Rocketship: writing a PalmPilot game (continued)

Next month
This initial version of Rocketship is pretty minimalist, but it gives a framework, along with demonstrating use of hardware buttons and background processing using nilEvent.

Next month we'll expand the game a bit. We'll give it a goal, some scoring, and save some preferences.

In the meantime, find some kiddies and let them play with your PalmPilot organizer!
