and back down again ....

Well, the initial excitement has worn off. And now that I’m finally playing around with the user interface, I’m really disappointed. I think I’ll have to Change the screens from forms to Listboxes because they are easier to use and less fiddly for the user. It basically means a total re-write of the screen’s I’ve got, but not that I’ve got an initial run under my belt I’m confident it won’t take long.

I was so naïve to think that this game would be unique with its multiplayer aspect. However I was very wrong. There are games all over the place with duelling. Still I feel I owe it to myself just to carry on and see what happens, because this game will not only work on Nokias.

It should be very easy to port to other JDKs and thus other phones. Each game can play against any other regardless of the hardware it’s on and that is the big advantage. The language seems to be coming along fine as well, so I’m more upbeat than normal.
