Card Sprite sheet Generator

During development of Wonders in Math Land I had to recreate card animations many times. Therefore I developed this script called: Card Sprite sheet Generator.
It enables you to create two way sprite sheet animation with just two images, in my case front and back side of a card. I had some bright ideas to improve it. Let me know our thought on it.





StarCraft2 Achievements application

I have been busy these days, developing a custom application for StarCraft2 using Blizzard's battle.net web service. If you are a SC2 fan and play it alot this application will enable you to browse trough the complete list of SC2 achievements when you don't play the game. Choose a region and locale/language, then filter the list by category, points and keyword. Finally, let me know your thoughts on it and what can be improved.

The link to the application is: http://sc2ach-blueplayer.rhcloud.com/
