Expectations
Buck says, “Having used Cincom Smalltalk for years, I knew exactly what to expect from it: rapid development, mature and powerful tools and integrated version control. Cincom Smalltalk delivered on all of these expectations.”What is HexSolve?
In the game, you slide numbered hexagonal tiles around on a board. If you make a chain of consecutive numbers, the highest-numbered tile increments and the remaining tiles disappear. One or more tiles are marked as “targets.” The goal of the game is to advance or eliminate all of the target tiles. There are many puzzle games in the mobile marketplace. However, according to Buck, “By providing the game for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and for Android, we have access to a market of over 1.5 billion mobile devices. Now that we’ve proven the technology with HexSolve, we’re using the same framework to build other games.”Why Cincom Smalltalk?
Buck says,Find out more by reading the story below:“It wasn’t a difficult choice! We did a few initial tests with Java and C; however, Java code isn’t portable to iOS, and C code was much too difficult for complex applications. We really needed a better cross-platform development environment and automatic garbage collection. Cincom Smalltalk was the best tool for the game.”
