Hello folks,
I've been looking around for a couple of games for the Nook STR. I've got several "slow movement" games to run properly: sudoku, reversi and gobandroid.
Is there any other recommended game? A RPG maybe? Maybe card games?
One Word - Samurai II.

I don't agree... The Nook clearly deserves a forum more than most of the devices that have been crowded into those other forums. Not only that, the Nook is pretty much a Nook Color under the hood =\, so optimizations in the Nook Color could possibly be brought over if the devs or future devs are made more aware of what's going on with it.
Besides... Every Nook Touch topic i've seen is labeled with [N2E] not to hard to avoid =|
Chess works great! It is almost as if it were meant for it all along. I am surprised frankly that B&N didn't bundle a few little board game apps on the Nook2 in the first place.
Also, Akinator (guessing game) works as well.
Tic tac toe!
Tic tac toe works with a friend using Freenote!
Okay, the Nook running Freenote only serves as scratch paper to play the game, but nevertheless it worked.
alchemie with textmode and tap to combine is playable too
The sudoku app Andoku Sudoku ( com.googlecode.andoku ) has fairly little flickering.
Has anyone found a sudoku app that is even better suited for the Nook eink screen?
Please name specific apps (not just types of apps). There are a whole lot of chess apps so getting details on one that runs well on Nook saves time.
This is the chess I tired:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.chess
Games working on my Nook Touch:
Crimson Fields
Andoku
Four in a Row HD
Find it on the market
Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:
Working so far:
- Klondike
- Reversi free
- Nemo picross
- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)
- Super Sudoku
- Klondike free
- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)
Still looking for a viable RPG - I guess Eye of the Beholder ou Bard's Tale style would work.
andoku
I have andoku running, but cannot access the check puzzle feature. Suggestion?
Never mind ..went to andoku 2. Works fine
Nethack and the Slashem variant are both great for the nook! Maybe its a little to retro for some but IMO you can't beat a classic like nethack. There's your rpg
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small. Will try slash'em!!! Thanks
Here are some other great games:
Slitherlink.
Curvy (For two colored puzzles you have to set the second color to the middle between white and black).
Droid Fish. One oft the best chess engines with a very nice sleek design, perfect for the touch. Cuckoo engine with very low setting is great for kids learning chess - it makes a lot of mistakes
Shift. Black and White! Sadly almost unplayable without multitouch. Edit: Search for v1.2, works great and is maybe the only platform game working on STR
Search for "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" in Market. It is great.
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small.

@apeine: Map volume up/down to sidebuttons --> zoom in and out
Thanks for the tip, gogolo2. Will try that! My buttons are already mapped.
Does anybody know where I can download FALLEN REALMS? It is a free app, but I couldn't download it through market, even though it is an android 2.1 version app. Tried all non-official download sites, but almost all of them lead me back to android market, and looking for "fallen realms apk" took me to almost 35 sites that I couldn't get anything at all.

Why not download it on your phone then back it up... and side load it to the nook.

Hey guys heres my first diamond app im going to make a few games that use the tilt sensor i have a few weeks free soon so keep all them ideas coming
it just simulates a bunch of differently sized balls but its cool (try it in a car with it being held flat) lol
Link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/133720330/Ball_Simulation_Ver_0.31.rar
i reposted this because the original had a bad download link sorry guys
also if you give me any ideas for small games / apps then i will try to make them as i have some free time soon
hello?
no one wants to try it
if you have can you tell me what you thought please
i also have made a magic 8 ball application using the g-sensor too
link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/133799977/Magic_8_Ball_0.1_alpha__bug_free_just_not_finished_.zip
im also working on
im also working on a game kinda like flow but that uses g-sensor for controls and stuff should be out in a week or so
Keep it up. We need all the gsensor apps we can get. I like your ball car screensaver idea.
Surur
Just tried it... would be fun if the Balls would react to one another as well as only to the "walls".
But as a "Demonstration" of the G-Sensor it's pretty good.
i will be adding collision to all the balls soon and some other things im also making a game similer to flow that uses the g-senser and i also made an 8ball app
all of this looks promissing.
A game like flow would really be cool!!!!
How about Wii Fit game that balance the ball and get the balls in the hole.
a wii fit balence game might work
i might give that a go to sometime
funny stuff, both.

now that's a good idea!!
or a PSP-Patapon type game!
I think we just need some clever XDA-developer-pro to make a button-mapper so you can replace any left/right - up/down movement of the d-pad with the g-sensor - now that'd be good
Have objects in the wallpaper change perspective as you scroll your screens left or right. Like in this vid for example.
See how all the hills in the back scroll at different rates to help give that 3D depth perspective? It would be nice to have objects (like the turtles and shrooms) moving in the foreground too.
I actually want a live wallpaper that looks just like super mario bros wii, with moving backgrounds and all.
It's hard to develop, hard to play with, and icons and widget won't help you to play. The best solution is to download a super mario bross game in the market, I don't know if it already exist but it should
A game is not what i want, i want a live wallpaper that looks like the game, if you know what i mean? I want no interaction with it beyond the change in perspective when i scroll between screens.
It doesnt have to be mario bros either, it can be anything where the objects on the wallpaper scroll at different rates to give that change in perspective.
It's called parallax scrolling. It's already in some LWPs like Silhouette but not quite in the way you're referring to.
So, yeah it definitely could be done, but as far as I'm aware hasn't yet.
Parallax Scrolling... cool, thanks.
I just found a live wall paper that appears to use it, MaryJane, from the marketplace.
The leaves in the foreground and middleground move independantly of each other and from the background as well. Looks really cool... if you dont mind the type of leaves being used.
Now, if only someone would make one that mimics mario bros wii.
Yep. The MaryJane LWP is from the same group that did Silhouette.
The parallax scrolling technique was used heavily by Nintendo back in the day, as well as the PC demoscene. I'm willing to bet they pulled it out for SMB Wii as a sort of homage to the oldschool days.
Anyways, I vote that YOU start working on a LWP featuring PS in the SMB style (holy initialisms). The concept is simple enough.
thats how you play mario

