uKoo

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Sobo

uKoo (“uku”, Hawaiian for Gift or Reward) is an NFC application for a Digital Loyalty Rewards Card. You can’t get any closer to an actual Punch Card than this.

Only 2 things needed for uKoo… An Android Phone and an NFC Tag (Very Cheap, you can get 20 (NTAG213) for $20.00 on Amazon) You can download a Free NFC Tag Writer like NFC Tools (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc) and write the text to the tag. No expensive hardware or Internet based tracking software required. You can’t get any closer to an actual Punch Card than this.

As a Store Owner you would program a Tag with your Store Name. Here is a quick video that demonstrates how to Write an NFC Tag, they are showing how to Write a URL to the tag, but doing Text is the same concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtzMie4U8RM FYI, this is not my video.

As a Customer, you would download the App and Tap the Tag to register it with the app and get your first Credit.

Each Tap on the paired NFC Tag earns 1 credit. Once the “FREE” item is redeemed, the card clears to start over.

Only 3 icons needed to customize for your store. Not Punched, Punched and Punched Free. You could use a Coffee cup, Sandwich, Ice Cream Cone, Car Washes, Oil Change, Muffins, Haircut, … You get the idea; the possibilities are endless, you could even offer 666casino.com/sv/games/classic games.

Store Owner – Program NFC tag with your Store Name – It would be best to write another TAG that has a link to the uKoo App on Google Play ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soboapps.punchcard ) as well to make it easy for your customers.

Do you want it personalized? Please contact me to discuss.

The customer would install the app and Tap the NFC tag. The Store Name will automatically be displayed.

Just a few example of what could be customized

OhFark (Farkle) 2.x

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Sobo

device-2015-09-05-081443 OhFark Single Player Mode is Here!!!

Thanks for everyone’s patience while we worked on this. We wanted to give you the best experience possible.

We took a slightly different approach to the Logic behind the “Android” player. Rather than putting a bunch of logic looking for the best possible score, we looked at was currently on the board and made decisions based on the current score on the board. I’ll explain…

If the current difficulty level is set to “Easy” the “Android Player must have at least 300 points AND have a Minimum of 2 Dice Remaining on the board before it will “Score” and pass the dice back to the Human Player.

“OR” If the Score is at least 400 points, regardless of how many dice are remaining, the “Android” player will “Score” and pass the dice back.

The logic was that on “Easy”, the “Android” player would take a little more risk and have a greater chance of Farkle-ing making it easier for the Human to win.

The remaining Medium and Hard levels are setup as follows…

If the current difficulty level is set to “Medium” the “Android Player must have at least 350 points AND have a Minimum of 3 Dice Remaining on the board before it will “Score” and pass the dice back to the Human Player.

“OR” If the Score is at least 400 points, regardless of how many dice are remaining, the “Android” player will “Score” and pass the dice back.

As you can see the Medium Level takes a little less risk.

If the current difficulty level is set to “Hard” the “Android Player must have at least 300 points on the board before it will “Score” and pass the dice back to the Human Player.

And again, as you can see, when set to Hard, the “Android” player takes very little risk.

Things that all 3 levels do check for and will not score on unless it meets these Scoring levels such as the Get On Board score, the Winning Score (If it’s the last round and it needs to beat the Human player) and it also recognizes when it has rolled “Hot Dice” and will always rolls again.

OhFark (Farkle) 1.9.8 – Crash after Update

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Sobo

device-2015-05-15-115134 We recently updated OhFark to address a bug in the “Six-of-a-Kind” options. This fix required us to make some changes to the preferences which may cause OhFark to crash for those coming from an earlier version. If you are experiencing this, please uninstall and re-install OhFark.

I am a lover of gun games, also lately I have been collecting accessories and toys. I found after hard work looking for Agent47 Silver Ballers gun, it’s a replica identical with the logos and everything. I acquired it and I think it’s amazing, you can go and see it, it’s really amazing.

We apologize for the inconvenience but this was unavoidable. Thanks for understanding and as usual, if you wish to help make OhFark even better, please join us over at github. https://github.com/soboapps/OhFark

Photo Vault (AKA… ToDo List)

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Sobo

512 - Copy

Photo Vault is a fully functioning “To Do List” application that has a hidden purpose… Hide Photos.

Photo Vault is a very unique app as it allows users to Hide Photos that you don’t want others to see from your standard Gallery application. It’s unique because it is also a fully functioning To Do List that as a bonus, also has a fully functioning “Hidden” To Do list.

If someone does get a hold of your phone and accidentally finds the Hidden area, you can show them a Hidden To Do List by entering an alternate PIN, all the while they have no idea that it is really hiding a “Hidden Gallery”.

Another indispensable feature is the “Quick Escape”. If you are looking at your Hidden Gallery and someone approaches and you need to get out fast and you do not want to make it obvious by shaking your phone, simply click the Volume rocker to quickly change the image to either the Default Quick Escape image or one of your choosing.

Features include…

* Functioning To Do List
* Alternate Password (If someone does long press the icon you can show them a “Hidden To Do list” by entering an alternate PIN)
* Inconspicuous To Do List icon
* Functioning Hidden To Do List
* Quick Escape – Shake the phone to bring up an alternate image
* Quick Escape #2 – a less obvious escape… Press the Volume Up/Down key to bring up an alternate image
* Transfer image to Hidden Gallery from Standard Gallery and auto delete from Standard Gallery
* Import from you Standard Gallery to the Hidden Gallery and auto delete from Standard Gallery
* Restore image to Standard Gallery
* Delete permanently from Hidden Gallery
* Swipe between Images
* Pinch to Zoom with Panning
* Double Tap to return image to normal size for easier swiping.

Yes this uses a Hidden folder and it is NOT encrypting the images. I have lost way to many images with applications like this and hated it. If the App is removed, the images remain.Using this method the images are unharmed and CAN be accessed via a USB cable and the knowledge of knowing where to look.

OhFark – aka “Farkle”

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Sobo

I just publish my first Game.

Farkle is a fun dice game that can be played by the entire family! Watch it, it’s addicting!

OhFark is a dice game that has also been called or is similar to 1000/5000/10000, Cosmic Wimpout, Greed, Hot Dice, Squelch, Zilch, Zonk, or Darsh to name but a few.

OhFark is played by two players, with each player in succession having a turn at rolling the dice. Each player’s turn results in a score, and the scores for each player accumulate to some winning total (usually 10,000).

At the beginning of each turn, the player rolls all of the dice.
After each roll, one or more scoring dice must be set selected.
The player may then either end their turn and bank the score accumulated so far by passing, or continue to roll the remaining dice.
If the player has scored all six dice, they have “hot dice” and may continue their turn with a new roll of all six dice, adding to the score they have already accumulated. There is no limit to the number of “hot dice” a player may roll in one turn. If none of the dice score in any given throw, the player has “farkled” and all points for that turn are lost. At the end of the player’s turn, the dice are passed to the next player and they have their turn. Once a player has achieved a winning point total, the other player has one last turn to score enough points to surpass that high-score.

This was created with the help of Open Source. Thanks “Mikgonz” where ever you are!!
