Default Re: [OT] 4X Java games for my mobile phone

Perhaps you could find a Java version of Rogue/Nethack/Angband or something like the old Zork. Ah, nostalgia... but I know of no places off the top of my head. Google is your friend, though.

As for programming *.jar files, technically, JARs are not programmed. You would create your game like you would for a normal Java application, *.java source files compiled with javac or your compiler of choice into *.class files. The JAR (or Java ARchive) files come in after this. There's a utility distributed with the developers kit from Sun that will take the *.class files from a project, and archive (and compress?) them together into a single file. The JavaVM then takes this file, extracts the *.class files, and runs the app.
