[toonaughty85]

hello,
i m supposed to design a simple multiplayer mobile game..Its my semester project.
i have made the game LOBBER aka Link-5 in which the player tries to win the game by putting "5 noughts" in aline in any direction-either horizontally,vertically or diagonally.I have made the game such that both the players take turns alternatively on the same mobile.
Now the task is to make the game work with two different mobiles....I m in a dilemma...i have just one more month and donno wat to do.....Some ppl ask me to use Bluetooth and some say GPRS....i m totally confused....searched a lot but haven't found any materials that could help me....................
WHAT actually am i supposed to do???can i do it in one month??
Regards.

Hi toonaughty85,

I do not have eBooks I can share with you. Anyway i'm afraid of that being a copyright infringement and we cannot do that, unfortunately.

Do check the stuff I provided you, the JavaOne BOF has interesting links on it, i do recommend taking a look at Benhui.net for code samples - http://www.benhui.net/modules.php?name=Bluetooth

Hope it helps!

You may also have a look at the SourceForge project BlueMGF, which is a framework to create Java multiplayer games for mobile devices via bluetooth.

Hi papanci,

This project seems interesting, I was not aware of it, thanks a lot for sharing and posting about it here.

"BlueMGF is a j2me framework to create multiplayer games or applications running on mobile devices via bluetooth. An example of a Tank Combat Game for two players is included."

Best,
