GameGlutton update and a GameServer Library

[Gastropod]

Hi all,

We've updated our game "GameGlutton" that we had entered in the previous iDevGames contest. It has a faster loading time, and some new game types. At this point GameGlutton has around 20 game types.
What more interesting to idevgames folks though, is that we have made a simple little game gathering service called YimineeWorld.
In the past, we would have used GameRanger for net game gathering. In the last year or so, I haven't been able to get a GameRanger plugin for our games. It is quite frustrating to make a game networkable but having no one ever use it because they can't find players. So we took the difficult route of making our own Game Gathering service. In no way does it have nearly as many features as GameRanger or GameSmith. However, it may fill the needs of a few other shareware/freeware developers out there. If any developer is interested in using YimineeWorld feel free to contact us. The API is free of course, but I'd just want to verify you are actually developing a game and not just a hacker looking to abuse the server.

Take a look at the new version and let us know if you find any problems.

PS. YimineeCribbage, a different game of ours, has been updated to use YimineeWorld as well.

i hadn't realized until i went to your site -- you're the folks who made ******* (the card game)! that is sweet, i wasted a lot of time playing that game when it first came out.

i know you didn't post here for feedback, but i wanted to say something about your version of tetris: i think 'down' should make the blocks accelerate but not teleport. this is a longtime pet peeve of tetris games... i want to speed up the blocks on slow levels but still be able to move them at the last minute

anyways great game, maybe i'll see you on yiminee!

Feedback is quite welcome. In fact, I was posting here first before posting on version tracker incase there is some critical flaw on this update and I didn't see(hopefully there isn't). I just can't guarrentee when the next update will be(took 8 months for the first update).
