Easier said than done   7 April 2009

As I mentioned on Twitter, I’ve finally submitted Geomex 1.1 for AppStore approval. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. I recently played Geomex 1.0 for the first time in a month or two, and was completely surprised at how far I’ve come with 1.1. The bits of polish here-and-there really add up.

I’ve said that Geomex 1.1 brings Online Hiscores, Achievements and new graphics. Three bullet points. Much easier said than done. As proof, I present a subset of the work that went into Geomex 1.1: my temporary to-do list. Only about a quarter of the stuff I did went onto this list, but even then, it’s pretty long.

Anyway, the list is presented in all its monospaced glory below the cut.
