Getting iPhone games soon - the proof is in the code!
Apple's got to release some official gaming applications for the
iPhone. As nice as web-based gaming applications can be, nothing can
beat the speed, integration, and convenience of a natively installed
game application. But, until we get more solid proof that Apple is
working to help iPhone users across the nation waste precious working
hours playing on the iPhone, this latest nugget of code will have to
be filed as speculation, nothing less.
Apparently, a bit of fishing around inside the iPhone's code reveals a
couple of lines that seem to directly imply that native iPhone gaming
will soon be upon us. Here's the code:
/* ===== iPhone Game Item Strings ===== */ "4329.001'' = "Are you
sure you want to remove the selected game from your iPhone?";
"4329.002'' = "Are you sure you want to remove the selected games
from your iPhone?";
Why would Apple include code that would prompt a user to confirm a
game deletion? Because they are likely planning on releasing games for
the iPhone. We're done speculating on what features a future iPhone
update might bring, but we sure do hope that a v1.1 update come toting
some games (and iChat, of course).

New iPhone Game : Duck Hunt
Apple iPhone owners can now play "Duck Hunt" thanks to Deron Dantzler,
who coded a JavaScript-based version of the Duck Hunt game optimized
for the iPhone.
Wrote Mr Dantzler himself:
I've never programmed a game before, nor do I claim to be a
professional. I'm not really sure what motivated me to do this, it
was kind of just an idea hatched out of boredom that turned into a
pretty fun little project. I'm sure that there are plenty of bugs
to be found, but for those of you who do not want to hack your
iPhone in order to play an old classic, this might be a quick fix
(even if it isn't as cool as Mario).
