Baldscone was recently contracted by Stereo Creative to produce an app (actually two) for an Emirates event at the Confederation Cup in Brazil.
The two iPad apps collected data for a goal kicking competition around the stadiums and a second app collated all the data from multiple ipads into a single database to draw the prizes and view/export user data.
Here is a screen capture of the two apps in use (that was used for tutorial purposes).
Baldscone recently produced a mobile recruitment app for HCA. It features a fully custom built GUI complete with animation, image manipulation, and full camera and photo library integration. The app was built as a cross platform app and as such is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Baldscone has recently finished developing the second installment of the mobile game Alpaca Farm for Pomegranate. The latest version of the game now has an additional four levels of different gameplay, character customisation and in-app purchases. It is also now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
On the iPhone the game was coded natively in Objective C using the very useful Sparrow framework. For Android, Sparrow’s little brother Starling was used to port the game across using AS3.
The app features in-app purchasing, particle effects, SSO Facebook integration, inbuilt stats collecting and of course plenty of new gameplay levels and GUI goodness. Watch the new teaser video game trailer here or check out the app’s Facebook page here.

Baldscone was involved in coding the front end Flash interface for this Facebook hosted charity campaign for Breast Cancer Care. You can see it here.
The site enables you to upload or take a webcam photo, adjust and crop it and then add elements to it to “turn yourself pink!”. You can then download the resulting image or share it via Facebook or email.
As part of a promotion for Innocent Drinks, Baldscone was asked to develop this online competition experience for kids to explore. Using pack codes from drinks packs, kids can enter three different competitions. This richly animated site has areas for uploading photos, viewing submitted entries, information packs on different seeds and even its own weather system.
From a technical perspective it hooks into a number of databases to enter kids into the various competitions and also uses a few techniques to save user data across various sub-domains.
As this site was a temporary promotion it is no longer live – see here for a video of it on YouTube.
Baldscone was recently asked to help port this existing Flash site to Facebook and add Facebook integration. Users can use their Facebook profile images to upload photos and create new characters then interact with them.

Baldscone was recently involved in developing an exciting Facebook Game for Innocent Juices. Games such as Flight Control and Harbour Master on the iPhone/iPad were the inspiration behind this game where the user has to navigate fruit pickers to deliver their fruit without them colliding.
Technically this game uses a custom written 2D vector physics engine to control the Fruit Pickers and line drawing algorithms involving some serious geometry and line smoothing calculations. The game was written with several optimisation techniques and hooks up to a securely encrypted back end over HTTPS and Javascript. Quite a game to work on but so far its proving pretty addictive! how people are scoring over 600 I have no idea – I only ever managed about 180!
The promotion ended but here is a screen capture for prosperity.
Baldscone was asked to produce a multi-language brochure and software browser for cross platform distribution. The brochures can be constructed and published easily using a well thought out authoring system which allows for full localisation of text and images. The software launches software and Adobe PDF documents bundled and distributed via CD-ROM or USB stick.
Baldscone was involved in developing this Facebook competition for Innocent Juices. Based on the classic slot machine and with a fixed number of prizes drawn from a database the competition ran for a short period of time. PHP back end and Flash/Javascript front.
Baldscone recently completed some Flash work for the Innocent Juices kids website (@ Holler Digital) including this quick little flash game from scratch in just over a week.
