Zplet J2ME

[GPF]

Don't know if the Ngage plays J2ME but I have ported the Z Machine emulator with MiniZork to J2ME from the ZPlet java applet. Works great in the j2me emulator, only show the first screen on my cell phone, an LG 1300C.

I still have a lot of work to do on it but its kind of cool seeing it on a cell phone.

Developing Applications for the N-Gage
There are two types of development that can occur for an N-Gage machine—J2ME development and cartridge game development. If you want to develop a game or other application that can be downloaded, you'll want to use J2ME. The N-Gage supports J2ME by using Java MIDP. It is no surprise that the device also supports the Series 60 SDK and UI. Series 60 is one of Nokia's primariy development platforms for mobile and wireless devices. You can learn more about J2ME and MIDP by checking out C. Enrique Ortiz's article The J2ME Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0.

Yes J2ME stuff works on the N-Gage

Cool.

Well I got it working on my phone, I had to implement a More function so that when the screen fills up, it waits for you to press a key and then clears the screen and continues.

Its still hardcoded for my phone, so I need to figure out how to calculate the screen height and width so its not hardcoded.

Cant wait

ill post news once a preview release (or whatever) is out

I rearranged the items on the Form, so the TextField now comes before the StringItem and I removed the [more] function, so now you can scroll the whole page of information on the screen. And it works on my LG 1300C phone. I need to buy a serial/usb cable, it probably cost me $15 to test it on the phone



I have since also found that there was a sourceforge project for Zplet and have ported it to j2me, and called it Z2me , I have only tested it on the emulator so far, but it supports save and restore, but with the minizork.z3 file in the jar its 64k in size obfusicated. So I will probably need to do some optimization to get it running faster and smaller.

Once that is done, I need to figure out the licenses for how I can release it.

Hello ... I would like to test the program on RIM Blackberry pager. Is it available for me to test, even if it is alpha.

Thanks,
