This book shows the potential for creating mobile games for Symbian smartphones such as S60 3rd Edition, UIQ 3 or FOMA devices. It covers various aspects of mobile games on Symbian OS, with contributions from a number of experts in the mobile games industry, including Nokia's N-Gage team, Ideaworks3D, and ZingMagic, as well as academics leading the field of innovative mobile experiences.

The first part of the book discusses the mobile games industry, including why the mobile industry differs from other sectors of the games market, a discussion of the sales of mobile games, their types, the gamers who play them, and how the games are sold.

The second part describes key aspects of writing games for Symbian smartphones using Symbian C++ and native APIs. The chapters cover the use of graphics and audio, multiplayer game design, the basics of writing a game loop using Symbian OS active objects, and general good practice. A chapter covering the use of hardware APIs, such as the camera and vibra, is also included.

Part Three covers porting games to Symbian OS using C or C++, and discusses the standards support that Symbian OS provides, and some of the middleware solutions available. A chapter about the N-Gage platform discusses how Nokia is making the next generation of mobile games, by providing a platform SDK for professional games developers to port games rapidly and effectively.

The final part of the book discusses how to create mobile games for Symbian smartphones without using C or C++, using Java ME, DoJa (for Japan) or Flash Lite 2

» Developing Software For Symbian OS

The overall goal of this book is to provide introductory coverage of Symbian OS and get developers who have little or no knowledge of Symbian OS developing as quickly as possible.

A clear and concise text on how Symbian OS architecture works and the core programming techniques and concepts needed to be a solid, competent Symbian programmer
Shows how Symbian OS architecture and programming compares with other mobile operating systems (to help transition and for better understanding)
Provides multiple examples and extra descriptions for areas most difficult for new programmers who are unfamiliar to the unique OS architecture
Contains many tips and techniques documented only, up until now, by scattered white papers and newsgroup threads
Describes many details of inner operations of Symbian OS, focusing specifically on those needed to become a competent programmer

The book will cover development ranging from low-level system programming to end user GUI applications. It also covers the development and packaging tools, as well as providing some detailed reference and examples for key APIs.
