Twisty v0.03 (Android misc)

The ‘Z-Machine’ is a virtual machine designed in 1979 by Infocom for playing text adventures, and has been re-implemented on nearly every computer and PDA since then.

This application allows Android users to play Infocom classics just as ‘Zork’, as well hundreds of newer text adventures written in the last ten years or so. The package comes bundled with a few built-in games, but also allows you to load games from your SD card.

PaperTankDS v0.2.0 (Beta) (NDS Game)

The game is a video version of the game where you fold a piece of paper in half and each person marks five tanks on each side. You then take turns marking a spot on your side, then folding the paper to see if it hit one of your opponent’s tanks.

In the game, after moving your tanks to their starting positions, you pick a shot, then either press up to take the shot, or fold the ds to take the shot, simulating a paper fold. Right now we only have 1 person play vs AI, so the ai side is hidden and revealed with each shot.
