Uma ungajwayele imidlalo yeselula, uzosheshe ube khona ngoba le yindawo enkulu elandelayo yokukhula elindelwe emakethe yemidlalo eyizigidigidi. Umdlalo weselula ngumdlalo wesoftware yekhompyutha odlalwa kuselula. Imidlalo yamaselula ivame ukulandwa ngenethiwekhi yomqhubi weselula, kepha kokunye imidlalo iyalayishwa nakumahendisethi weselula uma ithengiwe, noma ngoxhumano lwe-infrared, iBluetooth noma imemori khadi. Imidlalo yeselula ithuthukiswa kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe obufana neDoCoMo’s DoJa, Sun’s J2ME, Qualcomm’s BREW (Binary Runtime for Wireless) noma i-Infusio’s ExEn (Execution Environment). Amanye amapulatifomu ayatholakala, kepha hhayi njengokujwayelekile.

Amapulatifomu ahlukile

IBREW ubuchwepheshe obunamandla ngokwengeziwe, okunikeza, njengoba kwenza, ukulawula okuphelele kwehendisethi nokufinyelela okuphelele ekusebenzeni kwayo. Kodwa-ke lawa mandla angahloliwe angaba yingozi, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu inqubo yokuthuthukiswa kwe-BREW yenzelwe ikakhulukazi abathengisi be-software abaziwayo. Ngenkathi i-BREW SDK (i-Software Development Kit) itholakala ngokukhululeka, isoftware esebenza kwihardware yangempela yeselula (ngokungafani ne-emulator enikeziwe) idinga isiginesha yedijithali engenziwa kuphela ngamathuluzi akhishwe yidlanzana lamaqembu, okungukuthi abahlinzeki bokuqukethwe beselula kanye I-Qualcomm ngokwabo. Noma kunjalo, umdlalo uzosebenza kuphela kumadivayisi anikwe amandla wokuhlola. Ukuze ilandwe kumafoni ajwayelekile isoftware kufanele ihlolwe, ihlolwe futhi inikezwe imvume yiQualcomm ngohlelo lwabo lwe-TRUE BREW Testing.

IJava (aka ‘J2ME’ / ‘Java ME’ / ‘Java 2 Micro Edition’) isebenza ngaphezu komshini obonakalayo (obizwa nge-KVM) ovumela ukufinyelela okunengqondo, kodwa okungapheli, kokusebenza kwefoni eyisisekelo. Lolu ungqimba lwesoftware luhlinzeka ngesithiyo esiqinile sokuvikela esifuna ukukhawulela ukulimala kusuka kusoftware eyiphutha noma enobungozi. Ibuye ivumele isoftware yeJava ukuthi ihambe ngokukhululeka phakathi kwezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zefoni (nenye idivaysi ephathekayo) equkethe izinto ezihluke ngokuphelele, ngaphandle kokuguqulwa. intengo ekhokhwayo ukwehla okuncane ngesivinini somdlalo futhi ukungakwazi ukusebenzisa konke ukusebenza kwefoni (njengoba isoftware yeJava ingenza kuphela lokho okusekelwa yilolu ungqimba lwabantu abaphakathi.)

Ngenxa yalokhu kuphepha okwengeziwe nokuhambisana, imvamisa inqubo elula yokubhala nokusabalalisa izinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula zeJava, kufaka phakathi imidlalo, kumafoni ahlukahlukene. Imvamisa konke okudingekayo yikhithi yokuThuthukiswa kweJava etholakala ngokukhululekile yokwakha isoftware yeJava uqobo, amathuluzi ahambisana neJava ME (aziwa ngeJava Wireless Toolkit) yokupakisha nokuhlola isoftware ephathekayo, kanye nesikhala kwi-web server (iwebhusayithi) ukusingatha isicelo esivele lapho silungele ukukhishwa emphakathini.

# Ukulinganiselwa kwamanje kwemidlalo yeselula

Amageyimu weselula ajwayele ukuba mancane esikalini futhi avame ukuthembela ku-gameplay enhle kumahluzo agqamile, ngenxa yokuntuleka kwamandla wokucubungula amadivayisi amaklayenti. inkinga eyodwa enkulu kubathuthukisi nabashicileli bamageyimu weselula ukuchaza umdlalo ngokuningiliziwe kangangokuthi unikeza ikhasimende imininingwane eyanele yokwenza isinqumo sokuthenga. Njengamanje, amageyimu weselula athengiswa ngabathwali benethiwekhi namasango opharetha, okusho ukuthi kunemigqa embalwa kuphela yombhalo futhi mhlawumbe isithombe-skrini somdlalo ukuheha ikhasimende. Kukhona ukuthembela kumikhiqizo enamandla namalayisense afana neTomb Raider noma uColin McRae, umdlalo wokugijima. Kukhona nokusetshenziswa kwamaphethini wokudlala owaziwayo futhi asunguliwe, okusho ukuthi imishini yokudlala umdlalo ebonakalayo ngokushesha emidlalweni efana neTetris, Space Invaders noma iPoker. Womabili la macebo asetshenziselwa ukuheha abadlali bamageyimu ukuze bathenge amageyimu ngemali ekhokhwayo lapho inani elilinganiselwe lemininingwane ye-additonal linikezwa ophethe izintambo ezingenantambo, owenza njengeqembu lesithathu elibamba umdlalo.

Ukuqamba kwakamuva emidlalweni yeselula kufaka phakathi i-Singleplayer, i-Multiplayer ne-3D ihluzo. Imidlalo yothando ebonakalayo ingeyomabili amageyimu wabadlali abangabodwa nabadlali abaningi. imidlalo yabadlali abaningi ithola izethameli ngokushesha, njengoba abadlali bethola amandla okudlala ngokumelene nabanye abantu, isandiso semvelo sokuxhumeka kwefoni yabo ephathekayo.
