Happy to announce the launch of this new iPhone app produced by Amblr for the Wellcome Collection. I did some editing of the audio and wish I was in London to try it out! 

The 'Magic in Modern London' iPhone app is a treasure hunt set in Edwardian London. It focuses on the amulets collected by Edward Lovett featured in 'Charmed Life' and his investigations into folklore and superstition.

Retrace Lovett’s steps, using evocative audio and images which bring his London to life, as you search for the exact location where each amulet was collected. Retrieve each amulet to unlock its story as told to Lovett, and complete the set to reunite his collection.

'Magic in Modern London' is free and is available from the iTunes app store.

Its always fun bringing the graphical vision you have for a game or mobile application to life. But its not always strictly just fun.

Java is one of those weird languages that was easy to set-up in the beginning but now due to specializing in mobile the time to set-up a project takes longer.

Today I was making some changes to set-up 3 variations on acceptance testing. One of them being cucumber, one being JavaMonkey run using Sikuli-ide and one using python MonkeyRunner.

I did not bother setting up a full apache ant build script because all this is being execute via my Eclipse IDE. It is just easier to do it that way so that I can move fast in coding.

Thus, what is left on Monday is drop in my AndroidProjectLibrary full of UI libraries and drop in the libraries for the Cucumber test project and than I can add some basic UI code Monday evening and do a test run on the UI.
