Blasted Nokia AGAIN !!!!!

I have been stuck with this bug for the last two weeks. It turns out that it’s not a bug in my code, but a bug in the Nokia Emulator. This means I can no longer use the Nokia 0.3 SDK and have to move on to the 2.1 SDK.

I have never managed to get the 2.1 SDK to work properly, yet alone in debug mode. Maybe I’ll have more luck with the 2.1 development environment.

Setting up Bluetooth has been a pain. Finding out how to specifically search and make a service available has been tortuous. However, I am going to make my source code available to everyone so nobody ever has to go through this again!

Depressing Really

Well, it’s almost four weeks since I started looking at the Bluetooth requirements for this game and its being a constant uphill struggle.

The algorithms I’ve originally had have been ripped up twice because they didn’t make sense. At least now I’ve got a more comprehensive understanding of interfaces.

I have come to the conclusion that the game will not sell and seeing the difficulties other independents are having, I guess this is expected. I feel that the game itself will be good, with a nice little hook, but I don’t have the budget to market it.
