Checkup

Checkup for the iPhone and iPod Touch gives a quick overview of your device and runs some basic diagnostics testing the CPU, memory, GPS and accelerometer.

The CPU, memory and storage are checked using a variety of speed tests. The CPU is tested using null ops and square roots. Memory tests include memory copy and memory allocate. File write speed and file read speed test Storage.

The accelerometer can measure velocity in three different directions. These directions are X (left/right), Y (up/down) and Z (front/back). The accelerometer diagnostic can measure velocity for your iPhone/Touch. It also determines the orientation at the same time – portrait, landscape left, landscape right, face up/face down and upside down.

The GPS test will display your current latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and course heading. This is a convenient way to see your location for logging purposes or to determine accuracy against a dedicated GPS unit.

Tetrasling is a modernized and out of this world game of flying blocks. Addictive gameplay utilizes a solid color 3D block architecture, intuitive accelerometer based rotation, and touch screen tracking. Game board color and banking orientation varies depending on the movement of your device. Game sensitivity can be adjusted in the options menu, as well as the addition of  a game board grid to help make it easier for you to see the blocks.

How to play:

The gameplay of Tetrasling is modeled off the popular game Tetris™. Stack the blocks together to complete a full row, at which point you will acquire points (multiplied by the current game level, and speed with which you completed your drop) and the row will dissapear. You can knock out up to four rows at a time. The objective is to keep the game board clear as long as possible.

• To rotate the piece sling the top of your phone to the right or left depending on the direction of rotation.

• To move a piece use your thumb to drag it around from any point on the screen.

You can adjust the rotation sensitivity if you are having difficulty with the accelerometer. If it is not working for you, the accelerometer can be disabled at which point you will rotate the pieces by tapping the upper left or right portion of the screen. Tap three times to toggle the interface.
