BlackBerry game development in one day
Recently I got a BlackBerry 7130g device. I picked it up for 2 reason: It was cheap (around $30) and I wanted to see what’s a BlackBerry like.
I liked it so much that I have started using it as my main phone. (I also have a Windows Mobile phone running the BlackBerry (BIS) service, so the push email thing wasn’t that new).
Since it supports J2ME I decided to give it a try. All I can say that the BlackBerry JDE is a wonderful programming tool. The installation went smooth, and I decided to see what can I do in one day with it. My Java programming skills are very limited … actually this my first application written in J2ME.
I decided to write a small puzzle game implementing the famous Chinese game, Daughter In The Box (also known as: Hua Rong Dao).
The purpose of the game is to slide the puzzle pieces until you manage to slide the biggest piece (the daughter) to the exit point. It’s a very captivating and challenging game. Here is how it looks:
I made the entire game code, and the graphics in one day. The game is fully functional.
Here is the link, if you want to download it, and try it on your BlackBerry:
Daughter In A Box for the BlackBerry.
Also, here are the links to the .cod and .jar files.
