- Battle Tank v1.4
- ================
- This application demonstrates the usage of Java ME gaming features: sprites, tiles
- etc. Additionally, a reusable game structure is introduced where resources are
- loaded according to the screen size of device. In the game the player's objective
- is to defend the base and destroy all enemy tanks.
- This example application demonstrates:
- - using Java ME gaming features such as sprites and tiles
- - resusable game structure
- - using different resources for different screen sizes
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PREREQUISITES
- Java ME basics
- Java ME threads and timers
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- IMPORTANT FILES AND CLASSES
- src\..\BattleTankCanvas.java
- src\..\Game.java
- src\..\Resources.java
- src\..\Level.java
- Classes: GameCanvas, Vector, Graphics, Image, Sprite, TiledLayer.

- DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
- There is a game loop running in a thread which force-sleeps at least 1 ms
- between loops to ensure that UI thread events are caught. The thread is paused when a
- screensaver starts, there is a incoming call, or so on, to prevent excess power
- consumption.
- Image resources are pre-scaled for three different resolutions: high
- (360x640), medium (240x320), and low (128x160).
- The state of the game is stored when the user closes the application. The user
- can resume to the saved state when returning to play again.

- Mixing sounds does not work in Symbian phones.
