HTower is a Pocket PC version of a game I made when I was a kid, back
in '93. It is also a Pocket PC version of the famous Indian game (The
Towers of Hanoi), which,
according to the story, should be played with golden discs and brilliant axes,
or vice versa.
You can put a smaller number on a bigger one or in the empty column, by
holding & dragging top pieces with the stylus. The goal is to move the
pieces 1-8 from the left column to another one (middle or right).
This, at best, can be done in 255 moves. Enjoy!
This program is freeware.
Release date: 28/01/02.
Please send bug reports, ideas for future freeware game releases, etc to
Pavel (boss@bugpower.co.il).
Download the above file and run it on your desktop computer.
It will connect to your ActiveSync and install the software on your Pocket PC.
After installing, run HTower from Start Menu\Programs\HTower.
Enjoy!
Wireless installation instructions (If you don't have a desktop machine)
Alternatively, If you don't have a desktop machine and you wish to install it
directly on the Pocket PC, you can download CAB file for your CPU separately
from the installation executable.
Here are 3 of them: ARM, MIPS
and SH3. .
Usage Instructions
Usage is fairly simple. You can drag pieces from column to column, but you
can't put a bigger number on a smaller one. The game has a solution in 255
moves. At the end, there's a surprise waiting for you :)
Freeware Notice
I'm a strong believer in freeware concept. CEZebra
was my biggest Pocket PC game project, and it's a freeware, For me, having
fantastic reviews and 10K happy users (as it was in the case of CEZebra) is a
much greater pleasure than a few K bucks. I have a lot of great software ideas
for Pocket PC, and I would like to hear yours to implement. I would like to make
them freeware, too. (If I can afford it).
However, it's hard to make a living from this kind of a concept, so I decided to
give You an opportunity to register this fully-functional freeware game
(HTower), for price as low as $10 - in order to support future freeware
development here. If you'd like to register (You'll also get a copy registered
to you), please contact me at boss@bugpower.co.il.
