[OS2008] Tower Defence?
 

I don't know if anyonelse is adicted to the flash tower deffence game. Only thing is it does not run well on the tablet, both the flash and the interface. I was wondering if anyone knew of a project that could be ported over, I would try to help if we found an open source one to start with.

Re: Tower defence
 

I had to purposely get this blocked by my IT team at work because I wasn't getting anything done... Almost as bad as linerider

Re: Tower defence
 

I probably should too, spent 3 hours today playing

Re: Tower defence
 

I know that arnim had some kind of tower defence style game port he was working on....penguin command or something like that i think

Re: Tower defence
 

Goddamnit, now I'm hooked.

Re: Tower defence
 

Penguin Command is a completely different type of game.

anyone have an update? daddy needs his fix...

Re: Tower defence
 

I just got my N810 and its good to know i'm not the only one that is addicted to tower defense games! i'm willing to pay a few bux for the game!

Tower Defense on N810
 

Would it be possible to take this flash game and put it onto an N810 in any way?

Re: Tower Defense on N810
 

Save this in your N810 and open the SWF file with browser http://www.handdrawngames.com/Deskto...sktopTDPro.swf

I wish Plants vs Zombies ran on tablets...

Re: Tower defence
 

Oh...THAT would be both dangerous and amazing :)

Re: Tower defence
 

Tried Tower Defence, seems that we have problem with mouse click in flash - i was not able to place any towers :-((

Re: Tower defence
 

defence grid is awsome tower defence game, on PC and xbox. hope it can be ported to n900

Re: Tower defence
 

I'd pay for tower defence. drool

Re: Tower defence
 

I'd prefer flash player to be fixed rather than pay for every game like iPhoners do ;-)

Re: Tower defence
 

Well at least I can play tower defence fine ;)

You can have a look at the arcade section of my forum for free N900 friendly flash games -> http://croggesserver.se/Serverforum/arcade.php

The forum for a private wow server which exists since years and is not related with mobile phones at all but the advantage here is that you have no advertisement or other things which eat resources while you are playing. It are around 120 games totally and a few which I tested like "Desktop TD" or "Boob Bubbles" work fine on my N900. I will add more games on request, just make a topic in the forum section.

I noticed that it helps to enable "Mouse Mode" in the N900 for games like tower defence, you can enable it by clicking on the lower left part in your browser.

Edit: Even more complex games like "rocket man" work quite smooth if you set the details to "low" :)

I also hope that it is not against the forum rules here to add the links in my post.

Re: Tower defence
 

i would love to see plants vs zombies on the N900! could it not get ported? =)

Re: Tower defence
 

Ah, I like tower defense, too. On of my favorite games on the GP2x/Wiz is Sdef It's freeware but unfortunately no source available and it's not optimized for touchscreen.
Very abstract graphic but very well balanced and designed...

Re: Tower defence
 

I think there needs to be some clarification about porting.

Simply finding a game and saying "hey this is awesome" does not necessarily mean it can be ported. As a rule you need several things for a port to be made they are (in no particular order)

1) The game not to be someone's IP - in this case popcap games own the rights etc to PvZ
2) Source code. The game is in this case a flash game so even if popcap was inclined to release the source, it wouldn't really be a port of code because it is a flash file.
3) A lot of time. Porting games - especially to a completely new platform is incredibly intensive and requires an investment of not hours but months as a rule (though this can vary depending on the availability of 2)

No was far as flash being fixed Arkanoid. The issue isn't with flash on the n900 but rather your lack of knowledge regarding the browser. To get a "mouse" that will be able to click on towers etc inside the flash game - swipe from the left side of the screen inwards - this will popup a little arrow which you click - you now have an interactive cursor. If you have trouble getting the mouse to show up read one of the dozens of threads on the subject.

Re: Tower defence
 

i understand that not everything can be ported =)
I thought the game was installed on the pc, and not just a fash file. thats why i asked if it was possible to get it ported.

Re: Tower defence
 

Facebook App Zynga Texas Hold`em Poker can be ported as an application on N900...???

I tried to played it via web browser but is kinda slow...even with flash resolution set to low..!!Un-playable..

I understand that may be difficult to port it but just a though on this!

PS:I am new to the forum so nice to meet u all..

Re: Tower defence
 

Those TD games are great fun !! hope they come to the N900 :)

Re: Tower defence
 

For speed issues there are a number of other threads regarding saving the flash file locally and running it from the file manager. This can give a considerable speed increase as you dont have to deal with all the other flash on the page.

Short of that there is a new flashblocker plugin for the browser that works very well for me.

Re: Tower defence
 

This will be one of these "me too!" messages...

But please make a good tower defense game to the N900, I would easily pay money for it. :-)
My favorite is Defense Grid on the xbox360 :-)

Re: Tower defence
 

Tower Defense games are the absolute best. Ive wasted way too much of my life playing them

Re: Tower defence
 

I love Crystal Defenders on the 360 and would looove any decent tower defense game for the n900 :D

Re: Tower defence
 

Never liked a tower defense game until I played Toy Soldiers on 360. It combined a tower defense game with a Battlefield like FPS. :D

The end result is a tower defense game that lets me jump into various units (mortars, machine gunner nests, airplanes, artillery, sniper towers) and do some first person action when I get bored of the tower defensing part.

Looking for a tower defense game for OS2008
 

I don't think there's a tower defense game out there for OS2008 (the list of games is not that big) so I'm curious if anyone out there either knows of a) a flash version of one that displays and run wells on an N8x0 and/or b) if there are any open sourced tower defense game out there that might be ported.

I can't possibly be the only one who has a recurring tower defense addiction.

Re: Looking for a tower defense game for OS2008
 

Think I'll upload some more flash games later, but for now you can check here. Canyon Defence and Desktop tower defense are both tower defence clones, they are both in the link.

Re: Looking for a tower defense game for OS2008
 

Thanks I tried both.
Canyon Defense works the best but even that one is very slow on the N810.
