Dungeon Master Forum

...like the Blackberry?

I'm sure there would be issues - like "how to click if there is no touch-screen*", but how non-trivial would the port be?

* for this one, I say we add keyboard mappings to replace screen clicks.

I would guess that it's easy, but I don't really know anything about Java on these kinds of devices. Assume that it currently runs "as-is", then added keyboard mappings shouldn't be too hard.

You should ask with Doug Bell for that - he`s a Java Guru, sitting deeply in that kind of stuff

I know they use a reduced-set of Java...J2ME (Micro Edition); I don't know how easily DMJ would port to J2ME (I assume it's J2EE?)

Is there any documentation of what all the "click points" (hot-spots for mouse clicks) are? If I had that list, I could work on a keyboard-mapping approach.

And...where do I find Doug Bell? Is that his login?

hehe, I was joking. Doug Bell is a guy who wrote a Dungeon Master game (in c), and in the 90s he started programming in Java, so he`d be interested in DmJava I guess

*Cough* He co-wrote and directed THE "Dungeon Master". It's why we're all here. Give the man some proper credit!

I know nothing about ME, but I doubt that there is many (if any) base classes used that are not present. There is no documentation, but you could simply search the source for MouseListener & KeyboardListener usages.

you`re right Gambit, sorry.. And I think he was interested in DmJava, even posted on that forum that it is a cool project!

So...I've exposed myself as somewhat of a newb, I gues

I've found the Java source, and it's easier to understand than the last source I remember (I think that was the CSBWin source)...so I might stand a chance of doing a conversion all by my lonesome.

Wish me luck!

If I can make it work, I'll let every body know. No breath-holding, though, OK?
