Zplet J2ME

[vinniet]

Yes it does run and I get the begining of zork but I can not type anything. If I press the wheel I have the options, enter, select, and exit. If I press enter I get the prompt, "I Beg your pardon?" but again can not type.

I brought zplet into the blackberry emulator and it worked the same. Any idea why I can not use the keyboard?

Thanks,

yeah its hardcoded right now, to map cellphone numbers to letters. Since the blackberry has a keyboard I don't know if the number keys would work?

I'll have to rewrite the entry code, so that if it gets letters it uses them instead of mapping.

I have tried numbers but nothing that I type will show up. Except for pushing the wheel and selecting ENTER is the only key that I can get working. There is the room location scrolling on the bottom. I can use the wheel to look forward or back thru the log. Except when I press enter and I get "Beg your pardon" it clears the screen and I loose history.

Like I said before I have setup the emulator so I can try anything safely.

Thanks again,

Vinnie

CORRECTION ... it works!!

Sorry ... I looked at the pictures and noticed that input line is at the top. I then scrolled to the top, I was actually there, and typed in a command and it works. Only limitation is that it keeps clearing the screen after each command so I loose history. Is there a way to stop that??

Another small anoyance is that you can not use enter on the keyboard, you have to press the wheel and select enter.

Also save and restore failed. Not sure if they work on the phone. I tried to test this out with microemulator and it did not work at all. Not sure if that is not compient. What emulator do you use??

I accidently sent the links to my very first port. I have since re-ported the Jplet from sourceforge which has save/restore support.

Yes I see it looks much nicer but I can not use the keyboard. I have to press number to type letters. The last port actually worked better in that reguard.

Also since I do not have any soft keys I do not see a way to change enter something. I do not know what that maps to in a blackberry.

I now have the blackberry emulator set up so I will take a look at making it work for it, hopefully next week.

OK I got the keyboard working in the blackberry emulator.

trackwheel up and down should scroll through the screen history, right seems to bring up the menu which you can view the about screen.

Now it just needs to be tested on a real blackberry, which I don't own -send me one please

Im looking for a zmachine emulator for my 7200 :-)

Did you release the source/binaries anywhere? I checked the zplet sourceforge site, but there hasn't been an update since 2001...
