Tired of playing Online games? Then how about developing some with Buildbox?

Posted on October 28, 2014 by

Game creation platform Buildbox recently released a game called Phases. Well, that but of information will not exactly set the newsvine on fire but what indeed makes the headlines is the easy manner in which this startup allows you to build such games.

Buildbox’s claim to fame is – it allows anybody, & we mean even those who do not have any knowledge of coding, to build digital games. You could even make something like Flappy Bird within 60 seconds, is what these guys claim.

Buildbox has added a new dimension to the whole game creation experience. This platform allows you to create games as easily as dropping images into the software, making changes to their properties & hitting ‘Play’.

All the tools you would ever need to make your game is included in Buildbox.  You have access to complete management of your assets, integrated level editor, game menu system, advanced ad & in app purchase solution, font editor, gameplay settings, among others.

If you wanna see Buildbox is in action before trying things out, just check out the game Phases. Everything you see from the physics engine to the monetization was built only with Buildbox.  No outside programming or additions were added to the game, & it was made in only 2 weeks.

The guys at this California, USA based startup claim making games is “as easy as making a powerpoint presentation.” While developing Buildbox, the focus was on making things so intuitive, users wouldn’t need a manual.

With Buildbox, you can create as many games as you want & publish them as many times as you want.  When you’re ready to export your game to mobile devices, computers or micoconsoles, you’ll be able to do so at the click of a button. It also has an inbuilt freemium monetization suite that allows developers to find ways & means of making out of their newly built games.

Then there’s Buildbox’s Infinity engine you can control real world physics & gameplay by moving sliders. With Buildbox you have full control over in app purchases and the ability to show ads from over 9 different top tier ad companies including industry favorites like Chartboost.

Here’s a new way of surfing the Web anonymously

Posted on October 27, 2014 by

anonymous network

So you don’t want the authorities to know what exactly are you looking for on the Internet? There are thousands of proxy server services available which allow you to mask your IP address. Helps when you live in a country which is not exactly known for its “citizen-friendly” policies, right?

The Tor Project comes to mind when we talk of the Internet & anonymity of a user. Now, there’s Luminati, claiming to be the world’s largest anonymity network & even better than Tor. You can use this new network to route your data through any of its millions of IPs located in every city around the world except North Korea.

Luminati’s anonymity network is a peer to peer network through which consumers can browse the Web anonymously by routing their requests through other Luminati users. The Luminati network has grown to millions of nodes, & is growing larger with every passing day.

Integrating Luminati in to your system is simple — route your HTTP, HTTPS or ALS requests to any one of Luminati’s “Super Proxies”, & it will route it through our millions of end nodes. You can insert headers in to these requests that will tell the “Super Proxy” the country to route through.

Some of its features:

  • Real anonymity – the proxies in the Luminati network are regular PCs, laptops and phones, & thus are not identified as proxies or as Tor network nodes
  • Super scalable – Scale up to millions of IPs & back down to a few without costs or re-configuration
  • Super speed – Much faster than Tor (similar in speed to regular Internet)
  • Highly secure – VPN connection from your Super-Proxy to any of millions of nodes ‘in the wild’ reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks, snooping, or control of end nodes (as may be the case in Tor)
  • Highly accurate – Sites that identify you as a proxy may provide you with misleading information.
  • Luminati’s Network is comprised of real devices, not proxies & not Tor end points
  • No overhead – No need to employ staff for managing proxies
  • Simple – Set the Super-Proxy as your crawler’s proxy, and go
  • Proxies in every city – Reroute through any city in the world
  • Supported protocols – Supports HTTP, HTTPS & TLS

But being anonymous on the Web, at least using this service, is not free. Though the Wesite does not mention the rates, Luminati does provide 1st time users a free 7-day trial of the system. Also, users have to pay only for the traffic they route through Luminati, regardless of how many different IPs they use.
