the Nokia 6230

I've been checking out J2ME using Eclipse and have written a few small apps to familiarise myself with its differences from regular java and C++.

if you've got a Nokia 6230 then goto the game downloads menu and use the address :

I've been frustrated with sound and have learnt that the code is very platform dependent. Also interesting, reading up on business models.

I've rewritten the Spore 'logo', written a basic Pong game (to go bluetooth at some point) and had a look at camera and image access (not so much joy on the 6230).


To get going on coding phones :

1.Install JDK.
J2SE 1.5 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/index.jsp

2.Install J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2
http://java.sun.com/products/j2mewtoolkit/download-2_2.html

3.Install Eclipse 3
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php

4.Download EclipseME 0.7.0
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=86...blah

5.Then any platform plugins for Eclipse depending on the phone.

ps: my favourite mobile app of all time mygirls. If only I'd had this in my bachelor days! But even for settled couples - this could be a relationship saver!!! (its indicates PMT!!!!!). Apologies for being a bit unPC ;-b
