Résumé

This is the only book that J2ME developers will ever need to create robust Java games for any microenvironment. Written by two award-winning and Internationally recognized Java micro-game developers. Provides exhaustive coverage of J2ME games, extensions, portable devices and competitive environments. Includes detailed explanation and all code for creating a J2ME game. Micro Java Games Development explains game development for devices that support J2ME MIDP. The six parts cover a full range of topics, from a tour of all available micro-devices (Palms, cell phones and pagers), a discussion of software standards apart from J2ME (cell phones, messaging, I-mode and wireless enhancements such as Bluetooth), and available J2ME extensions (Siemans, Ericcson, Nokia), development tools and restrictions, to the creation of a meaty J2ME game!
