The game uses Nokia Maps to let the player travel around the world, trying to guess where historical locations, country capital cities and other famous places are located. The features of this first release include:

• More than 100 questions, constantly updated
• Global rankings, to compete with users worldwide
• Ability to share a new score on Facebook

Check out the video below to see the game in action.

The game is available for free on Nokia Store.

With different backgrounds, we all aim at providing useful information about the mobile environment, in all its aspects. From its manifesto:

The aim of this community is to share as much as possible information related to the mobile development using all the social networks and the new capabilities of the NET to make easier find updated contents and to create a deep feeling of connection between developers.

The journey is at the beginning, hope you’ll join in!

My idea is to post less news and announcements but more resources, events, tutorials, articles, examples and experiments about mobile design and development. In a few words more valuable content.

Check it out, and update your bookmarks!

This simple game was originally included, as easter egg, in the midlet built for 2007 Edition of Rome JavaDay, to help folks being awake during long talks For a live test you can go directly to the emulator page.

Now, It’s source code is fully available to everyone to (ab)use, and please be kind with me for the total lack of comments…

Here is the source code, and the full sample midlet if you want to try it out on your phone.

Since Web Runtime allows building mobile applications with classic web technologies, we’ve used nothing more that html, css and plain-old-good javascript… isn’t it great?

It’s a very first alpha release with not too much functionalities (local hi-scores and a single game mode), but feel free to take a try

The main interface was done using classical <a> elements to represent the menu options, but this has 2 important drawbacks, as you can see:

• links (like also input fields and other focusable elements) when focused are surrounded by a thick border: not really beautiful..
• managing of focus itself, between different screens, is not easy, so it happens that focus sometimes disappears, or starts from the last menu options, or other odd things.

Next release will try to solve those and other issues… meanwhile, we’ll be happy of any kind of feedback about it
