I am not
a great fan of computer/smartphone games however I found it very impressive to
see ASCON’s iOS Machinator at AppleStore. For me, it was additionally
interesting because couple weeks ago I published (in Russian) an article about the company’s several new projects – at
that time being somewhat secret. Now, one of those projects (previously called
CORVETTE) has been unveiled under the name Machinator.
Surprisingly
enough, I could not find something in English about Machinator. Really strange
considering the fact that currently the game is ahead of famous Angry Birds or Cut the
Rope in the local charts. So below I've quickly illustrated the game from the
description of AppStore. Just for the sake of justice :)
“Remember,
when you were little: you would pour Lego pieces on the floor and become
overwhelmed? There were so many! But piece by piece, by trial and error you got
results!”
“-
Choose a model to assemble from the store (both free and paid models are
available)
- Use
your brains and assemble it
-
Assemble it faster than anyone else and let everyone know about it
- Share
your results with friends
- Check
out the Model Store - there is sure to be something new there, something You
will enjoy.”
The
fresh move of ASCON was immediately interconnected in my mind with the news about mobile version of RGK – the Russian Geometric Kernel. Is it the Russian
mobile revolution in engineering software?
