Abstract

The thesis proposes a new Java Application Programming Interface (API) for developing multiplayer mobile games. The proposed API is organized in such a way that it can easily be integrated with the existing suite of APIs defined in the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)---the Java edition that specifically targets mobile devices. The proposed API provides J2ME programmers with components that simplify multiplayer mobile game development process. The main idea of the API is to encapsulate low-level technical details associated with establishing and maintaining communication links between mobile devices. A programmer who uses the API is only concerned with the high-level multiplayer aspects of programming such as managing game players and sessions. The actual implementation of the API on each target device is responsible for utilizing the supported underlying network protocols such as the Bluetooth, HTTP and IEEE 802.11b.
