| I was just on a website that claims its games can be run on a Nokia cellphone. My question is Is it true that Blitz3D can be used to make games that run on cellphones. If it is true, how does a programmer go about doing these things? |
| ||
| You cannot use Blitz3D to develop games for cell phones. BlitzPlus: Possibly. Java is probably your best bet. |
| ||
| Neither Blitz Plus can be used. Maybe Mobile Basic will do what you need, I don't know if it's good. http://www.mobilebasic.com/ |

| like noel said: java |

| eBusiness - Wasn't your Harddrive dead a few weeks ago??? I would use C# to write a game for a phone because I would want to use the Yeti Editor and make a DOOM style FPS... http://www.theteahouse.com.au/gba/ I sure wish this was exported for blitz... |
| ||
| Microsoft offers a free compiler download for PocketPC/WindowsCE, which also works on some cell phones. You're coding in C++, but if that's not an issue for you, it's a good deal. That's what I used for "Pocket Bubble Bomb". |
| ||
| Goto the nokia developer site..you can free sdks for all their java set ups, including free n-gage sdks/compilers etc. |
| ||
| Research J2ME and MIDP, both are core technologies for developing on Mobile devices that support Java. This book: J2ME Game Programming, is an excellent resource. This link: http://www.arcadepod.com/java/display.php?cat_id=210&st=1 is a listing of games programmed in Java, some of which could be adapted for MD play. |
| ||
| could you be talking about the blitzjava.com site ? Either way id like to see the site that claims this, the way im doing it at the moment is a 3rd party software house thats taking my blitz games and porting them over to the mobile platforms that I request. So if there is another option id like to know about it. |

| That mobileBASIC is rather good! Very easy to use. Pretty straight forward in a Blitz kind of way. I managed to create an AmigaBall demo and it more or less works except for the sound/speed/transparency problems ..  Mobile BASIC source code: sub main
rem Mimic phones speed. Set to 0 before compling MIDlet (J2ME)
global delay%
delay%=250
rem Get phones display width/height
sw%=screenwidth() : sh%=screenheight()
rem Load media
gelload "Gshadow","shadow.png" : spritegel "shadow","Gshadow"
gelload "Gball","AmigaBall.png" : spritegel "ball","Gball"
spritepriority "ball",1
ballW%=gelwidth("Gball") : ballH%=gelheight("Gball")
rem Init vars
x=float(sw%)/2 : y=16.0
dx=2.4 : jh=0.0
rem Main loop
repeat
rem Clear screen
setcolor 160,160,180
fillrect 0,0,sw%,sh%
setcolor 170,0,170
rem Draw grid
for l%=10 to sh%-20 step 10
drawline 10,l%,sw%-8,l%
next l%
for l%=10 to sw%-6 step 10
drawline l%,10,l%,sh%-20
next l%
rem Bounce in X direction
if x<0 or (x>sw%-ballW%) then
dx=-dx
endif
rem Bounce in Y direction
if y>=(sh%-ballH%-8) then
jh=-10.5
playwav "bounce.wav"
vibrate 40,3
endif
rem Update balls X/Y vars
x=x+dx : y=y+jh : jh=jh+0.5
rem Draw shadow and main ball
spritemove "shadow",int(x)+8,int(y)-4
spritemove "ball",int(x),int(y)
rem Refresh display
repaint
rem small pause
sleep 1+delay%
until fire()
end
endsub |
