Just a heads up guys that there have been quite a number of Games being released as Dashboard gadgets recently, including Tetris, Minesweeper, Solitaire, Snake, Connect Four and more. Many of them are actually by MacNN member 'Black Book'.

Some screenshots:



To download any of the above, just visit The Dashboarder. Enjoy!

Those are some very impressive games...When Tiger hits widespread, I have a feeling there will be hundreds/thousands of these things, if they are as easy to code as Apple claims (they probably are).

I wouldn't say they were that easy to code, but then I would . It depends on your experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I suppose. Saying that, all the gadgets I've done so far have been done on the sly at work.

Rick (the guy who did the graphics for miniPatience) is incredibly talented and is working on 'sexifying' all the other gadgets I've done. I noticed you left out the absolute minging ones Jer

I quite liked the old-school charm. It's getting updated soon though.
