The Case Study for Three Kinds of Mobile Games

Happy farm, Plants versus Zombies, and Gallant fighter with Double Blade—three games structures, the file hierarchies, the main game classes design and methods to develop the mobile game online are illustrated. All of them are widely welcomed recently. Game API in the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 is used to build the game engine for Happy farm online, the Android OS 2.1 and 2.2 are used to build the games engine for Plants vs Zombies and Gallant fighter with Double Blade respectively. The components designs and implementation steps of the games are introduced in detail. Various techniques, such as object pool, multi-threaded, socket connection, Maps etc., are applied in game’s development. Experiments demonstrate its performance and proves that these cases are meaningful and useful to develop other online mobile games.
