Life 1.4 - Life is a mathematical simulation game described by John Conway in Scientific American in Oct. 1970. Several rules are used to create a next generation from a cell's 8 neighbors - Survival: A cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives. Death: A cell with 1 or less, or 4 or more neighbors, "dies". Birth: An empty cell with exactly 3 neighbors will be "born". Keywords: Life, cellular automata, Newt, mathematical simulation, Conway. 1.x and 2.0 Savvy.
Little Peking 1.3 - This is a puzzle program for Newton. It's played on a board with 12 columns and 9 rows. There are 27 types of picture tiles. Each type has four tiles. Thus the total of 108 tiles are provided. The object of the game is to delete all tiles from the board by matching tiles of the same kind. This program was tested on the MP-120 with Newton OS 1.3. It should work on other models with the same OS. We received reports that it works on the OS 2.0 as well.
Litton 1.1 - This is a puzzle program for the Newton. The object of this game is to flip tiles so that all tiles face the same side. When you tap one of 16 tiles on the board, it flips over to show its other side (heads/tails). This in turn cause other tiles to flip as well. Easy, you say? We don't think so. Requirements: This program was tested on the MP-120 with Newton OS 1.3. It should on other models with the same OS. It should work on the OS 2.0 as well, although we have not tested yet. The program takes up about 29KB of memory and consumes about 4KB of heap.
Lunacy 1.0 - This is a brain twister puzzle. The objective is to move the large tile from the upper right to the upper left of the playing field. This might be pretty easy except that the puzzle pieces are not a uniform size and shape. You slide the tiles by touching the edge closest to the direction you wish to move the tile. The important tile is the one with Lloyd's face on it. (Notice he gets frustrated as soon as you start moving his tile.).
Magic Squares - This is an application that allows you easy access to several sizes of Magic Square. A Magic Square is a matrix of numbers where all Rows and Columns add up to the same value. Several different sizes are presented, Some can be solved easily, like the 3x3, others, like the 6x6 will take a lot more time. Most have several different solutions. This version does not save but it is expected that this will / may be included in any upgrade.
Mahjongg 1.5 - The goal of the game is to remove all of the tiles. You can only remove tiles that match each other - both number and design. In addition the plant/flower tiles and the season tiles all match each other. To remove a pair of tiles, tap on them. If they match, they will disappear, else the newton will ping at you. Here's the trick - you can only tap on tiles that you can slide out to the left or right, and that are not underneath another. Think about the real game, (played with physical tiles) you have to be able to remove the piece without disturbing any others.
Mancala 1.1 - Mancala by Allan Marcus. This is a Newton game based on the old African game Mancala. There are many variations to the game in general, this is just one of them. The object is to get all the stones (or the most). Instructions are included within the game. New for version 1.1 - Newton plays smarter! The User can configure board to start with 2-6 stones in each hole. Games automatically ends when one player has captured more than half the stones.
MineField for Newton 2.x
Morpion - Morpion is a simple solitaire game I used to play on paper when I was a kid. Over the years I have been programming it on various platforms I have been in contact with. This is usually the first application I write to familiarize myself with a new system or language. The goal of Morpion is to draw as many line segments as possible. A segment can be drawn by using five existing dots or by adding a fifth dot to four existing dots. In the latest case, the position of the missing dot doesnąt matter. It can be at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle of the segment. With some practice you should be able to go above 100. This freeware program is for the Newton.
Motile Demo - From the creators of "Columbo's Mystery Capers" and "Dell Crosswords & Other Word Games" comes the first action-strategy game for the Newton -- Motile! The Motile demo has complete on-line help, and four sample levels to give you an idea of what the game is like. For each maze, Moe has a set time limit to reach the goal. The clock does not start until the first wall is placed or removed. Once you think you've found the solution, release Moe, and hope he makes it to the star. The actual game contains over 100 levels on a 1 MB PC-MCIA card, and will give you many, many hours of fun. Before you try some levels, we suggest you tap the Quick Start Info button first. We hope you enjoy it! It's fun!! |
