Apple's Puzzler Game and Sample Code

I just tried it.. it's pretty fun. Can't see it having last appeal for more than 5 minutes at a time though.

 

I used to play this on an old Motorola phone. Damn addictive!!

 

That's an example of "advanced usage"? Really?

 

So far my best is 4 left..

Wish it was a little faster on edge

Edit: best is now 1 left

 

Five. Red, Orange, Purple, Teal, and Green.

I just got down to one. Not bad.

 

Try the original

I used to be addicted (probably still am) to this game. Still am trying to figure out a system to always win. Do I start left or right, top bottom or middle. Anyway try the original at http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/atplay/block.jsp

 

Spoiler alert!

Nothing cool happens when you win. I'm totally disappointed.

 

I vote for random clicking in the bottom right until the problem is sufficiently reduced that you can discern the best click.

Not every combination has a valid solution.

I wish there was an undo.

 

The balls turned gray and then dissapeared erratically.. I know JavaScript is capable of much more..

 

Nothing happens at all when you when, nothing.

 

To be fair, this isn't exactly meant to be the best of games...it is just for illustration purposes.

 

what do you mean?

 

web games. lol There were web games, I know, I know, there is no need to "illustrate", just release as much as they can, I bet they will be all the same type.

For iPhone's hardware, its outrageous apple doesn't allow real game to be run at OS level. People, go ahead do some petitions. User's demand is the biggest motivation.

 

dosn't work for me for some reason, when i click on the balls they turn gray and just stay there.??

 

is it just me or does that game screw anybody elses fonts up on their PC (I'm at work... not on my mac :'( ahhh) for a couple of minutes? It makes them looks kinda 8 bit.

That's one of my favorite games on my HP iPaq hx4700. I have a more primative version of it on my Treo 700p.

This web-based one seems to work the same way, but geez... wouldn't it make more sense for it to be a stand-alone app on the iPhone, so you don't need a good wireless connection to use it?

 

when i get down to the last few the blocks change colour

addictive game though

Edit: I can get down to 1
EDIT 2: OMG I won w000000000t

 

Fun game. Interesting to see Apple's method for the HTML code. Basically what others have said with the line:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320, user-scalable=no">

Interesting to see that's the right way of doing it.

 

Black looks better

I changed it into a black background for my niece's site... looks much better in black. BTW anyone else notice that it is a tad too big for the iPhone, the reset button is partially off the screen when the page loads.

 

I was just coming on here to whine about the same thing.

Where are the real games?
