Sonic Skull Shot

February 2nd, 2010

I’ve been working on this application for the iPhone called Sonic Skull Shot (SSS) for the past week as an assignment for the course Mobile Music, taught by Professor Ge Wang.

It is a nice OpenGL application for the iPhone that makes use of the accelerometer and some touches to create a sling shot to throw skulls while synthezising some sound. It took me so many hours to do that, but in the end I think the result is pretty good.

You can download it from here!

iPhone Apps for iPhone Programming Course at Stanford

January 13th, 2010

This quarter I signed up for the course Mobile Music, taught by Professor Ge Wang. It is a course to write music code for Mobile devices, mostly focused on the iPhone.

Yesterday was due the first assignment which was writing three small music apps for the iPhone. I must say that the library created initially for Smule and later modified for the MoPho (Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra) is extremely amazing.

Check out my small apps here. Enjoy titans!

Stanford, toma de contacto

September 15th, 2009

He llegado aquí, a la Universidad de Leland Stanford Junior. Más conocida como Stanford, la Universidad que vió nacer a Google, a Nvidia, a Cisco Systems, a Yahoo! y a no sé cuantas grandísimas ideas más. He llegado a Silicon Valley.

El campus es grande y precioso. Está en Palo Alto, una ciudad a media hora al Sur de San Francisco, California. Hemos ido a pasear y lo hemos atravesado de punta a punta una vez nos hemos aposentado en nuestros nuevos hogares. Por cierto, por la ventana de mi apartamento veo una cancha de voley playa. Madre mía.

Una vez hemos llegado a la plaza principal, Main Quad, me he topado con las esculturas de Rodin. Sí, hay esculuras de Rodin por el centro del campus. Esto es América.

De momento no hay mucha gente, las clases no empiezan hasta la semana que viene y sólo los new graduate students estamos pululando por aquí. Eso sí, creo que la mitad de estudiantes que vemos por aquí son Chinos. Dicen que estudian mucho. Dicen que hay algunos Chinos -pocos- que tienen un doctorado a los 18 años. Me da miedo.

Voy a seguir haciendo papeles burocráticos. Esto es infinito.
