Hey everyone,

 

 

For the last year and a half I've been a busy man working on a Mobile Game for Android and iOS. The name of the game is Bocu.

From my Google Play description:

 

 

You must download this game! Why? Bocu is a challenging Puzzle Game. All you have to do is get the ball into its same colored hole. Sound easy? Let's see how clever you are.
 
Make sure you are quick and don't let those stars run out! Challenge your friends to see who gets the best time and makes the Bocu Leaderboard!
 
My Wife wrote that because she said my description was boring lol. I admit it's far more exciting now.
 
 
 
How do I get it?
 
 
ANDROID:
 
 
IPHONE:
 

Paid Version: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bocu/id969945177 ($0.99 USD.)

 
 
Note: Bocu is 50% off for a limited time.
 
 
Why should I get it?
 
Well, I made a game I knew I wanted to play. Basically something to keep me busy for minutes at a time while I was sitting on a "chair", thinking. This game really is quite fun and unique in my opinion. I put a lot of heart and soul into it and I truly hope that shines through.
 
 
 
Thanks for reading, I really hope you enjoy it!

I think that I had the honours of been the first person to download to download the free Android version :)

I must admit I have played the first 20 levels and enjoyed it. I thought the game was going to be quite hard at first as it appeared like there was a fair bit to take in on the tutorial levels, however I feel as a player i've been eased in to the game gradually. It seems quite easy to pick-up and get in to.

 

The only suggestion I have is very minor, maybe get the player to set their name before starting to play. I didn't realise I was one of the random guest people on the leader boards until a few levels in to the game.

 

Other than that everything seems fine to me I certainly plan to play some more tomorrow when i'm less tired. I also think this is exactly the type of game my mum would love so ill be sure to send her a link to it. Best of luck with the game!

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I'm glad that you're enjoying it. I don't want to be the one to tell you it gets way harder, so I'll just imply it lol. I'll see if I can work a way into setting a name when you first start, that's a good idea.

 

 

Congratulations on being one of the first to play the free version!

 

 

P.S.  I've heard that every time you tell your friends about my game a puppy is born. You like puppies, don't you?

For marketting reasons I cannot disclose those figures. Every one just play it safe and download it.

 

 

 

If it's not to much to ask, can you please port it to Windows Phone?

 

Hmm, never really thought of that market. I'll see what I can do, shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm just finishing up some Apple stuff and then I'll look into it.

You're missing out in my opinion. Not just because of my game, there are quite a few fun little games on mobiles.

 

I know there are good games for mobile....  I have tablets for movies/internet surfing. That's what I have been doing these days.

Then why did you click on this thread? :huh:

 

 

I was making a joke...  relax.  :p

A big thank you to all of you supporting me, maintaining visibility on the App Stores is a mission all in itself! I've had a lot of fun doing this though and will do it again!

Now that all versions I wanted available, are available, I'll start working on some updates and my next big project.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
