J2me game development query
Hi there,
i am working on a j2me game for mobile phones(in particularly 7650) <my school project>, the view of the game is that of pac-man and battlecity FOR GAMEBOY. Its like, pacman for eg, the maze is NOT FULLY DISPLAYED on screen, but captures only a close up view of pacman and its surronding area.
Therefore it looks like theres a camera overhead following pacman. hat's the kinda view idea i have for my game.... question is.... Is j2me capable of such technique? If so, where can i find samples or reference for such technique?
thanks

yes, scrolling is within the capabilities of todays phones.
None of the Emulators currently available are of any use for development, as none simulate the true speed of the device they emulate. At best they are simply tools for demonstrating 'potencial' games.
Also, an important issue is the the speeds of different phones, the differences can be absolutly massive, take for example Graphics.fillArc(...) - on nokia phones this opertion takes about 100 times longer than it does on Siemens phones!
At present, on most phones, your looking at about 20-30 drawImages @ 10 fps. (10 fps may not sound like much, but all the current phones have *very* poor lcd screens, that take upto 100ms for a pixel to fully change state, so fps>10 end up looking like blurr'o vision)