I have no coding experience and wouldnt know where to start.
Someone just released a sweet live wallpaper with mario playing in the background... not exactly what i wanted, but still pretty cool.

Here is the list of my favorite Apps on the Nook Color:
X-Plane 9 ( works very well, I love the graphics and it's slightly realistic feel)
Mini-Gore ( it's a game you won't get bored of)
ADW( I personally like the look and feel on this launcher
Skype ( like to chat to my friends)
Pulse ( works well on tablets, great for news)
Opera Browser ( love it, multi touch but can't find a way to go back to the before page)

Pew pew is a great game for xoom. Very addicting.
#2 costs like 2$. I'm going to download it and ill let you guys know how it is on the xoom!

First thoughts, nice to support the dev.
All the original game modes are still there, adds campaign, and 3 new challenge modes. Nice large update, but that's what it is... an update.
I reccomend it! I know ill be playing it for hours tomorrow haha.

he could have used a better naming scheme, PewPew Lite/Free and PewPew rather than the one and two monikers. Still, one of the absolute best games out for android and I have actually grown to like it even better than geometry wars. I have also noticed some graphical touches not present in the original pewpew like the 3d oscilatting background in certain menus. Also much more music, I like the remix of the main theme. The campaign is imaginative and a fresh break from the challenge modes. Speaking of which, the new ones are pretty aweseme like "highway" for example, a massive circle of rotating enemys and you have to play in traffic to chase after a ball. This is my favorite game for android. No question. Especially for the Xoom!
I haven't seen a lot of good Screensaver sets out there for the nook touch, most don't even properly fit the screen, and I don't care for the two that come with it. I'd like to have this thread be a place where people can post theirs and get lots of awesome ones. The only rule I can think of is all pictures should be .jpg and have to be at 600x800 res.
Installing screensavers is as easy as follows:
Plug nook into computer via usb.
In the internal flash storage go into a folder call screensavers.
Make a new folder in here. Note: the name of the folder will also be the name of the screensaver/set.
Whatever pictures you put in the new folder will be added to that screensaver/set.
I'll start off with a clean version from one of my favorite mangas Elfen Lied! If you would like the non-clean (just 5 extra pictures) pm me.
I gathered a bunch on high resolution personal photos (family, pets, vacations), opened them in gimp, cropped them so that they were the correct ratio than scaled them down to 800x600. Lastly i converted them to grayscale. Some were landscape, some were portrait. If they were landscape i had to rotate them clockwise. The hardest part was trying to get the right ratio without cutting too much out.
They fill the whole screen and look great!

Well, don't forget about these sites for your NST Screensaver pleasure:
The Nook Wallpapers Pool
The Kindle Backgrounds Pool (these work just fine as they are all in exactly the same res as the NST backgrounds)
...and, of course, the ever-popular Nook-Look.com (with screensavers for both color Nooks and e-ink versions)
Lots to choose from.
This sounds stupid, but I'm still looking for other "dead author" pics of famous people... even living authors. I know that the B&N brick and mortar store has one of Stephen King that looks pretty cool. I think that style of portrait is pretty neat. Maybe someone can come up with a Photoshop filter or something to do that...

Anyone want to pack the kindle ones up into screensaver sets(as their already black and white)? And I know someones got to have made their own that they want to show off! Like ones' of their favorite authors or the covers of their favorite books? Drizzit anyone?
I throw some of them together myself
All credit goes to The Kindle Backgrounds Pool for the following files!
These were taken around the net, I can't remeber exactly where .
EDIT: Probably some where taken from nook-look.com...
Pair of Nook Simple Touch Screensavers
Bought my Mom a Simple Touch for Xmas; she likes flowers so I put together a 5-picture flower screensaver for her that includes the "press Nook button" graphic on the bottom. Also, made a light & dark version of the B&N Nook logos for screensavers. Hope somebody can use them.
I'm not really into all that screensavers, cause i dont let my nook rest xD
i like ukiyo-e pictures cause they tend to have high contrast
also check my current desktop, unfortunately my screenshot app takes screens in color ;D
Few of mine screensavers.
This one is awesome... to prank a nook owner.
Also my compilation of Eschers graphics. They look really cool on my nook
That's pretty sweet

Brodsky and Utkin
One of my favorite artists - and the prints are almost perfect for Nook/Kindle: B&W and same dimension as a regular piece of paper.
