Using design patterns that embody important architectural design principles, such as separation of concerns and loose coupling, Prism helps you to design and build applications using loosely coupled components that can evolve independently but which can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the overall application.

Snake - 'Beta' for Compact Framework 2.0

Feeling bored that I didn't have a snake game on my phone, I wrote one for it. It just took me a day to write it and another day to polish and refactor code. There's nothing great about the features. It's just a simple snake game like the onez you 'used' to get in nokia 3310 phones, which is almost extinct nowadays.

However on the technology side,

there are two things i could accomplish.

1] I wrote a double buffering mechanism without utilizing any libraries or using DirectX. Yes!, This sample runs on plain and elegant 'winforms'. I've also used a separate mechanism to control the frame rate of the game / render loop () :-).

2] I used Asynchronous programming to smoothly fire off a pseudo-random generator , while the render loop continues in the same thread.

snake - 'beta' (simply because there aren't any great features and i don't intend to put any, unless i find myself awake on a summer night at 3am and completely jobless)

Universal Translation on the fly!

'Compadre suite', a universal translation software developed by a company called SpeechGear provides unbelievable translations from speech,voice and images on the fly supporting 200 languages bidirectionally!!. really impressive! , The compelling part of the software is, it lets you speak into it (obviously through a mic) and have your speech translated into 'text' of a foreign language on the fly and also reads it aloud. (i.e back to speech in a foreign language) Now, for enterprises to adapt to such a thing might still sound naive because of the reasons best known like translation errors due to lack of voice training , pronounciation differences etc.

However, what really caught my attention was the interpreter bit of the software suit which runs on Windows Mobile Pocket PC!!. The 'Interpreter' on your Pocket PC can come in handy if you are in a foreign country, travelling abroad, or simply wanted to converse with a foreigner. It's versatile in that it provides voice commanding over text input.
