Pengcheng Zhao · Theseus (Ammattikorkeakoulujen) · 2010
Mobile games are becoming more and more popular and the industry is increasing quickly. However, majority of these mobile games are single player games. In this thesis, I developed a multi-player game. One of the key points in a multi-player game is the communication between mobile phones. There are many ways can achieve this, such as Infrared Ports, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technology. Of these three methods, Bluetooth is the most suitable one for my application. In this thesis, I used Bluetooth API (JSR 82) to build a simple local wireless network to allow two mobile phones to exchange data. The game in this thesis is a rock-paper-scissors game which is introduced first. Next, the Bluetooth implementation is discussed.
