XtremeMaC Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 i don't think anyone could possibly explain u the steps of it in a forumbut if u want a start, u need to design a chip layout first deciding what its going to do. then create the chip, mount it on a board. well after that u may design the casing for it.I think this simple question of yours is kind of hard to manage, I mean the big hardware companies do it with 100ths of ppl. if u want to do it by yourself i think first of all u need to do more reading and become aware that u cannot do everything that pops in your head.frame = easy grab a plastic give it a shape, or wood, sand it or somethingon/off switch go grab 3 cables and a switch, solved.screen heh i don't think u can do it by hand hahahahahgo find yourself a java programer and start learning the languagego buy a cell phone that has java games, and start building one yourself and see u in 10 years....

magicfly Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 i believe you'd like to do that and i believe in your possibilities, but as extrememac said...it's too much hard for just one people...i think it's easier building a game for pc instead for an handheld.

mrhappatai21 Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Today I disassembeled a small electronic handheld game and found out how it works and I have collected all the parts I need to build one.I just need to program my game into it. How do I do this? Does it have to be Java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Most likely you'll have to write it in ASM for the specific chip you have... I can't think of any chips that support Java, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 no don't get my word wrong. i didn't say design the chip in java, its just that most mobile phones use java gaming.. I'm sure they've reasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msvcppp Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hey, I would like to know how to build my own handheld game too. I know how to program. I’m just wondering how one goes about designing a chip. I’ll probably just look that up on Google. I was thinking EPRAM or PRAM.I’m actually sort of a game programmer. I’ve built a few little games that weren’t that much to talk about, but at least they played. I used DirectX to do all hard work for me though. I didn’t know that cell phone games were written in Java. I wonder how the got Java VM inside the cell phone. I wouldn’t use java to build a game because I think it’s slow. I rather make it out of C or C++.What is the type of screen that is used for those little handheld games? I was thinking LCD but I’m having lots of problems finding what I need to know about them on Google. I was hoping that there is a special name for them.
