PuyoMobile 0.4 release

A new version of Puyo Mobile is now available.

Highlight in this release is
(1) Game level support. The level will be increased when you win every 50 points. The falling speed of the balls will be faster. The level is saved together with your points in the scoreboard.
(2) Multiple language support. Initially you can switch to English or Chinese.
(3) Blinking effects when the balls are going to be removed.

The download link contains the JAR file for installation. Anyone interested in the code can download the source here.

Puyo Mobile 0.3 has been released.

At last I've got some time to add the sound features to Puyo Mobile. Various minor issues on Nokia phones have also been ironed out. In addition, the project file is updated so that you can download the source file and load it in Netbeans 6.0.

This is the direct download link for the zipped jar and jad if you're eager to try it.

Have fun!

Update from Netbeans 5.5 to Netbeans 6.0

When I update from Netbeans 5.5 to 6.0, I can't start the emulator for J2ME development anymore. Later I've found that the problem is that Netbeans 6.0 is bundled with WTK(Wireless ToolKits) 2.5.2, whereas the 5.5 uses WTK 2.2. Then I go to the menu "Tools"->"java platforms" and remove the WTK 2.2. After removal, you'll see the project icons using J2ME show some errors in the "Project Navigator" view. Don't panic. Just go to the "Project Properties" dialog to ensure the "Emulator Platform" is WTK 2.5.2. Click OK button and you're done!
