It’s funny really. The actual playable part of the game has been working without a problem now for eight or nine months. It’s just this multiplayer Bluetooth that’s been holding everything up. In fact, it’s just the Map Setup that’s the problem. For instance on the success side, I’ve managed to parse one part of the map. However the rest of the map is missing the relationship data.

So the Bug search was on. Was it a problem with the conversion from binary to string? No! Were the figures being lost in the transfer between maps? No! Was the XML being generated incorrectly? Yes! Took all weekend to find that one.

There’s also been yet another SDK release from Nokia. I’ll investigate this once the Map transfer is working correctly. I won’t make the same mistake as the last beta release.
