Software for mobile devices

This is a game Tor Jarle, a study-buddy, made to demonstrate overhead games using GameLib. It is basically a clone of the good old Gauntlet with a few adjustment to the ruleset and input-system. I think it worked out pretty well, and the game turned out to be quite enjoyable.

This is a racer game I made to demonstrate how to make racer games using GameLib. The game grew as I got more ideas on that I wanted to add to the game. To mention some of the ideas I added to the game, I could say an interesting menu-system (needs to be seen in motion) and an input-system I haven't seen something similar to in other games for mobile devices.

This is a strategy game I made to demonstrate strategy games using GameLib. In this game you play as a black ants trying to eradict all the red ants from the map. One can buy new units at anthills and you collect resources from aphids. After a fight these aphids can also be used to give some health back to the ants. The movement radius for ants are determined by the ground type, something which is shown when you select an ant. The AI of the opposition is quite advanced, inspired by the first Advance Wars.

A clone I made of Mario to demonstrate the possibility of making platform game using GameLib. The first level of the original Super Mario Brothers game was recreated with the exeption of fire throwing and pipes.

In order to demonstrate shooter games using GameLib I tried to translate a game I made earlier for Flash, namely Fire!. I had to conclude that this translation would not be complete because of shortcomings in hardware on mobile devices. A lot of enemies would have to be cut and the animations would not have been that impressive anymore. Although I was able to take it quite far with realtime rotation of enemies and a lot of cool effect. Maybe I will resume this project one day.

For our december project we have created a system for determining our position in the real world. Based on this information, position-specific data will be presented on the mobile device. We have used a museum as a scenario, so that the information we are presented with, are virtual images that we could imagine that is placed on the walls as we move around. We use BlipNet from BlipSystems for communication between a server and the mobile device.

In my search for perfection I created this a new version which contains all functionality of the original game, plus support for absolutely all phones supporting Java. In addition this version has stronger branding than the original one.

Tic Tac Toe reproduced for mobile devices. The reason why I chosed this game, was that I have already made an applet-version, which would make it easy to convert this game to a java-based game for mobile devices.
