On 1st May 2008 I made my fourth Campus Ambassador demo titled "Visual Mobile Game with Netbeans 6.0" at University of Melbourne. The whole demo lasted about 55 minutes. 17 students and staff sent me their RSVP and 46 people eventually attended seminar. The turn up rate is a bit higher than my previous tech demo, which is fantastic!
As my view of Campus Ambassador role is to grow Sun technologies communities among students and staffs in universities, I always encouraged attendees to participate, not just listen to my lecture. Previously Peng Deng, a talented student who is using Sun SPOT on his final master project, co-presented Sun Spot with me in Feb. In today's talk I have Zheng Huang, a Master Student in Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, joined me. Zheng has a lot of experience and passion on developing Java mobile games.
I firstly introduced Java Micro Edition in the context of Java Family and pointed out that, although Java ME is small in terms of its software size, it is actually the most ubiquitous application platform among Java family. For example, the devices includes PDA, Smart Electronic appliances, point of sale (POS) terminal, TV-set box and, of course, cell phone.
I explained Java ME's two main components, CLDC & MIDP in detail and introduce Sun Wireless toolkits which is a great development platform for J2ME applications.
Zheng Huang talked about his development experience and presented a comprehensive comparison of developing mobile on J2ME platform and .Net compact framework.
His handdrawn slides are very amusing and brought audience a lot of mirth.
He also presented his works, a Java Mobile game which brought him a high scores in Mobile computing course. It is a very interesting game and could be launched in either single player mode or multiple player mode via Blue tooth connection. When he brought two emulators and demonstrated multiple player mode, everyone is amazed by the great features of Sun Wireless toolkits.
Then, I started Netbeans and demonstrated how to design Mobile game scene, tiled layers and movement of sprites in Netbeans. All of these tedious tasks are very straightforward because of the rich features of Mobile Visual Game builders. Thanks for Peng Deng's help! He recorded a short video during my demo.

I can also recommend a cool app for mobiles. It's called I-Citizen and it came out recently. It's the world's first 3D world for mobile handsets. Its fun to play and you can meet people and chat to them as you might have guessed. They have promotions where they give away PS3's and Xboxes to people in a place called I-Bid in the app. Its beta release was announced in March 2008 and anyone can give it a try. You can get it from your mobiles browser or your pc by going to http://wap.Icitizencommunity.Com also check out www.micazook.com for it too.
