Off topic - free Android game - Gem Genie

Hi all,

Disclaimer: This post is not about FotoSketcher, but if you have an Android phone or tablet you might be interested.

Just for fun, I recently wanted to learn Android programming and I have just finished a small (and not very original...) game which is available on Google Play.

You can get it for free (no ads, no in app purchase) here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.embarcadero.GemGenie

The app is a classic match 3 casual game (à la Bejeweled or Candy Crush), but obviously much more basic. Still I find it enjoyable so if you feel like it, why don't you try to beat the high score :-)

Here are a few screenshots:



  
Have fun,

David

Watercolor example, made with FotoSketcher 2.70

Hi all,

Here is a watercolor of my hometown Lyon (or Lyons) made with FotoSketcher 2.70 (click on image to see in full size).

The original photo was taken by photographer Mouhamad BZOU http://www.facebook.com/m.bzou.photography.


Before you ask :) I'm sorry I did not save the exact parameters I used, but I remember that I first ran the Painting 5 effect, then pressed F12 (to use the resulting picture as a new source) and then I ran the Painting 1 effect with color blending set to a high value (e.g. 160) and strength of effect to a low value (e.g. 5).
With FotoSketcher, experimenting is key!

All the best,

David
