UkuDlalwa kweMfono yeFowuni
Ukuba awuqhelani nemidlalo ehambayo, uya kuba kungekudala kuba le yindawo enkulu elandelayo yokukhula elindelekileyo kwimakethi yemidlalo yokudlala. Umdlalo ohambayo ngumdlalo wekhompyuter odlalwa kwiselfowuni. Imidlalo yeselfowuni ihlala ikhutshelwa ngaphandle kwenethiwekhi yomqhubi weselfowuni, kodwa kwezinye iimeko imidlalo iyalayishwa nakwiziphatho eziphathwayo xa zithengiwe, okanye ngoqhagamshelo lwe-infrared, iBluetooth okanye imemori khadi. Imidlalo yeselfowuni iphuhliswa kusetyenziswa ubuchwephesha obufana neDoCoMo’s DoJa, Sun’s J2ME, Qualcomm’s BREW (Binary Runtime for Wireless) okanye i-Infusio’s ExEn (Imeko yokuSebenza). Amanye amaqonga ayafumaneka, kodwa hayi njengesiqhelo.
Amaqonga ahlukeneyo
IBREW yeyona teknoloji inamandla ngakumbi, inika, njengoko isenza, ulawulo olupheleleyo lwesiphatho kunye nokufikelela ngokupheleleyo ekusebenzeni kwayo. Nangona kunjalo la mandla angaqwalaselwanga anokuba yingozi, kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu inkqubo yophuhliso lweBREW yenzelwe ikakhulu abathengisi besoftware abaziwayo. Ngelixa i-BREW SDK (iSoftware Development Kit) ifumaneka simahla, ukuqhuba isoftware kwizixhobo zokwenene eziphathwayo (ngokuchasene ne-emulator ebonelelweyo) kufuna umsayino wedijithali onokuthi uveliswe kuphela ngezixhobo ezikhutshwe liqela elinamaqela, ezizezi ababoneleli bemixholo yeselfowuni kunye IQualcomm ngokwabo. Nokuba kunjalo, umdlalo uya kusebenza kuphela kwizixhobo ezisebenzayo zovavanyo. Ukukhutshelwa kwiifowuni eziqhelekileyo isoftware kufuneka ihlolwe, kuvavanywe kwaye inikwe imvume yiQualcomm ngenkqubo yabo yoVavanyo lweBREW.
IJava (aka ‘J2ME’ / ‘Java ME’ / ‘Java 2 Micro Edition’) ibaleka kuMatshini oSebenzayo (obizwa ngokuba yi-KVM) ovumela ukufikelela kokufanelekileyo, kodwa okungagqitywanga, kokusebenza komnxeba ophantsi. Olu luhlu longezelelekileyo lwesoftware lubonelela ngesithintelo esiqinileyo sokhuselo efuna ukunciphisa umda kwisoftware eyimpazamo okanye enobungozi. Ikwavumela isoftware yeJava ukuba ihambe ngokukhululekileyo phakathi kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo zefowuni (kunye nezinye izixhobo eziphathwayo) eziqukethe izinto zombane ezahlukeneyo, ngaphandle kokulungiswa. ixabiso elihlawulwayo kukuhla okuthobekileyo kwisantya esinokubakho somdlalo kunye nokungakwazi ukusebenzisa yonke ukusebenza kwefowuni (njengoko isoftware yeJava inokwenza kuphela into exhaswa ngulo mlinganiso uphakathi.)
Ngenxa yokhuseleko olongezelelekileyo kunye nokuhambelana, ihlala iyinkqubo elula yokubhala nokusasaza usetyenziso lweeselfowuni zeJava, kubandakanya imidlalo, kuluhlu olubanzi lweefowuni. Ngokwesiqhelo yonke into efunekayo yifumaneka simahla iJava Development Kit yokwenza isoftware yeJava uqobo, ezihamba nezixhobo zeJava ME (ezaziwa njengeJava Wireless Toolkit) yokupakisha kunye nokuvavanya isoftware ephathekayo, kunye nendawo kwindawo yewebhu (iwebhusayithi) yokubamba isicelo esiphumela xa sele silungele ukukhutshwa esidlangalaleni.
Ukuncitshiswa kwangoku kwimidlalo ephathekayo
Imidlalo yeselfowuni ihlala incinci kububanzi kwaye ihlala ixhomekeke kumdlalo weqonga olungileyo kwimizobo eqaqambileyo, ngenxa yokunqongophala kwamandla okusombulula izixhobo zabaxhasi. Enye ingxaki enkulu kubaphuhlisi kunye nabapapashi bemidlalo ehambayo kukuchaza umdlalo ngokweenkcukacha kangangokuba unika umthengi ulwazi olwaneleyo lokwenza isigqibo sokuthenga. Okwangoku, imidlalo ephathekayo ithengiswa ngabaphethe uthungelwano kunye neendawo zokuqhuba, oko kuthetha ukuba kukho imigca embalwa yesicatshulwa kwaye mhlawumbi umfanekiso-skrini womdlalo wokulukuhla umthengi. Kukho ukuthembela kwiimpawu ezinamandla kunye neelayisensi ezinje ngeTomb Raider okanye uColin McRae, umdlalo wokubaleka. Kukwakho nokusetyenziswa kweendlela zokudlala ezaziwayo nezimiselweyo, intsingiselo yomatshini wokudlala umdlalo owaziwa ngokukhawuleza kwimidlalo enjengeTetris, abahlaseli bendawo okanye iPoker. Zombini ezi ndlela zisetyenziselwa ukurhwebesha abadlali beeselfowuni ukuba bathenge imidlalo ngentlawulo xa inani elilinganiselweyo lolwazi longezwe ngumphathi ongenazingcingo, owenza njengeqela lesithathu elibamba umdlalo.
Izinto ezintsha zamva nje kwimidlalo yeselfowuni zibandakanya i-Singleplayer, iMultiplayer kunye ne-3D. Imidlalo yothando eyiyo yeyabo bobabini abadlali kunye nabadlali abaninzi. Imidlalo yabadlali abaninzi ifumana abaphulaphuli ngokukhawuleza, njengoko abadlali befumana amandla okudlala ngokuchasene nabanye abantu, ulwandiso lwendalo lonxibelelwano lwefowuni ephathekayo.
