Applications: A game unfolds..

October 6, 2009 · 1 min read

Hey there! If you are wondering what I was upto in the last couple of days, well, here it is. A few years back I had written Minesweeper as a project in college. I had used java and swing for the UI. I thought I will port it over to win mob, well, 'port' is the wrong word and I have had to write everything from scratch. Java-Swing and C++-WinMob-DirectDraw are like zenith and nadir apart. Skipping to the interesting part, here is a video of where things stand now, still a lot of work to be done.

Has anyone from India setup a developer account on the Windows Marketplace for Mobile? If yes, please leave me a message. I need to get in touch.

Ciao!

PS: Long press flags. Created the buttons and pressed buttons. Flicked the smiley's from bing. Flicked the numbers from Donut (:
