Had lots of fun at iOSDevUK.

Excellent conference with some really interesting talks.

And I even managed to give a talk! My slides along with notes can be downloaded from here. It’s all about making real time multiplayer games using GameKit and GameCenter.

iOScon 2014 - Stoked to let you know I'm part of the team organising the first ever iOScon 2014 with SkillsMatter! Be quick and snag an early bird ticket for a mere £95! Jam-packed with the brightest minds in iOS development and design, this is your golden chance to keep ahead of the curve, explore new techniques, collaborate and grasp new technologies. Don't miss out on the unique iOS hacking weekend!

Raspberry Pi BTLE Device - Just wrapped up the first iOSCon hackathon and had a blast tinkering with my Raspberry Pi, turning it into a full-fledged Bluetooth device in sync with an iPhone app. Used node for setting up and Bleno for creating Bluetooth low energy peripherals. Penned down each step for you to replicate, right from writing strings on my LCD to reading temperatures and getting notified of IR remote button clicks. Ran it on an app store or GitHub test application. Also, explored the Core Bluetooth framework for iOS app creation, for reading and writing data to the Raspberry Pi. Let's keep creating magic with technology!

Tablet+iPhones = Console+Controllers - Here's the concept: your iPhones turn into wireless controllers and your tablet is now your console, all thanks to gamekit. It's a whole new way of gaming, reminiscent of the Wii, or using your devices for interactive card games. Interesting eh?

Getting started with Box2D - Just gave a enlightening talk on Box2D at the LiDG and have prepared a step-by-step walkthrough on creating a simple pinball game using the open sourced 2D physics engine! You'll learn the concepts of Body, Shape, Friction, etc. as well as how to build and run the Box2D engine for iPhone. By the end of the blog, you'll be equipped to create a basic working game in a couple of 100 lines of code! Don't forget to check out my slides and demos linked in the blog!

Creating an OpenGL game for both the Palm and iOS - I've made a triumphant return to the blogosphere with the release of my new game, 'Tanks!' developed for Palm Pre/Pixie and soon for iPhone devices. The game, an experiment to learn OpenGLES 2.0, is a testament to the feasibility of porting C++ or C code from iOS to Palm PDK, despite minor challenges with UI interaction and audio. So gear up, folks! Download 'Tanks!', step onto the battlefield and let the mayhem begin! Next stop on my coding odyssey - Android!

MakerCast Episode 33 - In the latest Makercast episode 33, tune in to watch makers share their impressive projects including an 8-bit pipeline CPU with integrated VGA, expertise in Arduino and ESP, nerdy entertainment with gadget creation, and the world's smallest ESP32-development board - the TinyPICO!

Streaming Video and Audio over WiFi with the ESP32 - In this video, we dive into a hardware hack combining several components to create my version of the TinyTV, complete with a remote control, and video streaming over Wi-Fi. We challenge the speed of image display, using different libraries and tweaking performance for optimal results. We explore Motion JPEG or MJPEG to decode and draw images quickly, and even reach about 28 frames per second. We also catered audio using 8-bit PCM data at 16kHz, and deal with syncing both video and audio streams. Finally, we add some interactive elements allowing us to change channels and control volumes, with a classic static animation thrown in for good measure. There's a few hiccups along the way, but that's part of the fun, right?
