I am happy to announce that a project I worked on is live on the app store: The War of the Worlds for iPad.
My role was to develop a re-usable text parsing, justification, and rendering engine that was then adapted for the project. Give it a look; I’m really pleased with how it turned out.
The actual vehicle is based on a Porsche 911, not the Cayman as previously reported. Powered by a three-phase electric motor that offers about 200 horsepower along with an impressive 480 lb.-ft. of torque, the eRUF Model A can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds and can reach a top speed of 160. Power comes from a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which produces 317-volts and 480-amps and is made up from 96 individual cells. A full charge takes a rather long 10-hours, and regenerative braking is included in the package allowing for a range of up to 180 miles.
