BoulderBot is your personal bouldering Spray Wall setter, tracker and organizer. Challenge yourself and find new inspiration by using the experimental Procedural Generation algorithms, quickly creating an infinite number of new climbs on your wall! You can customize parameters like Difficulty and Length to create problems suited to your needs. The generation algorithms are experimental and under active development, but even if they don't produce perfect results, you can immediately edit the generated problems in a few seconds (which is also a great way to improve your setting skills). You can also easily create your own custom problems from scratch. Problems can be saved for tracking your progress and logging ascents, and functionality like searching, filtering and sorting is available to find problems for your training sessions. ADDING YOUR WALL An interactive wizard procedure will allow you to add your wall in the application, guiding you in specifying all required information (this procedure will take around 5 to 10 minutes): - An image of the wall (specific instructions are given to ensure the best generation results) - Attributes like height and angle - The position of the holds on your wall, and their relative difficulty rating This procedure needs to be performed only when you add a new wall or reset the current one. Once a wall is added, all other functionality (like generating problems, or creating them manually) is immediate and takes no extra set up time. An in-app help system is also available if you have any doubt about the application. The application supports Home Climbing Walls, Spray Walls, Woodys, and Training Boards. The generation algorithms work only on generally flat walls which can be pictured in a single image; highly featured walls with many different angles, corners and roof sections are not supported at the moment. NO MANDATORY INTERNET CONNECTIVITY The Application can work completely offline: you can choose to use the App without an account, making the image you select and the Boulder problems you create all stored on your device's internal storage. PROBLEM RULES The boulder problems should be climbed by starting with both hands on green "Start" holds (either one hand per hold if there are two holds, or with both hands matching the single hold). Blue "Hold" holds can be used with both hands and feet, while yellow "Foot" holds cannot be touched by hands. The problem is considered complete once you hold for a couple of seconds onto the red "End" holds (either one hand per hold if there are two holds, or with both hands matching the single hold). DISCLAIMER Climbing is an inherently dangerous activity. Climbs shown in the App are random in nature, there is no guarantee about their safety, quality or correctness, please always judge the safety of the climbs before attempting them.

Introducing ShotBot, the easy-to-use app that tracks your basketball shooting progress. ShotBot combines artificial intelligence and computer vision technology with the camera in your smart phone or tablet to gather and store useful data about your basketball shooting sessions. Simply set your phone down on the side of the court and start the app to begin tracking your progress. Each shot you take is converted into a single image that captures it all: your release form, your launch angle and speed, the path of the ball, the result (make or miss), the shot location, and other useful stats. Past sessions are reviewable at any time. A graph of your session history shows how your past sessions compare to your current one. You can even load an old shooting video into ShotBot and it will analyze it as if it is live. Have a session or shot you are proud of? ShotBot has a built-in share function that lets you easily share with your friends or coach. Designed with convenience in mind, ShotBot stores your data in the cloud, so you won't lose it if you get a new phone or accidentally delete the app. It also lets you sync your data across multiple devices, so you can record a session with your phone and review it later at home on your larger-screened iPad. If you are a basketball player or coach, this is the app you have been waiting for! Use it to find out your shooting percentage, or to see the areas on the court where your shot needs to improve, or to learn if your release angle is too low. If you are a coach, you can actually get proof that your players have gone home and practiced. You can even use it to keep score in a pick-up game! Find out how ShotBot can help your game today! The app is free to download and use, and it will allow you to record a limited number of sessions. For a small one-time in-app purchase fee, you can capture and review unlimited sessions and games. Try it now!
