How to background load and cache UIImageViews images It's often the case that the apps I am working on are required to download quite a couple, or even a few dozen, images and display them in a UIImageView. In looking online I found a few different methods...

Well, I updated the S2000 again, only this time it wasn’t for performance, rather it was on appearance. :wow: There is still a few things I want to get done, but for the time being I’m “finished” mucking with it. Time to get to the track and step on the gas :)

The engine bay came out really clean! I also had the front hood customized & re-painted along with the front fender and both front side fenders (as all three had various dents, scratches and other unsightliness).

I see very few after market hoods that I like, and good fitment seems to be a mostly miss in all cases. Instead, I had mine customized, which ended up costing about what a good custom hood plus paint job (don’t like the CF look) would have cost.

I had a pillar pod setup on my first install, and really hated it; blocked too much of my view (esp. during an autocross!) and advertised “boosted” too loudly. So, a bunch of custom work later and I have something that looks very much like it could be stock. I like.

Fortress Luna on Hot List!

Fortress Luna today appeared on the App Store “What’s Hot” list, which is pretty exciting stuff for me! While I have worked on other iPhone apps that have done well and appeared in various lists, this is the first “independent” title that has done well enough to earn such a distinction.

The entire Red Sword Studio team, as well as the Primus Team deserve a solid round of Kudos for their efforts on the title. A special Kudo to Omar for doing such a great job on the art!

OK, back to work, which no so coincidently involves updating Fortress Luna :)

PS: be sure to go and check out Fortress Luna on the App Store!

After a slight delay caused by a confusing app store icon, Fortress Luna has been approved and gone live in the iTunes App Store!

Fortress Luna is a simple, yet addicting game that is ideal for casual players. The objective is to protect the earth from incoming asteroids, by firing missiles from the orbiting Moon. It was developed by a group of talented developers I work with, Red Sword Studios.

The gameplay is based on Darrel Dearring’s remix of classic arcade gameplay elements from Missile Command and Asteroids. The games uses true 3D assets coupled with some really nice background art, making it easy on the eyes as you fight to save the earth and all of humanity.
