Over the past couple of development sessions RatCat has been able to  “animate” the intro splash screen of Meghan’s Memory Game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The animation is on the very simple side, however it’s a start. The overall process is kind of simple, you create the animation frames in Photoshop then sequence them in a loop with a timer in the application.  Besides the addition of animation, we have revamped the games appearance, added the ability to turn off the sound, added a second level and a new splash screen when completing the level 1 and 2 and added over 350 first grade level spelling words (After all it is an Educational Game!).

We have decided that we will be targeting first grade students with this version and we have plans to release a second and third grade versions shortly after a successful release of this version. To finish up Meghan’s Memory Game 1st Grade, we need to complete the voice recordings of each word then prepare the marketing material and meta data for the RatCat Software web site and for the iTunes App Store.  It looks like we are actually ahead of schedule, though I’m sure that we will need all the time we can get to actually make a May 1st release!
