SuperDocker 2.5.7 (Mac OS X)

Pretty nice.  

I tried this app and it has some pretty extensive capabilities. Oh sure there's duplicated things from apps like TinkerTool and whatnot, but it also has some new stuff I hadn't seen yet; like the debug menu in Disk Utility and iCal. The assortment of dock background images is pretty neat too. Changes are immediate too which may feel a little strange at first, but is pretty handy. Applications like Dock, Finder, and Dashboard are relaunched right when you make the change to the setting. [alert admin]

Crittersim 1.2 (Mac OS X)

Pretty cool little app.  

Ignore that last hippie. This is a fun, creative program. I love all the icons too. Pesticide and Herbicide to kill off hordes of populace?! BRILLIANT! I like watching the graph plummet, peek, then fall back to equilibrium afterward, it's pretty neat to watch. I'd love to see a few things:

1. Some more plant and animal graphics. still small, but just maybe other shapes or sizes, so you can have tiers or hierarchies of animals. predators, prey, carnivores, omnivores, herbivores, etc.
2. Presets: a button in the advanced settings to pre-fill the stats-numbers boxes with some interesting values. Examples being slow moving but long living critters, or quick growing and dying plants like weeds. A drop-down would work well.
3. Global speed control so you can watch things happen in slower or faster motion.
4. Optional but cool to add: other "disaster" type effects. Freeze, extreme heat, drought etc. each could affect the various sets of populations of critters and plants differently. Example: drought that kills off the larger predatory critters but retains the lower forms, yet also kills off their plant-based food supply. That would be so cool and fun. Sorta like SimCity with disasters.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for making this and thinking creatively. [alert admin]
