#ZUMA DELUXE BIZ MOVIE#
It was influenced by games such as Luxor and Zuma and also by the movie Flubber.Īnd, of course, the game Tryptich is quite similar to Gelex and had huge impact on me when I've discovered it. I had an idea about a 'physics Tetris' game a long time ago. What was the spark of inspiration for your game Gelex? And this time I have another reason for creating a game - I wanna do a game for my grandchildren. When iPhone came into my life, I felt that need again. I felt a need to create a game then, but at that time I had lots of other things to do. The first games I ever played were in the 1980s on the ZX Spectrum.
#ZUMA DELUXE BIZ PC#
I'm playing games on my iPhone now and before that I've played a few PC games - like Luxor - I really love that one. Have you played many computer games, and why did you decide to start making an iPhone game? I wouldn't call myself a programmer, but after this experience I know a little bit about how things work. I've had lots of different jobs in my life, but the important job for my current 'game developer' career was probably working at University in Brno, where (apart from other things) I was involved in some IT projects and learnt basics of the C and C++ programming language.
#ZUMA DELUXE BIZ FREE#
It really amazed me, and when I realised you can make your own applications on it, and that even little kids can do that, I decided to use my free time and to try and create something by myself. I had lots of free time, and a few month ago my grandson Michal bought me an iPhone. Marie Bila: My name is Marie, I'm from little village called Lhota in the Czech Republic and I'm retired. Pocket Gamer: Can you provide us with some background information about yourself? Not only is it an interesting read in terms of the development process, but her enthusiasm for the game she's making also makes it a delight.

On her blog, and helped by her three grandsons, she's been documenting the process of making her first game - an iPhone physics puzzle game called Gelex. This year however, she's become Granny Coder, and is proving you're never too old to become a game developer. In terms of her biographical details, Marie Bila is a 77 year-old grandmother, who lives in small village in the Czech Republic with a cat called Jasmina, 15 chickens and goat Liza.
