GASP: an open source gaming service middleware dedicated to multiplayer games for J2ME based mobile phones
Résumé
GASP is an open source platform that conforms the
Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) v 1.0 specifications. It
is able to handle basic services for building and
handling interactions between players such as session
management, communications... GASP is
implemented in Java. It offers a server and a client
part. It is defined for MIDP and DOJA J2ME profiles.
GASP is demonstrated through Kouiz, a multiplayer
game for mobiles presented in the second part of this
paper. During solo phases of the game, the player
tries to breed animals called kouizs. The aim is to
improve their skills. With improved skills, kouizs
have better chances to win against challengers in the
multiplayer arena. In this mode kouizs can fight. This
paper ends by discussing our current results and what
we plan to do next with the gaming service platform
GASP.
