Free Tetris for 3rd Edition

Published by Steve Litchfield at 16:18 BST, September 22nd 2006

Maybe it's because I still feel S60 3rd Edition device owners are starved of good games that I've gotten excited over the release of the freeware S-Tris 2 by Elements Interactive. It plays well, doesn't use up huge amounts of RAM and is available for every other mobile device under the sun...

What does it take to breathe some life into OPL again? The E61/62 feels empty without it. I've almost given up on OPL now with some 7-8 two-thirds done but unfinished projects, but if we can get OPL back into S60r3, I'd get excited again.

Does anyone know why S-Tris asks for permission to make data/phone calls when it installs?

Personally, I think Python is the way forward. If Nokia/Symbian can get it polished and really integrated (ie supporting all the APIs) then it would be awesome. Although OPL was good in its day it is showing its age (eg lack of dynamically allocated arrays makes programming rather awkward).

Stris - 2 has an option to upload (to their website ?) your high scores with player name. Maybe that's why the software installer asks for permission for calls. This is available somewhere from the opening menu - I'm typing from memory here.
