Hi, Im about to start a dissertation about multiplayer games on mobile phones and could do with some of your expertise. Basically I need to have an up and running multiplayer mobile game by the end of the year. I understand how to program the games in J2ME and I also understand that i need to have some kind of server. My problem lies there, i have found a couple of ''in development'' pieces of server software out there but unless i can find something definate i will have to change my thesis altogether. Does anyone know where i can find one of these? Any other information in this topic would be pretty helpful too. Thanks guys Matt Sites i have visited: http://www.terraplay.com http://www.morphun.com http://j2x.tirawireless.com/scratchy/about.jsp

do mobile phone games use sockets for data transfer? if so, you could whip up your own server pretty easily (well, not exactly easily, but it shouldn''t be too hard depending on how complex the game is).

I probably could program a server of my own but that would take time that im not realistically going to have. As it is a dissertation i will mainly get marked on the theory and not the actual implementation. The program will just be used to prove the theory behind it so i don''t want to spend all my time coding when i should be writing up...
