Well That’s Ball Crushing.

I’ve got my new Phone. It’s a Nokia 6600, which I’m incredibly impressed with. However I’ve discovered that it’s got a multiplayer snake game, which you can play over Bluetooth. A*se!

I’ve come to realise I don’t know how many of these games are there that support this kind of functionality. I was under the impression that it was pretty rare. It looks like I’ll have to go with the three-step model and hope that the free version generates enough interest for people to get the later versions.

I’m having better luck with the Java compilers but I’m now getting exceptions, which I don’t understand again. I think it’s got something to do with one of the new classes I’ve put in. I’ve tried to be clever and use an alternative to the public statements and boom.

I’m having a lot more success with the tutorials (surprise, surprise) that I’m working through but those are using a completely separate JDK. The N-Gage arrived today. Between that and the 6600, I’ve now got a full testing environment. I also think I’ve got my language design ready.

1. Display Extraction - Started, about 50% done.
2. Examine the functionality of the standard Bluetooth functions.
3. The Array list object for J2ME – This seems to work fine with the Java Prototype.
4. Basic Website design started is still on hold because I’m still knackered.
5. Started work on the first tier of menu screens on the mobile version.
6. Designing multi-language functionality – 30% design complete – Now it’s coding the bugger.
