Product Review about SpacePig in ATPM
08/05/08 12:26 Filed in: Media Showcase
"SpacePig isn’t modern or complicated, and it doesn’t require much thought. Sometimes, however, that can be a good thing. If you’re looking for a somewhat silly arcade-style game that’s relaxing rather than frantic, give SpacePig a try."

"MacPinball is, overall, a good pinball game, as computer games go. It does a fine job of emulating the essence of the pinball experience, as much as one can expect it to do so on a laptop or desktop computer."

We are very proud of the new feature contained in this version: Shot Saving Capability.
Now you can save your last shot as a Flash animation, yes, "animation" not movie, and this means that the generated file is very small (60K-80K), so now you are able to record your best shots and share them by email or even post them in webpages because Flash is the standard in web animation.
This was one of the most demanding developments so far. Flash files are very complex, they don't waste storage space, therefore we were forced to work at bit level in order to generate a Flash compliant file from within MacPool.
