It’s so depressing when things start going wrong. I was testing the game against the Nokia Emulators last night and the single player kept on crashing. I think I know what the problem is but you feel so knocked back that it’s hard to stay motivated.

I also need to find out how to manipulate dates properly in J2ME. The code I’ve written doesn’t want to work, so yet again, it’s right back to the drawing board. I’ve made some tweaks to the Website in preparation for the new release but I guess I’ll have to release two different versions based on the phone type.

I found that the only Nokia Series 60 Emulator kept on returning the wrong screen height for a Game Canvas set on Full Screen Height. This will be a good test for the resize code but not at present. This might mean that some series 60 Phones will not work with the Game Canvas properly so I’ll have to make available a Nokia version with their full canvas class again. Urgh!

The Nokia Prototype Emulator is so slow I’m only getting three or four test runs per half hour so progress is grinding to a hault. Still I have a new Logo, new Graphics and Work is proceeding on the new Web Services which will be needed, so it’s not all doom and gloom.
