Black Berry smart phones aren’t just for business. In fact, throw away that boring spreadsheet, tear up that yearly budget report—the Black Berry is a lean, mean game-playing machine. Carol Hamer and Andrew Davison, expert software game developers, show you how to leverage the Black Berry Java™ Development Environment (based on Java ME) to design and create fun, sophisticated game applications from role playing to dueling with light sabers. The Black Berry: not as clumsy or as random as a blaster—an elegant device, for a more civilized age.
In this book, Carol and Andrew give you the professional techniques you need to use music, 2D and 3D graphics, maps, and game design patterns to build peer-to-peer games, role playing games, and more for the Black Berry.
