Despite the name, it is not a game about mice who enjoy living in researchers' coat pockets.
From the store description:
This is, for now, a pretty basic application that does only one thing:
help you perform a manual white blood cells count (aka "CBC”)
Peering into a microscope, you tap large buttons to increment neutrophil, lymphocyte, etc. counts.
When you reach 100, the app warns you and you can choose to continue for a more precise count or use the current numbers.
The app comes with a global ‘Undo’ function to go back as many taps as you wish.
I may add more features to this app, beyond CBC, as requested by my S.O.
I will likely add preferences as well; for instance to change feedback sounds, add vibrations, etc.

Hmm, interesting.
This could be useful for me, as I do manual counting of bacteria on plates.
I also do Yeast, Mold, Spore counting... as well as hospital Air Vacuum Cells.
Not sure if I'm allowed to use this App (there's a No Phone Policy here).
But here's one feedback I can give you:
- Make the columns customizable.
So that I can change the text for Eosinophil to Cladosporidium etc etc.
This way it can cover many laboratory functions, not just blood cells.
It'll be a true "White Coat Buddy".
; )
CSF cell count on a burker/fuch-R camera!
ideas:
on preferences select what cells to show in counting screen (maybe only interested in mononuclear/poly nuclear)
IMHO Should show %distribution after 100 counted cells (or 50 if defined in preferences)

I think some homebrewers would be interested in this kind of app for counting yeast and/or bacteria for plating cultures and stuff. I don't personally do this, but I can see value in it for more than just blood samples. I'm going to share this with HomeBrewFinds.com if you don't mind.

Definitely solid suggestions all around!
OK, I definitely need to put something behind that 'Settings' icon now

I released my first game on Android (BallVenture) and would like to know people's opinion on it. Basically its a ball that you can control with your finger (fling it on screen) or trackball (if you have one). The goal is to reach a vortex in each level, and each level introduces new traps/challenges that prevent you from reaching it (harder every level).
Yeah it's sort-of like Bounce but from a top view and it has some very nice 2D graphics.
So would you play it? And what would you change in it?

First of all, this is a pretty neat game. However, I have only played it for five minutes and I have two pieces of constructive criticism. These are just based on what I feel personally, so please do not be offended by what I have to say:
1) The volume control: I feel that you should be able to control it with the hard volume keys (rocker for my nexus one) and that should adjust media volume, but it does not. You have to go into options and that's sort of a pain if you want to adjust volume in-game / on-the-fly.
2) The pause button: I was trying to pause the game to type this response and could not figure it out. Logically, to me, it makes more sense o use the menu key as a pause button as opposed to the back key.
3) Screen timeout: After X amount of minutes no change has been made, screen should turn off. Seems that the game forces it to stay on.
Again, these are just personal opinions I have formed in a few minutes of downloading the product. I will continue to post if I find things but if the full version costs, I don't feel it is one application I would pay for.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I died on the second level and realized I don't have the patience to play this game. The ball bouncing off the walls into spikes angers me in ways it should not... haha.

his puzzle game for Android is more than just a game, it will definitely make you smarter. You will feel it once you get the secret of this game that improves your logical and non-standard thinking.
By the way, the task that you need to solve here might be given as a test to a person who applies for a job that requires finding optimal solutions in the tasks which can be solved in different ways.
The app is available in both free and pro versions. The latter advantages with additional learning options and a strategy solution for the puzzle.
Alright, here is the story.
Imagine that you are caught by pirates who want to feed you to the sharks for fun if you loose the game. They threw you on a wooden deck of their ship and gave you a number of black signs. The two sides of each sign are a Roger sign and a blank side. And then they bandaged your your eyes.
- Divide the signs into two piles so that there is the same number of Roger signs in each pile. If you succeed we will let you go. You may flip over the signs as many times as you want, - Laughed the pirates.
Before you start finding your life-saving solution please be aware that there is a strategy that always allows you to solve this task regardless of the initial number of Roger and Blank signs. Think it over using your logic skills and non-standard thinking (standard way of thinking will definitely turn you into the sharks' lunch.)
There are different levels including a customizable one for the best learning practice (remember, the great thing in this app is that it is not a dull time-killer game, but the fun application that makes your brain develop while you play.)
Your aim is to have equal numbers of Rogers on both left and right fields.
Each sign is either Roger or Blank value (but you don't know which one exactly until the end of the game). Touch and hold a sign to flip it over to toggle its value.
Drag and drop a sign (or touch a sign and then touch the desired empty location) to move the sign.
Press CHECK to see how many Rogers are currently on the left and on the right.
Press DONE when you think that you have reached the aim.
Please keep in mind that this is not a let-me-guess game, but the visual tool to work out a without-risk-of-loss strategy for the puzzle.
There are learning options available in Pro version of the game.
PEEK: to open up the signs and learn the secret of the game by yourself to develop your non-standard thinking.
SPOILER: to read the secret of the game and practice your logic.
Download the game on your Android 2.2+ device and share your opinion on it!
Here is a free version:
Monster Bubbles are here! Destroy the monsters before they escape.
Swipe your finger over your magic scepter to aim and shoot your enemies. Activate new weapons, get spells and use them to destroy all the evil bubbles.
If you like games like Pang or Puzzle Bobble, you will love Monster Bubbles Curse. This game is a surprising mixture between Pang and Bubble Shoot style games.
Let's see which level you can reach!

