Nannoid 1.0 for Maemo
In my previous post to this blog I was experimenting with Pygame and found out that a game called Nannoid worked almost fully on the Nokia 770 without modifications. Well, I decided to modify it a bit and now it should be fully playable.
It requires you to have Pymaemo runtime installed. Also, since Python for Maemo does not yet fully support LibOsso (or something?) you wont be able to switch back to another application during the game and you don’t see the “loading…” sign when launching the application from the menu. After clicking the menu item, just wait a couple of seconds and the game will launch. You can play the game using the stylus or the keys.
Download the installer package from here. I hope you enjoy the game. Here are some screenshots…

Thanks for that .deb! This game runs great on the N770! I do have one problem though: how do I quit? (I tried a few buttons, and the fullscreen-button returned me to the desktop, but I think the game was still running in the background.)

You’re welcome… Nice to hear that you enjoy the game. You can quit during the game by pressing the button with the arrow thing (don’t know what it’s called). Then you get to the menu and you can quit there by pressing the quit menuitem. This way the game really ends.
Like you said, seems like when you press the fullscreen-button the game still stays on the background. I might disable that button, but when new release of pymaemo comes out it should resolve this application hanging in the background problem.
