Alf makes putting an interactive talking character on your site a fun and inexpensive experience. Alf is Flash, which means it will run in virtually every web browser. It is also text file based and so can be installed on any server configuration.
Alf "speaks" recorded sound in wav or mp3 format, which is pre-processed to generate seamless lip synchronization. Its response patterns can be programmed in a simple syntax called Nascent Artificial Intelligence.
Alf works with a character template system and is fully customizable: face, mouth, text fonts, colors, backgrounds, text-decoration, heights and widths can all be set to your preferences. The interaction interface also includes an optional 0 to 5 item menu system to present your user with input suggestions.
Alf is easily configurable to a non- interactive character (but why would you want that?) and runs in your own server space, so there are no monthly fees and no limits to your audio streams.
Main features:
- Can be installed anywhere (text file based).
- Easy 3 step install.
- Works with any web browser. Extensively tested with IE, Firefox and Opera.
- Download new character templates or make your own templates from a master template. Design your own faces and mouths. Add eye and head movement if you like.
- Use existing wav or mp3 files for your bots voice or record your own.
- Program your bots responses with Nascent Artificial Intelligence.
- Fully customizable interaction interface: font faces, colors, sizes, italics, bolds, underlines, text field x and y coordinates, heights and widths, border colors and background colors.
- Fully customizable 0 to 5 item menu system.
- Configurable to a non-interactive talking character.
- Runs in your own server space, so no monthly fees and no limits to your audio streams.

Requirements:

Most games require you to move your character through the board, but not in RatMaster -- here you move the board! Help your rat reach the cheese by shifting and sliding pieces of the maze -- opening up new paths and shutting down others.
Thats how it begins, but puzzles progress in difficulty and add new challenges as you go. Watch out for snakes, electric fences, gates, rotating paths and more as you find keys, unlock doors and overcome increasingly fiendish puzzle designs!
Full version features :
- Unlimited Play
- 72 Mind-boggling Puzzles
- 8 Special pieces
- Keep track of your best times
- Over 200 in-game hints

Are you studying a new language? Your class notebook is an endless list of words that you have to learn? You remember that your teacher told you how to say a lot of useful things but, can you find them in your notebok?
Keep Your Word will allow you to build your own dictionary, grouping and classifying the terms exactly how you want to, while helping you to learn the longest list of words thanks to its different exercise modes.

Main features:
- The basic item that can be added to Keep Your Word is what we call "A Word".
- Keep Your Word supports all the character sets that your Mac supports, so you can write any world in the world.
- Dont forget to tag your words, and add comments to them. You will understand why later, when you will start looking for them.
- You can add new words to the main library, or directly to any of the default categories that Keep Your Word provides you.
- Those default categories are "Adjectives", "Substantives" and "Verbs", but you can modify, reorder, delete or do whatever you want to them at any time.
- If you do not feel comfortable using a hierarchical organization, just group your word using Smart Groups.
- Smart Groups are quite similar to iTunes smart lists. You decide what you want to have in a Smart Group (words containing one character, containing one tag, created in a date range) and Keep Your Word groups them for you.
- Never loose track onf any of your words again.
- Groups and Smart Groups can get very crowded, so use the built-in search field to find what you are looking for. It includes your tags and comments in the results.
- We tried, I swear, but we could not develop an application that could learn for you.
- So, to help you learn all the words that you have so carefully added to Keep Your Word, the application provides three "Exercise modes".
- "Flash Cards" is a quick exercise, where you are shown a word in the "other" language, and you have to recognize it.
- "Quick Quiz" is, well, a quiz. You are shown a word, and two possible meanings, and have to identify the correct one.
- Finally, in the "Printed Test" mode, you can print a random list of words, in the "other" language, in "your" language, or in both, so you can do written tests.
- The three "Exercise Modes", get the content from the category that is selected in the moment of launch. So, you can do exercises only with the words that you tagged with "food", or the words that you added to your dictionary in the last week.

Enhancements
- New exercise: Bingo - You can print all you need to set up a word-bingo game: a call list, containing all the words in a given category (randomly ordered), and as many cards as you want, each of them containing up to 36 words picked from the same category.
- Multi-line cards - The flashcards can show more than one line of text. Also, the text rendering engine has been modified to produce sharper text.
- Growl notifications - Keep Your Word fires Growl notifications related to all the main events of the iPhone/iPod Touch sync process.
- More Smart Groups criteria - Both the value and the description of the "extra texts" assigned to any word, can be used to declare Smart Groups.
- Graphs - Added a first batch of graphs, in the "Other metadata" section of the Word Inspector. More to come soon!
- Bug fixes and usability improvements - Fixed some bugs related to the iPhone sync, the validation of the layout configuration, and the flashcards navigation. Added keyboards shortcuts to create "extra texts", modified the way folders are created, and reorganized the Exercises menu.
