iPhone / iPad

Apometre
In Romania we keep inventory each month of the consumed water, I'm glad to say that this is the first and maybe the only app for this purpose. It uses CoreData to keep the database and CoreGraphics to draw the graphic.

The Deals
Universal iPhone/iPad app that connects to a server and display offers. It uses JSON and crypted requests. Made at MBDragan.

Zero Blood Alcohol
An iPhone app to calculate in how much time you'll be sober after drinking alcohol. Natively made for iPhone, and for Android through Haxe and NME.

Hello in any language
The largest database in the world with translations of the word "Hello". People can see, hear, record and share hellos, a great way to learn or to have fun. Check it's website.

ValentineApp
iPhone app made for 2011 Valentine's day.

Face Reading
Your face is an intriguing combination of genetic structure, environmental influence, and marketings caused by repetitive expression. It shows the world who you are, how you have felt, and what you are likely to feel again. It also shows what you have done and potentially where you can go. The drawings were made by Mihaela You can buy the universal iPhone/iPad app from iTunes for $1.

Graphology book
This is actually my first iPhone app, back in 2009. I made the drawings when i started to learn flash many years ago, I draw them with the line tool in flash, they are around 600. Yes, this mens a great deal of time but I enjoyed it and released a flash version of the book at that time. No plans to release it in AppStore as I don't have rights on the content.

Games

Prevent Fires
Game done for an exhibition in the Science Museum of London. The goal is to place tools on a building floorplan and to save all the people when the fire starts.

Whack the agency
The name came from all that whack a mole games, but all the characters are from the agency I was working at that moment. Photos made by me with a fisheye lens. Play it here

Products

cocos2d-haxe
cocos2d iphone framework ported to haxe. You could basically build games for flash with the same coding style and principles like you'd do for the iPhone. Work in progress, check it out here

sdk.ralcr
The Haxe crossplatform framework my projects are based on. Widely inspired by Objective-C language. Some classes are compatible with the flash and javascript target, some are on their way to become. It supports the Haxe NME library with which you can build native iPhone, Mac, Android, WebOS, Windows applications with the same base code.

IMAGIN
IMAGIN is my heart project. I started programming photo galleries from my beginnings in flash in 2005. I called it IMAGIN in 2006 and released it as a free software. Right now i'm at version 3 beta, one release for iPhone/iPad, plans to release a HTML5 version and a new Flash version with plugins.

Mac

DEXOffline
dexonline.ro database taken offline for Dictionary.app, Leopard and Snow Leopard. The project started as a question from the romanian macuser community, and i said why not to try? I was prepared to work much more, but ended up to be quite easy. What i've done is the conversion tool for sql to xml, then the xml is converted to Dictionary.app plugin by apple tools. Made with haXe and Neko (SqlToXml)

Flash / Haxe

Celebre friends
This is one of the coolest projects i've made. It's a video player that can display some other heads over the heads of the actors in the movies. Multiple technologies involved, AfterEffects to track the eyes of the characters, Neko to parse the tracking points, and haXe to build everything, including the crop tool for the faces. Too bad it didn't saw the light of the day but you can see it here.
