That's pretty cool. I don't have a Pebble so didn't realize they had an App Store ... makes me wonder if Flappy Pebble is next ;)

I suppose I should have seen that coming. I saw the article about it being on Google Glass now too. What a craze!

This seems to be a clone(?) of Patrick Davidson's [1] Phoenix for TI calculators [2,3].

Sure is. Not a direct clone or anything, I just use a similar style of gameplay/store mechanics. The TI calculator was my first adventure in programming...

Why is it spelled Pheonix in the logo? Is that just a typo?

rompetotoOP11y ago

Ha! good catch, thanks!

I live in Phoenix so it immediately popped out at me.

Someone should port Invaders. The source code is available. Might want to change the graphics a little to prevent letters from lawyers :)
