1. The Code Zone Mobile site is now officially in beta at mobile.thecodezone.com. This should be much friendlier for platforms with small screens and/or low-performance CPU's and/or low-end browsers. The games can be sized for your particular handheld. The pages take up minimal bandwidth and have no scripting and barebones HTML.

Just for testing, here are the games on a little Sprint smartphone. I apologize for the image quality, but our little Kodak doesn't do closeups that well. The best camera in the house for taking closeup pictures is the one on the phone itself, which is a bit of a chicken-egg problem :)



Brain Bones on the phone.



Meltdown on the phone in landscape. It's playable but is fairly slow, as there's lots of animation and smartphones don't have much CPU.

If you have any suggestions or new platforms or comments, by all means email them to support@thecodezone.com.



2. Congratulations to Brain Bones, which clocked in as Kongregate's second highest-rated new game for the first week of December. Feel free to check out the game and its feedback on the Kongregate site here.



3. With the sudden "viral" popularity of a couple of my games, I've gotten a few email requests from folks who want to embed my games in their blog or website or game-portal. Since that's a lot of information to convey in an email, I put together a page with all you need to know about putting my games on your site. It's here. Thanks for your support, and keep the Code Zone virus spreading ;)
