OK, I've stripped down a game we are working on over at 4winmobile to create something that will run on smartphone.

I've tested the exe on a UK O2 Xda IQ (WM5 smartphone) and it works a treat. I just copied the exe to the "Program Files" folder on the IQ and then used "File Manager" to find and run the exe.

What you should get is a controllable (and upgradeable) verticle scrolling spaceship which is lifted from our forthcoming game FormFighter which can hopefully be moved around the screen and on the IQ the left softkey = fire.

To exit the demo just hit the "0" on the phone keypad.


exe available in zip format here

Ok i hate to be a bother, but i tried to run your game on my phone and it says that the game requieres 240x320 resolution.
So could you please export it in 176x220 (mpx220 resolution).
Thank you in advance.

irblinx, thank you for your effort!:mrgreen:

The game works on my phone (and looks real nice :D ), I can now only assume that there is something wrong with my GE version (im using 1.3.3) or that i missed some setting.
Is it possible that it makes a difference if i chose full screen or window mode or the number of sound chanels or something else. Can any of these things result in my phone not running the game?

I'll download the latest demo version and try with it and report back.

I tried it with the same settings and it still won't work and i just saw that the demo version can only export for windows so i can't check if it's a problem with my version.
I'll wait and see what makslane will say.

There is some changes from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4 about smartphones.
May be the problem.
