Bubble-07 released Particle Accelerator for Nintendo Wii.
Release notes:
Paricle Accelerator is a game with 70’s videogame style graphics. (Only black and white.)It’s a very simple game. To play, turn the wiimote on it’s side, and use the up and down arrows to move your particle to dodge the incoming particles. (Which are randomly generated). This game was programmed in C, and is my first game in C. You can give suggestions, but don’t give too many, as I learn the best if I learn on my own.

A puzzle game by Yossi.
Quote:
FlipEm is a game where you try to get all the squares on the board to have an X in them. When a square is flipped, it gets an X if it was empty, or clears out the X if there was already one there. When you click a square, it and the four around it in a + shape get flipped. Squares off the edge of the board are ignored.
