Cricket Australia Umpiring Guide

Working as co-founder of Deepbase Creative in Melbourne Australia, Baldscone played a major role in designing, developing and coding this commercial software for Cricket Australia to help train cricket coaches. It is now featured as a kiosk version at the National Sports Museum in Melbourne.

The cross platform software was coded entirely by Baldscone using Flash and Director. It features many interactive learning tools, anti-piracy measures and is fully updateable.

Temple of Boon

As part of the 2005 World Cup cricket cmpaign we were asked to come up with a game for the VB Boonanza doll promotion. We ended up going for a Donkey Kong style game where Boony has to get the World Cup trophy by climbing the scaffolding at the MCG and flicking a few switches along the way. The game was coded in AS3 and took around 2 weeks to produce.

It was originally hosted on the Cricket Australia site but has since been taken down after the promotion ended. I have a link to it here hosted on my server if you wish to play it just click on the preview image above.
