Penlet Games

Penlets

As with most "productive" technologies it quickly becomes a form of entertainment as well. Phones are a great example. Sure, you use them to make calls, manage your calendar, and read your email, but you may also play the occasional game of Brick Breaker to pass some time on the train or bus. The Pulse pen is the same. Sure, it records meetings and lectures, but you can also use it to play some games to pass the time.

In the Applications section you will find two such games. The first, U.S. Capital Trivia was released a few months ago, and we received some great feedback. The second game, our latest, is the classic game of Blackjack. Now you can save yourself the trip to Vegas, and play at home, on the bus, or just about anywhere. All you need is the Pulse pen and some dot-paper.

We hope you enjoy these applications and look forward to your comments and ideas for additional games.

New to Java?

With a technology like this it is certain that non-Java programmers will want to write penlets, and will stuggle because they don't know the language. If you want to reduce the learning curve, pick up a copy of Head First Java through Amazon. It will not only speed up the learning process but also helps support this website.

We need Your Help!

We are avid developers of the Pulse smart pen, but we aren't the only ones out there. If you have web site with tutorials, articles, or applications for the Pulse pen, then we want to hear from you. Our goal is to help Pulse pen developers and users find the resources they need, even if we need to send them to another site. In our minds the more tools and resources available the better.

But what if you don't have your own site? You can still help. Send us a comment and let us know what tools or resources are missing for you to make use of your Pulse pen. We will review these mails and use them as ideas for new tutorials and applications.
