and updated some class behavior
- Updated Tutorials to use new classes
