Looking for J2ME programmer, artist here

Java on Mobile Devices J2ME
#1

Hey I was wondering if it is possible to make a game like DDR for a cell phone, maybe using MIDI ringers or something. I’m an OK artist in pixeling and looking for a programmer that is up for the job. No money to pay, just for fun, or for the programmers looking for a challenge. My email is Shym@sc.rr.com, AIM: Shym85

Just email/AIM me, or post here. thx.

DDR?

Double Data Rate is the only use of that acronym I can think of. (though Double DRagon kinda fits, and so does Dungeons & DRagons ???)

ah, the wonders of google - does DDR perhaps stand for Dance Dance Revolution?

I was wondering what DDR was and I think you’re right. The whole concept of DDR on a cell phone is great. I can imagine waves of students dancing/stomping on their cell phones between classes, pulverizing them into bits. ;D

we can but pray :wink:

#5

well use numbers or the d-pad

is it possible and is anyone up for it? thx.

#6

its perfectly possible (infact fairly simple) though midi support is less than complete.
and even the Sun examples running on the Sun emulator don’t work properly :confused:
However midi is only available on MIDP2.0 compliant phones, so your gonna be waiting a while before you get a market.

#7

so it wont work with J2ME?

Wanna make one with me if its simple? :smiley:

Sorry, I gave up on the mobile stuff 3 months ago.
Programming for limited capability devices, and crap apis is just no fun :frowning:

but i’ll stand by my original comment, it would be very easy to do using J2ME CLDC/MIDP2.0.
(thats the J2ME Platform CLDC Configuration and MIDP2.0 Profile)

#9

is anyone willing to? :frowning:

#10

If you don’t find anyone here you might look at Pixelation.com there are a number of people there that program for phones. It would be interesting to see what responses you get there as usually it is a programmer needing an artist.

#11

well thats where i came from… :stuck_out_tongue:

So any ideaS?

#12

i might be able to help you. that is, if you are still interested…

#13

actually lets correct some FUD here…

the midi portion of J2ME MIPD 2.0 came from closed apis of Siemens and etc…so yes you can do ddr on MIDP 1.0 although you will have a porting challenge between different MIDI apis with different cell phone vendors…

#14

that’s true… i should have mentioned that before. the point is there is a large number of phones out their with the capability to play midis with proprietary extensions on MIDP1.0(sprint siemens etc).

it might be a bit of a pain to have separate builds for each proprietary api, but it can be done. i’ve done it with other apps.
