I now have seven applications in the Windows Phone marketplace so I thought I’d give you a quick rundown. You’ll see that it’s not quite as impressive as it sounds since some are sort of duplicates.

Cascade Skier This is my most successful app, and by successful I mean that I have about 500 downloads. That’s not a lot, but I’m pretty happy. If you ski in the Pacific Northwest, you need this app. I have a whole page devoted to it’s features and it includes a YouTube demo. The short story is that you get hourly weather updates for all the local resorts and webcam images. It also makes use of the live tile feature of the Windows Phone platform to show current stats and the webcam in your live tile for your favorite resort. The webcam as part of the live tile is a recent addition and isn’t shown in this screenshot yet. http://cascadeskier.studio711.com/ [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3] [Screenshot 4] [Screenshot 5] [Screenshot 6] View in Marketplace |

DiamondStats The first app that I sent to the marketplace was DiamondStats. I didn’t really think anybody would buy it but I’ve sold about 15 copies. When I play rec league softball, I like to keep my stats, but I don’t like trying to remember them during the game because it takes my mind off what I should be doing. With this app, you come back into the dugout, easily mark what happened and you’re done. It keeps track of your total stats over various games. It’s nothing fancy but it was a good learning experience and something that I’ll use. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] View in Marketplace |

Puzzle Toolkit The idea for this one came from a couple guys at work who are very involved in PuzzleHunt. This app is one stop shopping for puzzle clue solving. It provides a variety of tools to help you solve clues related to braille, zodiac, Chinese zodiac, maritime signal flags, binary/hex/decimal/octal/roman numerals, ciphers (Vigenere, RotN, substitution, Atbash), resistor codes, semaphore flags, morse code (including ambiguous morse code with dictionary checking), and ascii conversion. While all the other apps are $0.99, this one is priced at $3.99. I split out individual parts of this toolkit and they’re available for $0.99 each as separate apps. There is a separate page for this application with a little more information and a YouTube demo video. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3] [Screenshot 4] [Screenshot 5] View in Marketplace |

Ambiguous Morse This is part of the Puzzle Toolkit. You can type in a serious of dots and dashes without spaces and the app will figure out all the possible translations of that series. Since that can get big quickly, you can filter just by words that are in the dictionary. a reference page helps you go from letters to morse.

Braille Translator This is part of the Puzzle Toolkit. As you start filling in the dots, it tells you what the current dot pattern represents and also tells you what other letters could be formed if you added more letters. A reference page helps you go from letters to Braille. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3] View in Marketplace |

Ciphers This is part of the Puzzle Toolkit. It will help you encode and decode Vigenere, RotN/Caesar, substitution, and Atbash ciphers. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3] [Screenshot 4] [Screenshot 5] View in Marketplace |

Semaphore Flags This is part of the Puzzle Toolkit. Set two arm positions and see what letter it represents. Set a single arm and you’ll see what letters can be formed with that position set. A reference page helps you go from letter to flags. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3] [Screenshot 4] View in Marketplace |
