An infocom interpreter for the Kindle.
- devmonk 16y agoI totally love the idea of playing infocom games on the Kindle. Text adventures are a fairly good match, as the K3 direction pad stinks. But, I've not spent much time on the kindle keypad either, so maybe I would be able to type commands in very quickly either. It's too bad imo that Amazon hasn't been very quick with getting the KDK out to developers and allowing open development and sharing of apps vs. the inevitable jailbreaking. There are so many cool things in Java (even though it is J2ME) that I'd like to try on it. This type of thing is a good case for hacking though: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/09/02/photo-and-descriptio.html http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/09/02/photo-and-descripti...
- rbanffy 16y agoI would really like if Barnes & Noble released a proper, official Nook SDK and used their Pubit as an app-store... Of course, text-based games would be awful with the touchscreen, but I assume other applications would be quickly developed.
