TouchComic 1.6 Update

Hi All,

I decided to add some requested features into this this release.

The changes are:

1) "Kinetic scrolling"
2) Option to select drive AND FOLDER (comics can be stored on any drive AND FOLDER now)
3) Proper Icon instead of Python default (this wasn't requested)

To enable change one I had to remove the ability to "slide" pages, so to move to next or previous pages you should either double click to the left or right of the screen (5800/n97) or use the left or right keys (n97 only)

You can download it here:-

And don't forget to make sure you have the 1.9.7 run-times.

This release *SHOULD* still work fine on 5800 but I haven't tested.

Thanks

Slayradio...

Hi All,

I'm still awaiting a S60 5th edition version of internet radio so in the mean time I decided to make a quick Slayradio player for my N97.

Slayradio is (IMHO) the best internet radio station EVER, playing a constant mix of the best C64 remixes.

Its still a very early version, it has little or no error checking, and you use at your own risk but...

If you want to use it you can.

Please note this was written in Python and so requires the latest runtimes, tested successfully on 1.9.7.

BoomShine S60 Game...

Hi All,

Just a quick note to say I was playing a great game by Danner Miller the other day and decided it would make a great N97 game, So I contacted Danny and asked his permission to do it.

I wrote the entire thing from scratch but kept the look and feel exactly the same as the original version.

I've added a leaderboard function so if you wish to submit your score once (or IF) you complete the game you will receive worldwide recognition of having too much time on your hands :)

The game can be downloaded HERE

and the Leaderboard can be found HERE

A huge thanks to Danny for letting me use his original idea, and please check out the original version of the game here: www.k2xl.com/games/boomshine/










Enjoy,
Jamie

Some stuff from the archives :)

Hi All,

nothing new i'm afraid, in fact these little gems are 14 years old!

I found some old stuff I created back in 1995 for the C64 and have recorded some video and uploaded to youtube.

Anyway, enjoy!



and also

TouchComic 1.5 Update

Hi All,

Due to the release of version 1.9.7 of Python and to take advantage of my new N97 I decided to make a little update for TouchComic.

The Changes are:

1) Configuration Files moved to C:\
2) Option to select drive (comics can be stored on any drive now)
3) N97 Key press support (Left and Right to switch pages, select button to toggle menu)
4) Automatically move to next/previous CBZ file when flipping last page.
5) Fixed to work with latest python run-times (1.9.7)

You can download it here:-

TouchComic 1.4 update

Hi All,

Thanks for all the positive comments etc, I have tried to include a few of them in this release.

There are 3 main new features in version 1.4, they are

1) Double-tap the side of the screen now to also skip pages
2) Index page (found under navigation menu) this shows a list of all files in the zip so you can skip to it easily
3) Hidden file mode, now you can hide comics from prying eyes, for example I have some very violent comics which I would not want my kids to see, but they often use my phone to read futurama comics, this function allows me to hide certain files unless the software is "unlocked" with a password.

To hide a .cbz all you need to do is rename it to .abz, the software will no longer see the file, until you unlock it using the unlock menu.

You can change the password to something other than the default, which is "password" once you unlock the system.

You can manually 're-lock' the files for opening or simply shut down TouchComic when you next open it will be locked.

Obviously this is not a 100% secure method of protection but it is simply designed to separate access for certain files.

You can download it here:-

And don't forget to make sure you have the 1.9.4 runtimes. Some people have had problems with dependency errors with 1.9.4, but I found after installing, simply reboot your phone and the errors stopped.

Touch Comic 1.3

Hi All,

As recently announced, PyS60 has been updated to version 1.9.4, this caused problems with TouchComic, also a few people had problems installing the 1.9.3 runtimes, so hopefully this update will cure those issues.

This version also adds a basic search function, which searches the filenames contained within the CBZ file.

You can download it here:-

And dont forget to make sure you have the 1.9.4 runtimes.
