eReader with minesweeper

Share Collapse

Author Comments

When I first started this project I was thinking of making my blog look and feel like my Kindle but once I manged to get that working I realized that, like future kindles, my eReader should be app-able. Thus, here I am showing off what I have so far in the hopes that others may join me in creating more games for the eReader and maybe recreate the blog platform.

Edit: Well... it seems Newgrounds has their site set up in a way that this won't work here. You can still play three levels of minesweeper though! Click the menu button on the right, and then pick Minesweeper from the list. Sorry. If you want to see this working please go to http://www.mcwhittemore.c om/eReader/

Edit: Thanks for you who have reviewed and voted, your input is very helpful. Also, if you haven't please check out the fully working version at the url above. Sorry, it seems Newgrounds doesn't let you interact with xml.

A Little Too Sensitive

Ease it down, will ya?

Cute idea

Neat idea, but the controls were SO sensitive, I had a really hard time playing.

Thanks for the input. I will sit down and make a few quick changes. If you want to see the eReader in action, just hop on over to mcwhittemore.com/eReader

Sensitivity

The Minesweeper game is really difficult to play because of the sensitivity.

Thanks for the input. I will sit down and make a few quick changes. Someone had recommended using the onKeyUp function. If you want to see the eReader in action, just hop on over to mcwhittemore.com/eReader

Key presses

This was a great tech demo, but you need to use onKeyUp instead of onKeyDown - the key-presses are way too sensitive to play the Minesweeper game, which, I imagine, would translate into the reader.

Otherwise a great demo. Good luck in allowing it to read external materials
