I have been hard at work (in my spare time at least harr) working on updating 5 or more to get it into a much more playable state. I think I am down to 2 more bugs. One is a big pain in the ass and the other isnt too bad. Sometimes if you are able to fill the whole board and you get a 5 in a row RIGHT at the last second, it will go to gameover. I know what is wrong, I just havent fixed it yet.
The reason I haven’t is that I decided to get my mind off of it by making another Pre game. This one is much more recognizable, which is Simon. Yep, that game that you played with you were like 8, with the 4 buttons and you have to repeat the pattern. Anyways, it is in version 0.5.04 at the moment. I still have some things to work on it though. The pre does not seem to handle audio very well though. Almost as if it is a delicate flower.
Anyways, if you want to check out the updated game and simon, here you go!
Simon v0.5.04
Five or More v.0.7.25
Also, I do plan on doing some WebOs tutorials in a bit, so stay turned!
Marcel Palm Pre, Random Notes
So I have gotten my first Palm Pre game in a playable state, sans one bug that I am currently working on. The game is called 5 or more and I have included the rules and how to play with the game (under the help menu). You will need to have your pre in developer mode in order to install it (note this is different from having to root your pre) and use this application to get the game onto your phone:

And here is the game:

Some screen shots:

Things on the todo list:
- fix bug that doesnt let you move a piece to a certain spot
- Sound (sound from moving. maybe ambient music while playing?
- Add a background
- Add “special pieces”
- Add achievements
- Change the scoring around a little bit
Of course, if anyone wants to give any feed back on the gameplay, let me know. I also already want to rewrite this app. This definitely started with something where I was learning javascript, but definitely not applying best practices. Soon I will be picking up a few books to help out with that. I do have a few other ideas for games to create, so keep an eye out 
.
ps
Although I am sure many of you have heard, Palm made the SDK publicly available. So feel free to check it out.
