A few years ago (mid-2004 I think) I got really excited about SNAP (scalable network application package). I haven’t heard much about it since (not that I had been looking very hard), but I saw it pop up again today at Forum Nokia, and I think it’s worth a fresh look. There’s a flash site explaining the tech, but the really good stuff looks like it just hit Forum Nokia:
- SNAP Mobile: Technical Overview
- SNAP Mobile: Registration And Login Guidelines For J2ME Clients
- SNAP Mobile: Game Developer’s FAQ For J2ME Clients
- SNAP Mobile: Game Developer’s Guide For J2ME Clients
- SNAP Mobile: Community Service Emulator User’s Guide
- SNAP Mobile: Hello World Tutorial For J2ME Clients
- SNAP Mobile: Community Sample Application User’s Guide
I really wish that I had enough time to read all this stuff, since it’s absolutely fascinating to me. I’ll try to download a couple of these to my 770 and read them when I get a chance. It looks like some really sweet stuff has been done with SNAP while I haven’t been looking. In particular, Nitro Spin Racer reminds me of RC Pro-Am and I so want to play it. There are a couple of other games that look pretty compelling too.
