Quartermaster
Visit the Quartermaster website.
Quartermaster is a complete army creation tool for tabletop games such as Warhammer™ Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000™. You can use Quartermaster to help create and manage army roster lists for all your favourite armies. No more loose notes and scribbled calculations!
Create and share army templates
Army templates are complete references for every option in your army. There are no built-in templates, but you can easily author templates right in the app and share them among your friends. You can also export templates for advanced editing in a text editor.
Create, share, and publish army lists
Once you have your army template, pick and choose the units you want in your army and Quartermaster calculates your totals. You can then use Quartermaster to publish and share your army lists. Quartermaster generates styled forum code for sharing on discussion forums, as well as clear and easy-to-read reference lists for emailing or printing.
This app is completely unofficial and in no way endorsed by Games Workshop Limited.
I completely designed and created Quartermaster, including all code development. Quartermaster is a universal app that works for both iPad and iPhone. Since its release, Quartermaster has become very popular in the tabletop gaming community.

Robot Fight!
Two robots enter… one robot leaves. It’s the addictive new game that anyone can play!
Robot Fight sees Blue Robot face off against Red Robot. Who will win? The one who punches the most, of course!
Challenge your friends in this very simple yet incredibly fun game. You only need one iPhone or iPod Touch between the two of you, then the one that can punch the fastest wins the fight! You don’t need to know how to fight; your robot just punches whenever you tell it to!
Challenge your friends, the guy next to you waiting for the bus, your grandma, or even yourself! It’s the most fun you can have in under a minute.
I completely designed and created Robot Fight, including all the code development, graphic design, and sound design. Robot Fight is a simple game that allows two players to play on the one iPhone or iPod Touch.
Pirateometer is no longer available on the App Store.

Pirateometer
A compass that doesn’t point North? Aye, it’s true the compass doesn’t point North, but you’re not trying to find North, are you?
The Pirateometer is a Magic Pirate Compass. It is unique… true enough, this compass does not point North. Where does it point? It points to the thing you want most in this world.
Just give the Pirateometer a shake, watch it spin, and then: you have your heading!
The Pirateometer is intended only for amusement, not navigation. If you know what you want, the compass will give a sure heading, straight and true. If you do not know what it is you want, the compass will point vaguely and confusedly, or even spin wildly.
The Pirateometer is best used for locating cursed Aztec gold, Shipwreck Cove, or even the heart of Davey Jones!
I completely designed and created Pirateometer, including all code development and graphic design. Pirateometer is mostly intended as an art piece, demonstrating some of the interesting possibilities with the iPhone platform.
Pirateometer is no longer available on the App Store.

A dashboard summarises progress for each trainee and trainer in the organisation. Detailed reports break progress down further. Visual cues and graphs quickly give an overview, allowing managers to easily pinpoint problem areas and keep track of progress towards any relevant goals.
