IPhone game

[classvtony]

hello all,
I am developing an iPhone game called hypothermia!
If anyone here has pictures of any place on San Jacinto I would love to be able to include them in the game. All of my pictures are old and black-and-white from the late 70s.
In the late 70s I was living in Snow Creek and a member of Riverside Mountain rescue. My girlfriend and I made a board game we called hypothermia, based on some of the backcountry rescues and stupid events that we heard about in the state park.

The game consisted of a winter hike from the Palm Springs aerial tramway to the peak of Mount San Jacinto. Along the way various things could happen to the players. If you landed on a hypothermia square you picked a hypothermia card these could be anything from, you fall in an icy creek to wearing too much cotton. You would then pick a rescue card which could be anything from:
you grit your teeth and push on
extra large ranger finds you and put you in his backpack, start over
Riverside Mountain rescue find you but you hassle them you're out.
And of course the worst one: They find you next spring.
Anyway any good images or stories forward them to me and they might be included in the first or the second version of the game.

Tony, when I first saw your subject I thought you were a spammer.

Do you mean like "White Out Conditions" at the summit in the Winter?



Where you have to get within three feet of the Summit Sign to see it?



And you cannot make out Cornell from the approach to Round Valley?



Or would you prefer sunny day shots going up the face of Miller looking west?


Or that long gaze down at the Banning Pass as your other escape route?



I have many many more if you want, send me a private message and I will upload all of them and send you a link to photobucket?

this is terrific, exactly what I need. A few pictures from summer on the trail would be great also.
So when the players are in the summer version pictures can pop up at various locations on the trail and a description of where the picture was taken would really be helpful.
Anyways, it's really fun making this game and only one or two of the hypothermia events are made up. There's just no end to the stupid backcountry tricks that the flatlanders provide.

I also have an iPhone avalanche inclinometer in the works which will come out before the game.

My Flickr albums have each photo geotagged so if you need a particular section of the trail, you can check the Flickr map like this:

Such a cool feature!

This is just the first screen and the first go around for the graphics.

It occurs to me that if anyone here has an iPhone and you and would like to be in on testing the game let me know.
Once it is in beta I just send you the application and a little file that allows your phone to load only this application through iTunes.
Be an iPhone developer! Or at least a beta test droid.

Actually if my other projects were half as much fun as this I would do this full time.
