T^3 Portable Dev 4

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on March 25, 2008 - 11:07pm

Application: T^3
Category: Games
Description: T^3 is an amazing 3D tetris game. If you remember the basic tetris game then you can play this game. Although it is in 3D it is fairly light on the system so it is easy to run off of a flash drive.

Tomcat Launcher

Submitted by GumShoeCode on March 24, 2008 - 10:25pm

Hi portableapps.com

I've been browsing the forums for a while, searching on how to launch tomcat, I don't know if I just missed some juicy part but through my frustration I created a bunch of file on how to successfully launch tomcat.

Here are the steps.

Install Tomcat:

1. Download and Install JDK on your pc.
2. Copy the installed JDK on the root of the Portable Drive ( in my case I copied it inside a java directory and I used JDK 1.6 so my JAVA_HOME path is
[PortableDrive]:\\java\jdk1.6.0_03 ),

3. Install XAMPP (I used the windows installer .exe)

Falling Blocks Game Portable 0.9 Development Test 1

Submitted by Patrick Patience on March 24, 2008 - 1:11am

Application: Falling Block Game
Category: Games
Description: Falling Block Game is an awesome 3D style Tetris reimplementation I decided to do instead of QTetris. It features themes, great graphics, and some the good old Tetris music that sounds like it's been tossed in a blender with some Jewish and Polka music. It's good times, really. I mean, really, with a name that creative, how could it not be fun?

I just realized I didn't announce this in-forum yet, so I'll do so now. I've set up a mailing list to be used for announcing test versions of apps. Anyone can sign up and post messages, but the only messages posted should be announcements of new test versions of apps for people to test. It's designed to be a low volume list so it's not too disruptive of people's inboxes. Here's the welcome test with the details:
