The Tap Tap series of games are one of my favorites, simply because I love music, and the game gives me something else to do, while I'm doing.

Nearly 3 years after the shutdown of Tapulous servers, I have spent time rebuilding a version of them powered by NodeJS and MongoDB. While the eventual goal would be to support most, if not, all features provided by the original servers, I have set up a basic implementation that supports the game booting up without being offline, as well as provide song downloads.In order to use Lazarus, a Cydia Substrate tweak must be used in conjunction with the server in order to patch all references to the original Tapulous servers. Basic instructions are provided in the link above.If you are interested in running your own instance of Lazarus, the source for the server is found.

Songs are parsed and served in the requested format by the game, with probable support for custom tracks as well. While this release only supports Tap Tap Revenge 4, support for Tour, Revenge 3, as well as other games could be added.

Transistor as a switch. In an ideal switch, the transistor should be in only one of two states: off or on. The transistor is off when there’s no bias voltage or when the bias voltage is less than 0.7 V. The switch is on when the base is saturated so that collector current can flow without restriction. When using the transistor as a switch, a small Base current controls a much larger Collector load current. When using transistors to switch inductive loads such as relays and solenoids, a “Flywheel Diode” is used. When large currents or voltages need to be controlled, Darlington Transistors can be used. Transistor as a Switch. A transistor is used for switching operation for opening or closing of a circuit. This type solid state switching offers significant reliability and lower cost as compared with conventional relays. Both NPN and PNP transistors can be used as switches. Transistor as a Switch is a very important and useful application of transistors. Transistor works in Saturation and Cutoff regions when it works as switch. A Transistor switch, which is used for opening or closing of a circuit, that means the transistor is commonly used as a switch in the electronic devices only for the low voltage applications because of its low power consumption.Transistor work as a switch when it is in cutoff and saturation regions.

Tap Tap Revenge is back. Disney’s Mobile’s Tap Tap Revenge: Tour will be hitting the App Store momentarily.The game promises to be a major re-launch of the franchise with a substantial amount of new features. The user interface is entirely redone from past games in the series as the new app streamlines and simplifies the overall experience. Players can slice through the music with special tappers, use multi-directional shake capabilities, or play along to enhanced visual themes like in-game music video backgrounds.As far as music, the game is boasting the biggest launch catalog ever for a Tap Tap Revenge game. Available at launch are embedded free hit songs from top artists LMFAO, AVICCI and Selena Gomez, and featured artists Goyte, Carly Rae Jepsen and Kaskade (feat. The Neon Trees.)The game also includes a rotating free music store of more than 300 tracks, in addition to 17 bundles of new premium content available for in-app purchase.

A free song will also be given away daily.As a nice touch, tracks can be imported in from previous games in the series.Here’s a trailer for the game. If you can’t see the video.The “tour” part of the game borrows liberally from games like Rock Band. While on tour, users can play an opening, supporting, and headliner act in a new city every day, and unlock encore acts to earn bonus points and gain weekly rewards. Rockers can also win prizes and merchandise to show on the tour wall, which can be shared with friends on Facebook.The Tap Tap Revenge series has been a staple of the App Store since its launch in 2008.Tap Tap Revenge 4, was the last major game in the series. On Christmas Day of that year, the app was being downloaded at the rate of.Tap Tap Revenge: Tour is available for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

Big Hunter is a dynamic physics game that hunts gigantic primeval animals with spear, axe and boomerang. Become the world's best hunter with a variety of weapons!

It can be downloaded free in the App Store, and should be live tonight.
