Hi guys,

The HP 680/690/720 port of Snails has started and now I have the demo mostly running on a HP 720 device.

pfft, we're not arrogant, we've got common sense, dialup just wont cut it anymore and its by far more economical to get cable/Xdsl.

Oh and to answer your question about screen sizes, i highly doubt this will be changed because it would mean redesigning a lot of the coding not to mention the graphics, deal with the size us pocket pcers have to!!!

i think peter will do his best to enlarge the game area and re-arrange the interface, wont you, pete?

I suggest a Super GameBoy-like skin thing which could fill the black parts of the screen, leaving the game at its current resolution.

I think you should use the extra screen estate to display TWO images.... One red and one green and then you could bundle those cool old 3D glasses, for a mindblowing Snails 3D version!

"What the ...! Did that snail just came out of the screen to BITE ME?!?!?"

shella croft... in 3d...

*drools*

Nohting really needs to be resized, just the field of vision extended. Though a 3d glasses thing would be cool :P

Oh, I know, let's do this.

For the HPC version, add a ninja rope in 3d, that comes out and looks like it sticks on your head. That would be cool. You could have snails swinging on your face or even you special part. You know, your ears.




(BTW, this was not a ploy to try and get the ninja rope incorperated)

[ShALLaX]

Heh, it would require recoding because at the moment, the game 'knows' the edge of the screen is at a certain position, if u start changing things the camera could start scrolling at the wrong time, things wont explode at the right point blah blah blah. I like the idea of a skin to hide the blackness, but at the end of the day, i dont care.. i have a pocket pc.. arent i l33t?

stop talking about stupid ninja rope, and start talking about the jornada 690. its far more important.

hpcs r sooo much better, its just no one bothers developing for them. oh well... im just going to go... somewhere... now
