Hidden games?

Austin

I was looking at the text in the resource editor and i stumbled across the words "Tetris" and "Greedy Snake" . Could these be hidden games or games that could of been on the mini player?

I think they may be games that will be included in a next version of the firmware

Not hidden, maybe in some levels of desing and development they decided to include them but, then they changed their minds....

Anyway, that's just a dictionary of terms, which miniplayer uses to show up information. Could also be possible they placed those entries there for future development of such games :D

Snake was in. I am Czech FW translator and cooperating with developers since 1.000 version. Snake is about to add, but not in next FW. Next FW will have DRM files support.

Tetris on the Meizu would be so amazing. Tetris is still one of the best all time games ever created - IMO. I really hope they follow through with that some day.

But I think they changed their minds... The keys don't really allow for an easy gameplay. I've still trouble moving around in Box Man.

quite possible. it's why i don't play the games in my miniplayer very much. i find the controls to be tedious

Tetris and Snake are possible to implement with the miniplayers keys. In Tetris you can use the M-Button to rotate considering that moving a stone upwards is not needed. And Snake can be controlled like Boxman.

You sure as hell couldn't get going very well in Tetris if you have to use the same thumb to move AND rotate blocks. Snake is easy, though.

It's be cool if they released some kinf of miniUSB game controller thing that the M6 snaps into that has NES-like controls, and communicates the button presses through the miniUSB port. It's very possible to make the player recognize the controller when you plug it in while it's turned on, like how it recognizes being plugged into the USB port of a PC.

That officially make Meizu Miniplayer thee coolest media player on earth! Great idea!

DChronos

Heh... reading my quote in your response made me realize how many typos I made right away. Oops...

But yeah, it would be awesome. And think, if someone actually could do this, and remake the firmware, then someone made an emulator for it, think about that! I mean, I found out that the screen size (320x240) is the exact same size as the game screen on the PS One game Megaman 8. I just copied a few background screenshots into the player and made wallpapers without even touching the image. You could easily fit an SNES or NES screen sized game on here.

But yeah, emulators.. I mean OFFICIAL ones! Yeah! Official! *joking*

Games with a feature to listen to your mp3 while playing would be very nice. I think we could probably get some emulators on here. However, this would require some programming in our part. Rockbox open source firmware comes to mind.

As mentioned before controlling the games is a little cumbersome but making a "mini" device which attaches to the port shouldnt be too difficult. Something similar has already been done for the Apple Video iPOD.

Just imagine playing DOOM on our Meizu's in widescreen. I wonder if we have any programmers on the board who would be willing to work with the Rockbox opensource firmware.
