I am happy to FINALLY announce my first iPhone application, Happy Peg, now available on the iTunes App Store!

Happy Peg is based on the classic “peg game” that you likely played/saw in a restaurant. Its a simple concept that will keep you hooked for hours.

This version takes that classic game and adds the ability to resume a game if you get a call or decide to close the app. It also gives the ability to assist you while you play using simple hints as a guide to possible moves. You can even try to beat your best time completing the game using the in-game timer. All of the custom options (timers and hints) can be enabled/disabled in the Settings.

The application was built using Flash CS5 and the iPhone packager. I am not able to speak about specifics at this time but I can say it makes creating apps a much simpler process compared to Objective-C. For more information and tutorials on creating iPhone apps in Flash please follow Scriptplayground on Twitter. Once I am able to post code and tutorials I will have a complete guide with steps to create Happy Peg and learn the techniques to use in your own apps.

Since I have gotten something like 30 spam requests and emails about things I have twittered (from random people), I have decided to follow the others and lock my timeline. It was also because my “tweets” appear in various searches/feeds.

In other twitter news, they upped the API call limit and just in time for things like “Twitterific (iTunes link)“, now available at the Apple App Store.. so now I can update you all on my random comments/thoughts while on the road.

If for some reason you have to hear what I’m talking about, please feel free to send a request.

Update: I also privatized my social network profiles for the same reason.

I just noticed that Apple has lowered the cost of iTunes Plus songs to the standard 99¢. This is a very interesting step forward in Apple proving that DRM is a waste of money and time. All it really does is hurts legitimate users that really like technology and have something like 10 devices that actively play Mp3′s.

Now if we can just get the RIAA to focus on good music and stop blaming the decline of sales on piracy, when it is obviously the crap they produce.
