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!"

    But can I get DopeWars for it? I have yet to meet the platform that DopeWars hasn't been implemented for...has it for the iPod?

      No, and it can't be either. The "iPod Game Creator" just creates a network of cross-linked text files, which means you can't store any state. See my previous comment on this subject (and its children) for more information

    Your moderate-traffic website has just been posted on slashdot without notice. You are being bombarded with eager viewers, just hoping for another kill. Your bandwidth usage has skyrocketed, slowing the speeds to pre-dialup rates. What do you wish to do now?
    a) Shutdown server/Hide content
    b) Counter-slashdot slashdot!
    c) Go buy a super server
    d) My webserver running off an iPod can take it! Bring it on!

    This is done via the iPod's notes interface. Basically the program just creates a higherarchy of notes representing your choose-your-own-adventure story, and uploads the notes to the iPod.

    For anything much more complex than this, you'd probably have to install iPod linux and use that.
