Discover Our Apps (RG Cryptage)

another episode of Discover our Apps! , and in today’s episode, we going to look at RG Cryptage, your all in one solution to crypt your messages and have some fun and maybe some serious privacy too! :p , before i get started with the review i just want to tell guys that:

                                 

You have to try it and see yourself! LOL

RG Cryptage, what is this App?

    

RG Cryptage is a simple app that let you crypt you messages, it uses 3 different levels, Easy, Medium and Hard

in Easy

         

it turn the text into this: nameerF .rD dlrow olleH (hard to read but still readable)

in Medium

        

a bit more complex like this: obnffsF .sD emspx pmmfH

and in Hard

        

Totally unreadable :p like this: ҽҰҼҴҴҡҔӲӼҡҖӲҷҿҡҢҪӲҢҿҿҴҚ

Using the App is so easy, just write down (or past) the text you want to encrypt, then press one of the 3 mode of encryption (Easy, Medium or Hard) and that’s it :p

to decrypt a text (like when you get a secret message from your friend ) you go to Decryptage in the main menu

                            

past your encrypted text

           

Click on the mode the text is encrypted in and Thats IT! :p ..

i really enjoy playing around with this app, it can be really fun sending and receiving encrypted texts with your friends, or like in a chatroom (to look like a boss .. no one understand you but only the people you know)

Imagine Cup Moments: Meet Infernal Team (Game Category Winners)

    

 

Infernal Team, game category winners in Imagine Cup Local Finals 2013

who are they ? ,how the team was founded ? and more about their game “IV”, let’s discover this great team and learn form their success story

so Infernal Team, when did it start ?

Infernal team was founded in spring of 2003 by two students B.Kedjour and D.Machouk, the first biggest interest of the team was in 2d animations (using Macromedia Flash, now Adobe Flash” and 3D map modeling (using valve hammer editor) after that the team start having interest in “BASIC” and “JavaScript” language and made some mini games at the time.

The team members kept learning and polishing their skills in many areas such as programming languages (C / C++), 3D design programs (modeling / animation in 3DS MAX), Photoshop and in many other programs.

In Summer 2009 the team set their big challenge, make a real 3D game based on an entirely new engine made by them, after a long research and discussion on which programming language is best for the task, they ended up choosing C# for its simplicity and its powerful tools such as “Microsoft XNA Game Studio”

the first prototype “called IV42” was only in 2D, it was made to test the game mechanics and see if the idea works, it took a whole year after that for “IV” to see the light, the 3D version.

shortly after that, the team participate and won first prize! in XNA Game Challenge 2011.

          

after that the team start focusing more in learning and making Windows Phone 7 applications,

in 2013 two new members join them

and after a long absence Infernal Team came back this year and participate in Imagine Cup 2013 and won first place in game challenge category!

in few lines this is the whole story of the team.

Discover our Apps (PrayTimes)

Never miss a prayer again with PrayTimes! by Haddouche Yasmine, i absolutely love this app man!,its so unique, and … just not another prayer times app (we’ve seen a lot of them, and they look all 100% identical) , i really feel PrayTimes bring something new to the table.

     

so .. let’s get right to it, and see why this app is so unique

when you open the app, it will ask for your permission to use the GPS to locate you (if you were using a windows 8 tablet), you press yes, and the prayer times of your region show up as follow:

            

… did guys you notice something just yet ? .. how many steps we gone through ? .. LOL, yeah! your set up!! its just That SIMPLE! no need to go through any menu’s or anything, it do the job automatically!! (ok .. some of you will say, oh .. those are simple menu’s asking you for your country, city and bunch of other simple stuff) .. i say yes, but for an old person or someone who’s inexperienced, even going through such menus seems to them as nightmare! .., some people just want to click and get everything up and running, and that’s exactly what this app is about!

if you were using a PC (no GPS) you still can find your city either by using this menu:

                      

or using Bing Map!

                       

this is how you use Bing Map, first, you can navigate through that little box or better click once on it to get the bigger mode

  

find your city (for example: médéa)

  

one click on médéa, you get back to the first page

   

and you’re DONE!! .. in any place in the world, you got your prayer times with you.

you can change the date (for example you want tomorrow’s prayer time) here :

      

also you can use the share feature available in windows 8 through the right menu (when you slide form the right using a tablet, or take your mouse cursor to the top right in PC)

          

          

you can share the next prayer time on Facebook, twitter or Email (as i did)

and finally by closing the app, you still got this :

           

as i said at the beginning.. i really love it!, i never see features like this in any prayer times app i pass by in the past, Simple and Unique .. is the best description for PrayTimes.

Haddouche Yasmine .. GOOD JOB!

Discover our Apps Series ^^ (1er: El WATAN)

A new blog series I’m starting today, intended to highlight and show the work of our local Algerian students through all the DevCamps and let you discover all the apps we’ve been doing

so for today I’m going to talk about one of the very well build apps we’ve done, “El WATAN for Windows 8” by Amine Iratni “former MSP”

         

First i have to say this, this app is a must have!, great for everyday use, let you browse and read all news in perfect elegance and simplicity on your windows 8 device, also offers really cool features and functionalities, I’ll go though them right away,

after opening the app, in the first page you’ll find the 4 main categories “Actualité, Sports, Economie, Monde and culture” in each category you see the latest news and articles .. you can click “voir plus” to see more articles about that specific category

           

for example: when clicking “Voir Plus” on “Economie” category you see the rest of the articles like this :

           

by “right clicking on the mouse” in PC (slide form the top in tablets) you’ll see this list where you can browse news by region or hebdo,

           

you can also click “Ctrl + mouse wheel back” in PC (pinch to zoom back in tablets) to get this menu which has the same functionality

          

ok .. ,let’s say you click on a specific article and found the text too small for you to read ? well … No Problem! ,you can adjust the text size easily! just by clicking “right mouse” in PC (slide form the top in tablets) through this menu

         

you can also bookmark “Epingler” any article you want,so you can find it later in the favorite section on the start page of the app.

         

and my most favorite feature in this app is “the offline reading!”, yup .. you can actually BROWSE ALL NEWS OFFLINE!, the app updates the news whenever you’re connected to the internet,  so for example when you wake up in the morning, you open the app to update “take just few sec’s”, then when leaving your home heading to work, you can re-open it on the bus “for example” and browse and read all the news without having to connect to the internet!.. !

Great Great App guys, Recommended to everyone, you must try it out ! to download it Click

                                                       HERE

Please Rate, Share and Support this app!

Thanks a lot! and see you soon on the next of “Discover our Apps”