Fantastic!
Thanks for this interesting game.
The bubbles are lovely and kind of tiresome.:laugh:
Thank you noradoor, I'm glad you like it! :laugh:
Good 3D game with big potencial. Super idea. Good luck
I've downloaded and installed the app, it is an interesting game idea. Seems nice enough for something I was goofing around with. I made it to level 4 in a few minutes.
Aiming the wand is a bit... too responsive and unresponsive at the same time. With your finger on the wand, it is easy to move it around slowly but when trying to quickly move, it seems to lag just a bit.
Besides movement, aiming was an issue for me. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of this aiming mechanism, but I couldn't figure out where/what I was aiming at with any confidence. Am I supposed to depend on the "arc of fire" or the "line of sight" along the ground? Perhaps a combo of the two? Hmm.. maybe change the "line of sight" line to a darker color? This way the user can use either/both depending on what they're comfortable with? Using a darker color for the line, de-emphasizes it as the primary aiming method (if that is what it is).
A wand isn't a gun, but perhaps something more like the sniper's red dot (which gets slightly brighter and larger) when a target is within range might work better? Well, some kind of tweak or improved aiming method might be needed.
I'm not sure if it's a standard Android OS usability feature, but I pressed the back button to get out of the game and nothing happened. I would suggest allowing the back button to return the user to the home screen which appears to be SOP. Also, there was a menu (three dots) at the far right which did nothing when pressed. I realize that this last one might be an incomplete feature.
Hi, just wanted to brag a little about a new wallpaper I made.
It uses a little of demoscene-like graphics techniques to generate images and animations that I personally enjoy a lot - but I'm yet unsure whether I'm the only one.
For those graphics-coding-inclined: it makes a heavy use of pixel shaders, basically computing distance functions for combinations of simple shapes (http://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/distfunctions/distfunctions.htm) and then texturing the surface with these shapes replicated. Although the word 'texturing' is used in a loose sense here, since there is no geometry of the tunnels and grids that you can see in the app - everything is happening in pixel shaders, issued on quads covering all or part of the screen and the 3D-like surfaces are obtained through coordinate transformations.

As you can see on the image, the customization options allow to obtain very different looks, so I decided to release a series of free wallpapers each showing one distinctive preset from the full app. The first one is Neon Tunnel:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.madscientist.shape.neon
Let me know what you think about it.
I'm happy to answer any technical questions. I'll probably do a technical write-up on my blog soon, whether anyone's interested or not.
Cool wallpaper! I am glad that Magic Fluids and Waterfloo now have a successor. Will there be a regular app gui in the future?

Thanks! There might be. I thought about making a separate app that would allow the user to control the shape-morphing process and design the images for yourself. But if the wallpaper doesn't take off, I might just slap the regular app mode on top of the wallpaper and call it a day.
There is some activity in your app's thread, in case you missed it.
I'm also a fan of your apps! The patterns in the wallpaper look beautiful. I want to program sth similar, and play around with it.

With a regular app gui you could maybe offer other ways to play around with the shapes .
A 3D volume renderer visualizing shapes would be cool. But that might be computationally too expensive for Android devices.

Are you worried about a mole? A skin blemish that's changing color or appearing to grow in size? Scanoma checks your moles, calculates your skin cancer risk and connects you with trained dermatologists for a professional second opinion.
With the power of computer vision and the expertise of licensed medical practitioners, scanoma helps your learn about skin issues and get feedback on worrisome skin problems. Simply snap a picture of your mole and then send it to a scanoma doctor for a checkup.
With scanoma, get a free diagnosis with our AI algorithm trained from thousands of images and get a second opinion from a trained dermatologist from the privacy of your home and using your phone. Detect skin cancer risks today.
Take care of your skin and make sure you get it checked often with scanoma.
DISCLAIMERS:
- Computer vision analysis is never 100% accurate. scanoma tells you if your image looks like a regular mole or skin cancer based on similar images.
- The free scanoma AI exam does not replace physical evaluation of skin cancer by a trained doctor. If in doubt, connect with a dermatologist on scanoma for a second opinion or have your skin issues physically checked by a doctor.
- scanoma works best with clear, unobstructed skin images. At this point scanoma does not work with tattooed skin.
- scanoma works best with push notifications enabled. Make sure scanoma notifications are enabled in your device.
- scanoma is not suitable for skin issues on children. Please see a paediatricians in this case.

Interesting. I've scanned a (known safe) and a second mole / blemish that I'm concerned about. The first was rated 95% safe, the second was rated 62% safe. I already had a booking to see my skin specialist, tomorrow. (I live in Australia, where we keep melanoma as pets.) (THAT WAS MORBID HUMOUR, keep your pants on. Oh, and wear a hat.) At 60 years of age, having stuff chopped, sprayed, etc is a routine.

LOL!!!
from the app I learned that non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common cancers in Australia, however most are not life-threatening.
