Today, we take a trip to something eerily similar to something I recently did!

Five years ago I had my first J2ME compatible mobile phone. A Samsung U600 is actually a remarkably nice phone. Five years later, the phone is still in a lovely condition, and is in regular use by my Mum, who now only accidentally hits the incredibly sensitive call button once every week or so!

It's a great little phone, and it's nice and neat and compact.
But today's post isn't about a phone. It's about the first game I ever wrote for it!-=-=-

2008 - Centipong Jr

I'd recently made a nice Centipede/Pong mashup, and decided it might be a nice game to attempt on my new phone, so I downloaded.. Dum-dum-durrrr... Java!!!

I must admit, I didn't enjoy this. You'll probably notice a lack of J2ME games in the Archive.
There's this one, which I struggled to write, then a bunch written using MidletPascal, which made things a heck of a lot easier to deal with!
I'm just not a fan of Java, J2ME, or any other form of niggly horrible nastiness.

Centipong Jr works more or less ok, but it's not the best..

You can Download Centipong Jr here for anything that might be J2ME compatible.
Alternatively, if you have a newer Android device, C3ntipong is available for that, and it works much better.
Additionally, you can also grab C3ntipong in the AppStore for iDevices! Yeay!
