After Sliding8 is launched, you will be presented with the splash screen and four buttons at the bottom (in portrait mode) or the right side (in landscape mode) of the screen. It is recommended that you play the game in portrait mode as this makes the number buttons larger and easier to press.

Tap anywhere in this box to close it. After this box is closed, you can click on any of the buttons to start a new game.
Note that it is also possible to start a new game while the dialog box is still visible.

A Quick Guide to Using SimpleIRC

akinwale — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:38:37 -0400

When you launch SimpleIRC for the first time, you need to configure your nickname and add a server.

Settings Screen
This is where you set your nickname, alternate nickname, username and real name.
To access this screen, press the Options key and select Settings.
1. Enter a nickname (required) in the Nickname field.
2. Enter an alternate nickname (optional) in the Alt. Nickname field
3. Enter a username (required) in the Username field.
4. Enter a real name (optional) in the Real name field.

Servers Screen
This is where you add and edit IRC servers that you wish to connect to.
To access this screen, press the Options key and select Servers.

Adding a new Server
To add a new server, open the Servers screen, then select Add from the Options menu.
This will bring up the Add/Edit Server screen.
1. Enter a name for the server (required) in the Name field.
2. Enter the server's host name or IP address (required) in the Address field.
3. Enter the port number for the server (required) in the Port field.
4. Enter a password for connection to the server (optional) in the Password field.
5. Press OK once you are done to take you back to the server list.

Connecting to a Server
1. Open the server list (Options > Servers) if you have not done so already.
2. Select the server you want to connect to from the list of available servers. If you have not yet added a server, select Add from the Options menu.
3. Press Options and select Connect to take you back to the main screen and connect to the server.

Additional options after connection
Once you have successfully connected to a server, additional options are available in the Options menu on the main screen.

Connect to [SERVER NAME]
This becomes available after you connect to a server. [SERVER NAME] is the name that you specified for the server. Essentially, it's a quick access option that enables you to connect to the last server you connected to if the application is restarted, for example.

Disconnect
Selecting this will disconnect you from the IRC server you are currently connected to.

Names
This is available only when the current active window is a channel. It displays a list of all the nicknames currently in the channel.

Close
This is available when the current active window is a channel or a private message window. It closes the current window.

User Interface Navigation with the keypad on non-touch input devices
It is possible to navigate the user interface using the direction keys on the keypad.

If the currently focused item is the text area, you can use the up and down keys to scroll up and down respectively.

If the currently focused item is the tab bar, you can use the left and right keys to scroll down respectively.

You can use the up and down keys to switch focus between the tab bar, the text area and the text input field. Note that when the currently focused item is the text area, you will need to scroll to the end in either direction before focus is switched to the next item. This behaviour will be improved in future versions.

plpgsql Language Support Required

akinwale — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:09:46 -0500

Our modification requires the PostgreSQL database to have plpgsql language support enabled. Usually, this is enabled by default, but I have come across some installations that don't have this option enabled.

There are two ways to do this, but you have to have superuser access to the database that you want to modify.

1. Running it as a query in PostgreSQL
CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql

2. From the command line (Unix-based environment)
createlang -U postgres plpgsql

Where postgres is assumed to be a superuser account, and is the name of the database where you want to have the plpgsql language enabled.

For more information, you can have a look at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-createlanguage.html

About IP.Board PostgreSQL modification services

akinwale — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:02:18 -0500

This is a service we're offering to owners of IP.Board licenses. It involves modifying your copy of IP.Board such that the backend can work with a PostgreSQL database.

We would have provided a PostgreSQL driver which can be installed by anyone, but since the IP.Board license prohibits distribution of code derived from the existing codebase (the driver pretty much derives from the default MySQL driver), but allows users to modify their installations, we resorted to doing the necessary modifications for the users.

We are still waiting for word from Invision Power Services concerning distribution of a driver. If we get approved, then we will have the PostgreSQL driver for IP.Board available for purchase. For now, however, we carry out the necessary modifications for you for the advertised fee.

Please do not hesitate to post any questions or comments you may have concerning this service.

Cheers.

What's this about?

akinwale — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:31:14 -0400

Hi,

My name is Akinwale. I intended for rigfoundry.com to be some sort of repository for useful personal projects that I complete (I don't finish a lot of projects) and release. Since I've been too lazy to develop a proper site, I've resorted to using forums for now since it'll give me a chance to interact with people that use these apps and tools. This is experimental and hopefully it works out so that I don't have to build a web site afterall. :)

I maintain a blog as well for those who are interested.

Enjoy.

Javascript Date Picker

akinwale — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:24:17 -0400

This is merely a simple date picker control written in Javascript which allows the user select a date from a calendar. There's a demo online and it's absolutely free to use and modify to suit your needs. I plan on making a couple of improvements having to do with month and year selection.
