Hi,
I probably don't have to tell you much about that game except that it's available for your Pre (for free) now

update 0.2:
You can controle the snake via WASD oder IJKL keys or by flicking your finger.
Added extra lives, bonuses, bombs (don't run into them)
Added more levels

Screenshots:

All Info, Screenshots, Download, and paypal button

on my website: Snake for Palm Pre

have fun!

ps: say, are there already any other games for the pre or is this the first?

Download the latest version from the Homebrew Apps Gallery: Snake

First homebrew game. Connect4 is a demo. So yah first free graphic/interactive game! Awesome!

Wow, nice job!! Just a quick question....how are you storing the highscores?

Khidr · 07/01/2009, 04:44 PM

Great work. One comment - the flick control is nice, but when I flick up or down it flicks the whole screen up or down in addition to the control.

abiezerf · 07/01/2009, 04:57 PM

Awesome for a first game. Contact me if you want some help making graphics or images, im pretty good with Photoshop.

you need to disable the scroller on the base scene. Scenes automatically come with scrollers, but can be disabled. Other than that, it's freaking GREAT!!!

I've added an Event.stop(event); in the flick handler method, that should suffice? It's in the next release, thanks

In my Paint app, I handle it like this in stage-assistant.js when I push the scene:

this.controller.pushScene({name:"paint", disableSceneScroller:true});

i know you can't do the email attachment anymore, where do you save it to in order to access it... i tried downloads, and couldn't find it, and DCIM is a clipboard or something...

roar · 07/01/2009, 05:50 PM

thanks rboatright and snailslug, new version is up.

I need help too.
Opening the link via my Palm Pre just sent me to a website with loads of scripts on it.

DNic · 07/01/2009, 06:16 PM

Played it on the emulator...can't wait for your updates.

sracercelica · 07/01/2009, 07:35 PM

My phone already upgraded to .04. ghow can I install this in my phone without having to root it?

Colonel Kernel · 07/01/2009, 08:07 PM

Is this an SDK install?

SirataXero · 07/01/2009, 08:39 PM

emailed it to myself on the SDK. Works perfectly.

Suggestion:

Make it pause if you launch a new card or open the menu or something... I tested it and the little guy just keeps going... haha so a pause option would be cool.

Well if you want to make it challenging, you could keep pause out of it, but I really think it should autopause if you hit the menu, open the launcher, or basically do anything outside of the card itself.

otherwise, Awesome!

Great Job!

Might want to consider using a html 5 database. Better memory usage if you have lots of data (which may not be the case for a high score).

tuz · 07/01/2009, 10:13 PM

This can't be done in 1.0.3 via email link? When I have some free time I will figure out this non-rooted SDK thing. Excited this app!

mikeybob365 · 07/01/2009, 10:15 PM

if we're all throwing ideas at ya, how bout having an options tab on the menu, and we can change the color of everything, and also let us choose the buttons to use, for me it feels awkward reaching across the keyboard to use my dominant thumb...

still waiting for some directions on how to put it on my pre
