iPod Game Creator, New Games Released

Posted by simoniker on from the basic-but-fun dept.

XGamerX writes "The iStory Creator is a freeware application used to allow anyone to create their very own custom interactive games for Apple's iPod. There are also a number of freely downloadable games to get you started. The text-based games play similarly to 'choose your own adventure' games." Amusingly, there's a game called 'XOPlay Rampage', referencing the commercially-sold iPod adventures that were previously featured on Slashdot, and in the game: "XOPlay has stolen your ideas and used them for their own greedy purposes. Show them who is boss!"

  2. Software for the iPod? by MonkeyCookie · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I didn't even know it was possible for people to write software for the iPod.

    How on earth is that done? It there some sort of development kit for it?

  3. .NET Framework? That's just wrong. by Kris_J · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tried to install the sofware (I'm thinking of converting the original Choose Your Own Adventure) but I have to install the .Net Framework (*shudder*) first -- for a Windows program to load a text game onto an Apple music player. How many levels of wrong are in this?
