Instead, let??™s just jump right in, feet first, and take a quick peek at
the application, as shown in Figure 8-1.
When the application first loads, the tiles on both play grids randomly cycle through all
the different tile images that you will be trying to match. By the way, these tiles are all in-game
graphics from my PocketPC game K&G Arcade (www.omnytex.com/products.shtml). This game
contains 25 mini-games, one of them a memory game called InMemoria. So now you know
where the name comes from. (FYI, if you have a PocketPC, K&G Arcade, as well as Invasion:
Trivia!, the other game featuring nobody??™s favorite wisecracking aliens Krelmac and Gentoo,
are now free from Clickgamer when you sign up for the ClickPayGo service. Check it out at
www.clickgamer.com.)
When you are ready to play, I??™ll give you just one guess which button you click!
From there out, it??™s a simple matter of clicking two tiles and seeing whether they match.
If not, after a brief delay, they flip back over. If they match, they explode off the grid. All the
while, the grid on the right is being played by an invisible opponent, namely the server the
application is running on.
Like I said, this isn??™t exactly Grand Theft Auto, but it can be kind of fun (my son and
daughter enjoyed play-testing it, but it??™s challenging enough for us adults too, I promise!).
