There’s a new tool available from Instinct Company based in NewZealand. It allows you to create Flash based games using their graphical interface. They have also posted a video that shows how easily this can be done. They’ve also given bunch of examples of games created using the tool  on their web site. They have a channel on youtube where they show all these videos.

Does this mean that everyone with an idea can now create a game? Looks like we are ready for Games 2.0!

I came accross this site that has several wallpapers and games listed on this page. CHeck it out.

Yes- the ever popular Flash Lite Tetris is available here. Too bad my blackberry does not have Flash Lite. When will we see Flash Lite on every phone out there?

I came accross Scott Janouek’s presentation on how to create widgets for Chumby online. You can download it here. The site for some reason does not allow you to download it, but nevertheless, its a good source for someone looking to develop Flash Lite games for Chumby.

Playoo, a mobile game community, has announced a program for up and coming Flash Lite developers. They are promising to pay cash for good ideas received from the developers.

From their post:

“One of the main objectives of the PDP is to create a marketplace for Flash Lite game developers to sell games to buyers.  For now, the only buyer is Playyoo itself, but this will change as we start to
introduce 3rd party commercial customers.  In order to get things going, we’re running a pilot programme where we are requesting proposals for a game on a specific theme every week. We’re paying €300 for each delivered game. So far we’re in week 3, and it’s going pretty well.

One of the nice things is seeing just how quickly developers can respond - using Flash Lite, an entertaining casual mobile game can go from nothing to online in under a week.

We’d really like to build up this initiative. Obviously, it helps us, to get great content, but hopefully it also helps the Flash Lite community, especially people who would like to break in to commercial or semi-commercial development.

Ubiquity games have developed a arcade style game called Ping that is also available for iriver clix. Check it out here. From their web site:

“This is a classic arcade style game. Break the center brick to level up. The game features a modular “level builder“, players may construct, play and save their own level designs.”

I recently came accross a nice tutorial on creating Flash Lite game. The tutorial explains all about the creating timeline, how to initialize and start game, and how to write actionscript to control it.

This is one of the older white papers I found on Adobe web site- nevertheless it still has quite a bit of good information. This is written by Miriam Dholakiwala who manages Adobe users group in India.

As you know, iRiver Clix is not just mp3 player. You can also create games for it, and in fact quite a few are available free on iRiver’s web site. The list includes popular black jack and sudoku, but also creative ones like ‘Critter Crossing’ and ‘Barn Baron’.

Take a look at the complete list here.

Sony Mylo has a Flash Lite 3 player. In fact it is optimized for On2. There is apparently quite a bit of games collection available for it from Mylo portal. To access it, one has to go to http://www.sony.com/mylo from the Mylo device and they can access it.

The announcement is available on Mylo forums here.  The page lists Sudoku, Solitaire and Pait-it as games available.
