Swarm Multitouch is a simple graphic application featuring a swarm of particles moving around the screen in a moderately organic pattern. A counter on the lower right of the screen allows the swarm to be divided into as many as nine independent swarms. Moving your finger around on the screen will cause the swarm to follow your touch. If you use multiple fingers on the screen at the same time, the swarm will break up and a portion of the swarm will track each finger. A "settings" screen allows modifications to swarm size, appearance, and behavior. This is my first iOS application so please, be kind.
Gravity Type
This app transforms typing into a playful physics sandbox. You can type letters and emojis, then manipulate them with realistic physics, including springs, strings, and collisions. It's a fun way to interact with text for those who enjoy a less conventional approach to word processing.
- Real-time 2D physics
- Letters and emoji with mass
- Springs, strings, and collisions
- Copy and paste functionality
- Eraser tool
