The mobile controller for S-ARGAME gaming platform that include the visual calibration tool and the mobile touch gamepad. S-ARGAME is a spatial augmented gaming platform, where the games and experiences are projected on walls and buildings using a standard Mac/PC and a Projector. In order to calibrate the image, and control the games, users can download the iOS S-ARGAME Controller app and connect to the running local server (a local Mac/PC connected to the projector), using a throw-away authentication code. After the connection the user can both access the calibration function, which uses the mobile device internal camera to take a picture of the wall and performs image recognition on the server, as well as controlling the games with a virtual gamepad displayed on the mobile device screen.

Your grandfather's mandi house is yours now. Seat the guests, fan the charcoal, and get every platter out while the rice is still steaming. Mandi Manager is a hand-pixelled isometric restaurant sim set in a Gulf dining hall โ sufrah mats on the floor, a clay tannour in the back, and a living city outside the door. COOK THE REAL MENU Chicken mandi, chicken kabsa, madhbi, lamb mandi, madfoon and zurbian. Every dish has its own ingredients, cook time and price. Stock basmati, hawaij spice, lamb and charcoal at the morning market โ run dry and guests walk out. RUN THE FLOOR Tap a party to seat them, tap a ticket to cook it, tap the tannour to fan the coals. Serve while patience is still high for a PERFECT rating; perfect runs build a streak, and streaks build tips. Guests wearing a gold crown are VIPs โ they pay more than double, and they wait for no one. BUILD THE HALL More sufrah mats, more tannours, better decor โ and an upgrade level on every piece. Grow from a corner room to a hall that seats the whole neighbourhood, then hire chefs, waiters and cleaners who keep the service running while you are away. FIVE STARS Daily tasks, an end-of-day report, a reputation that decides which guests turn up, Game Center leaderboards and 12 achievements. BUILT TO BE PLAYED ANYWHERE Full English and Arabic, including right-to-left layout. Pinch to zoom from the whole city down to a single platter. No ads, no accounts, no internet needed โ and every pixel is drawn by the game itself, not a single stock asset.
