1) Pyramid Solitaire
2) Jawbreaker (or something very close to it) Just looking for something to pass the time... does anyone know where I can get them for free (legally, of course)? I would have expected Microsoft to release Jawbreaker for PPC2002. | |||

Well, how about that... I found something that's freeware and basically a clone of Jawbreaker:

Even though it comes on the CD, it is still copyrighted to just those people who possess the CD. And it is against forum rules to offer copyrighted software. Hope you understand...thank you. --deftech

Ok, here are the ones I found.
Pocket POP is freeware http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=370 And if you'd like, I wrote a version of pyramid solitare that is "close" the the palm version. It requires the NSBasic runtime and S309 picturebox control from NS Basic's site. Let me know if you would like me to post it. It still has a few bugs and I haven't updated the savegames to use the registry or save what pyramid you made it to. -Kensupen | ||||

Ok, there are a few thing's you'll need for this game to work.
First download and install then NSBasic pocket PC runtime files from http://www.nsbasic.com/pub/NSBCE_fil...untime.ppc.exe Second, download and install the S309 Picturebox control from http://www.nsbasic.com/s309/PictureB...x_PocketPC.exe Then, just extract the files from the attachment to any folder on your device and run pyramid.nsb. If it doesn't work, post here and I'll try to figure out why. Also, if you see any major defects or features you'd like to see, post and I'll try to work on it. I was trying to wait for the ROM patch to work on it again, but I can fix it up anytime. I know there are a few major bugs in the undo routine, but other than that it should be ok. Let me know what you think. -Kensupen | ||||

Whoops, I forgot that WM2003 doesn't come with the eVB runtime files. Get them here

That's pretty neat... two things I would change, though:
1) On easy mode, I think I'd make the drawing limit lower. 5 seems like too high of a number -- I don't think there's any way you can really lose with 5, unless you're REALLY unlucky. I'd probably make it 3. 2) The number above the deck should count down so you know how many draws you have left after the current draw (it would start with something like 2, then go to 1, then 0 as you're cycling through the last set of cards). Other than that, it's a cool little prog. Nice work. I've been looking for something like this for a long time ![]() Why all the extra downloads? What are you using to develop this? | |||

Ok, when I get around to fixing the other bugs, I'll put those in. I never thought to have the deck draw count down, but it makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the feedback.
Well, I'm using NS Basic CE to develop this. It has a few advantages over eVB. So, in order to run it, you'd need the eVB runtime since it's running on VB, then the NS Basic runtime for the language I used and the Picturebox control is an add-in control to be able to easily use playing cards amongst other features. Finally, you need the actual program name.nsb. It's basically a script language like VB, but it has more functions. If you're running PPC2002 or earlier, you don't have to install the eVB runtime, because it's already installed. -Kensupen | ||||

I don't know about free pyramid, but how about a whole bunch of cards games for a decent price?
Here is a link to CTCards which I have had a long time and helped beta along. http://www.candtsoftware.com/ctcards.htm | |||||
