I've been looking into anything I can dig up about mobile phone game programming and every where I turn I see J2ME (Java 2 Micro Editiion). I've been inspired to research mobile phone programming ever since I re read John Carmack's blog
on his journey into mobile phone game programming. You may have already read about this at the Human Debugger blog, but I suppose I am going into a tad more detail here. I've been searching through
forums on the topics. I even went to
Sun Microsytem on J2ME, but I can't find any step by step for dummies process on how to make games for cell phones. Maybe this a good time for a conspiracy theory: the programmers at Sun Microsystems wants everyone to think programming games for cell phones is complicated so that there are fewer free lance programmers competing in the market. I'm wondering if I can use C++ to make games for programmers but everywhere I go its just J2ME.
A long while has passed since the last time I studied Java. I've been focused on C++. I'm confident that relearning Java isnt going to be much of a task now that I have a stronger grip over programming since I'm already almost fluent in C++ and understand the main idea of object oriented programming. Seems that Java is dominant in mobile programming which gives me incentive to practice Java alongside C++.
The last time I posted here was in May 2008, and almost a whole year has passed since then.
