A custom version of BlackBox (the game for iOS), with new and uniquely frustrating puzzles added. :)

OpenBox

Blackbox by Ryan McLeod is one of my favorite apps. Whenever I play it, I think about all the APIs I don't get to play with.

So I did what any developer would do who likes to play with cool toys, I made my own version!

Introducing OpenBox!

It's the perfect playground for any iOS developer to create weekend projects that play with any API in iOS. I'm currently running this as a little experiment. If you'd like to fork the repo or PR a puzzle, go for it! It would be fun to put an open source version of black box on the store.

Get Added to the External Testers

OpenBox is currently on testflight. If you'd like access to the testflight build, please just get in touch and send me your Apple Id.

Some Ground Rules

  • The only thing I'd ask is please don't post my puzzles to the app store without permission.
  • I will do the same for you. I will not post any puzzle in this repo without the creator's permission (I'll probably ask about it in the PR)
  • Also, I plan I posting this app to the store someday (perhaps I'll post a target date soon).
  • I don't plan on charging for anything this is just for fun. If we do charge for anything, we'll likely donate it all to charity.
  • Please feel free to contact me on twitter @RobNorback, or through my website if you have any quesitons, RobNorback.com
