PaperPaw is a beta: for testing, and for developers, who can build their own plugins before the release. Expect rough edges.

Plugins, Games

Snake

The classic snake game.

How it works

The classic snake game. Open it from the tools menu.

Press OK or tap to start. Left and right turn the snake (on touch, tap the left or right half, or swipe in any direction). Eat the dots and avoid the walls and yourself.

Screenshots

  • Snake on the Boox Go 7: the large board with the snake ready to start and the instructions below.
  • Snake on the Xteink X4: the snake moves across the board towards the next dot, with the buttons shown below.
  • Snake in night mode on the Xteink X4 Pro: light snake and dot on a dark board, with the start instructions below.

A plugin with code runs with full access to the reader. It can read everything on it, your passwords and other secrets included, and use the network. A faulty one can crash the reader; a hostile one can damage it for good. Install it only if you trust who made it, as you would a program on a computer.

Builds

It is built for the Xteink X4, Xteink X4 Pro and Xteink X4 Classic, made for PaperPaw 0.5. A build runs on every PaperPaw of the same plugin interface. When a release raises the interface, a reader on that release waits until the author makes a new build.

On an Xteink X4 the code of all plugins you have turned on shares limited room, about 600 KB if PaperPaw came by an update from CrossPoint. If the reader says there is not enough room, a full flash with the flasher leaves about four times as much: see the help there. Few plugins with code fit on my X4

Its code, open to read

The store shows the source of every plugin with code and keeps a copy, and rebuilds each build from that source with the compiler its fingerprint names, to compare. The file served is always the one its author signed.
