On the Development of Mobile Games

As the name implies, the so-called mobile games are games that can be played on mobile phones. With the development of science and technology, the functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. And mobile games are far from the games with simple pictures and rules, such as Tetris and Snake, which we remember, and then they have developed into complex forms that are comparable to handheld game consoles, entertaining and interactive. So, throw away your walkman and Gameboy and buy a good mobile phone. You will find that a mobile phone is enough to meet most of your entertainment needs on all trips.

So, to what extent has mobile games developed in the past 10 years? Below, let you follow the author's words and take an adventure in the world of mobile games!

Classification of mobile games:

Mobile games can be divided into word games and graphic games according to the differences of the games themselves.

Word games:

Word game is a game in the form of word communication. This kind of game is generally based on the tips sent by the game itself to your mobile phone to reply the corresponding information. For a simple example, the well-known short message game "virtual pet" is a typical word game. In the game, the game service provider will give you some SMS tips. For example, the service provider may send you the following short message: "Your pet is hungry: 70, hungry: 20, and tired: 20. Please reply that the number'1'means feeding,' 2' means feeding,' 3' means rest … "and so on.

There are two main types of word games: pennies.

First, SMS games

B, Wap browser game

First, the SMS game:

Like a "virtual pet". Short message game is a kind of word game. Players and game service providers communicate through the text content in short messages to achieve the purpose of playing games.

Because the whole game process of SMS games is expressed in words, the entertainment of SMS games is poor. But SMS is one of the most compatible mobile games. As long as your mobile phone can send short messages, you can enjoy the happiness brought by short message games.

B. Wap browser game:

Wap is a kind of network service for mobile phone dial-up internet access. Wap browser game, just like a simple game in which we surf the Internet with a computer and browse the web through a browser, is also a word game. Its gameplay is similar to SMS games. Players can choose different options to play the game according to the prompts on the page browsed by Wap browser. Another disadvantage of Wap games is that SMS games are not intuitive enough.

Watching word games has a common feature, that is, playing games through text description. During the game, players need to imagine too much, which makes the game relatively monotonous. Although special services such as MMS can make this kind of game more humanized, its essence still cannot be changed. Moreover, for word games, its low price threshold is still a major bottleneck restricting its development.

Graphic games:

Graphic games are closer to what we often call "electronic games". Players develop plots and play games through animation. Because the game is directly expressed by more intuitive and exquisite pictures, the gameplay and substitution sense of graphic games are often higher than those of word games. Therefore, it is widely welcomed by players.

Graphic games are mainly divided into:

(Including domestic game types only)

First, embedded games

B, java games

C. Brew game

D. Uni-java games

First, embedded games:

Embedded game is a game in which the game program is solidified in the mobile phone chip in advance. Because all the data of this game are pre-solidified in the mobile phone chip, this game cannot be modified. In other words, you can't change other games, you can only play the games that already exist in your mobile phone and you can't delete them.

"Snake 1 2" in Nokia's early mobile phones is a typical example of embedded games.

B, Java games

Java is a programming language, and we don't need to know what it is. As gamers, we only need to know two things:

First, does your mobile phone support Java? To understand this, you can consult the mobile phone manual or ask the dealer directly.

Secondly, to know whether the Java game you choose supports your mobile phone, you can refer to two chapters: "Why mobile games also have compatibility problems" and "How to download mobile games matching your mobile phone model from Sina games".

There is a misunderstanding to be explained here, that is, sometimes when we talk about java games, the first thing that comes to mind may be the configuration of high-end mobile phones. In fact, this is a big ideological misunderstanding. Because mobile phones are not computers, the word "configuration" means nothing to us.

C. Brew game

Like Java, Brew is a programming language. So again, we don't need to know what Brew is. You only need to know whether your mobile phone supports Brew. At present, only CDMA mobile phones support Brew, but CDMA also supports Java, so in order to reduce costs, ordinary developers are still willing to choose Java-based games for development. So Brew doesn't support many games.

D. Uni-Java games

Uni-Java is a new general development platform just prepared by China Unicom for its mobile phone. At present, it is still under development, and there is no mobile phone based on Uni-java. But in the near future, Uni-java will be a sharp weapon for China Unicom.

That's about it.
