i have an idea.. a worms game for palm os! there is a ripp-off but it sucks.. big time http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=4555 would it be possible to make a palm os version of worms? if team 17 wont do it, are there anynother palm users on these forums? if so, would you like to help me with making a worms like game? ive got the software for it and i can send it to you if you'd like to help me...

here's a example of basic scripting on palm os

' iBHello.ibas

{CREATORID "LDIH"}

{VERSION "2.0"}

BEGIN

LABEL #1,"Hello World",50,70

A=WAITEVENT

END
would result into the message "Hello World" at the center of the screen

WWP was released for PalmOS. I can only find the link for the PocketPC version but apparently it does exist...

I remember Rifleslugs. That was the game that introduced me to Worms. But I was too cheap to buy it.

it looks like hexacto worked with team 17 to make a pocket pc, palm os and smartphone os.. but the team 17 website only gives this (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=5442) press release.. the hexacto website seems to be dead atm or hexacto got bankrupt :/

Well it appears to have been released. (http://pocketmatrix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=172618&sid=c6f9a68ecc28406c1a7fd3752c36b798)
The site appears to have died around march 2005, and it seems they had changed name to Jamdat mobile, which is now eamobile (http://www.eamobile.com/Web/Catalog/)(you get directed there if you type www.jamdat.com ), altough they don't seem to have WWP anymore...

that isnt always the problem.. palms have different screen resolutions, different screen colours, different sound quality, different buttons,...
i have a zire 31 (http://www.palmclub.nl/reviews/526/Palm/Hardware-Palm/palmOne-Zire-31.html), wich has two hard keys and a 5 way navigation kay.. if i want to go up in some games i need to press up, select, up, on other pda (http://euro.palm.com/nl/nl/products/palmm515/index.html)'s with 4 hard keys and just 1 up and 1 down button you'll have to pess up to go up

I've a Sony Clie PEG-TG50 with Palm OS 5, built-in keyboard and a 320x320 screen.
Sony was the first firm which produced Palm OS organizers with high resolution screens and multimedia functions. And since some years they stopped to build them. *sniff*

Rifleslugs isn't so good like Snails, but a orginal Worms would be the best.
I also noticed that there wasn't WWP for Palm OS on the web. :(
