Academic Aid Scholastic Suite 6 Rev.769 changelog

Mr305 has released a new revision for the Academic Aid Scholastic Suite. This release improves upon the motion driver, adds a stylish effect for the text, and has a separate release for the source code.

Here's the list of changes from Rev.753 to Rev.769:

Rev. 761 -> Rev.769

• Idea Implemented in 10 Min: After a subject is selected, Text doesn't immediately show up. It's STYLISHLY fades ONTO the screen (pgeFont Pseudo Transparency illusion effect).
• SRC released as a separate package

753 -> 761

• Improvements to Motion Kit Driver (reduced Delay after init. to 1 sec. For now, No sideeffects, report any Problems, PLEASE!)
• Wasn't satisfied with Blackboard, enhanced lightning on it a lil' more

Folks who are interested in using the application would do well to read the accompanying documentation before installing and using the application. If you'd like to view videos of the motion-sensing feature of the application, feel free to watch the two videos below. That being said, it's a solid app that's a great educational tool for everyone to use. Enjoy!

Hopping on the NEOFlash Coding Competition 2008 bandwagon, homebrew developer Mr305 has equipped his brainchild's latest build - Academic Aid Scholastic Suite 6 Rev.753 - with Dr. NEO's motion kit techonology. Now, navigate through all the advanced math you can handle by tilting your Sony Playstation Portable up and down.

Is that advanced math you just read? Don't worry, it doesn't get any easier than Academic Aid Scholastic Suite 6 Rev.753. Just punch in all your variables and the app will take care of the rest of your Algebra I, Algebra II, Calculus/PreCalculus, Physics I and Physics AP problems.

Building on last version's firmware and aesthetic additions, Mr305 also added an improved blackboard and two new formulas bringing it to a total of 45 equations. Here is the complete changelog for Academic Aid Scholastic Suite 6 Rev.753.

Rev. 749 - Rev. 753:

• Improved Blackboard a little more
• The titles and functions of Convert Radians to Degrees were interchanged. Fixed.

3.0 to Rev. 749:

• Motion Kit support added.
• Tilt PSP Up or Down to navigate between items
• Can be used for Scrolling in equations like Quadratic formula and geometry of two points.
• Full sound + motion
• Makes a notification when it has been unplugged or not inserted during start up.
• Motion Kit SHOULD be plugged in BEFORE THE application has initialized for Motion functions.
• Numerous Usability fixes in Calculator.
• SQRT and CBRT function has been implemented in Calculator.
• Extensive GUI changes (Honestly, I laughed looking back at older versions 3.0)

• Removed compression artifacts on BlackBoard.
• Improved Background
• New navigation sounds

• Switched to Kernel Message Box systems; removed Old "Press Triangle for Credits" message.
• Added two new formulas: Find determinant of 2x2 matrix or 3x3 matrix.
• A newer implementation of Quadratic Graphing with new GU method; removed old VRAM pixel based graph and it was INVERTED!
• Bug fix in Quadratic Solution where factoring wasn't done correctly.
• Improved Load times but SIO initializing code neutralizes the speed.

Mr305 advises us to read the enclosed documentation before anything else - an installation guide and the range of advanced math topics covered are all there.
