Wormux for i-mode
Since December 2005, a portage of Wormux for i-mode cellular phones has been started. The features are very lightened because of embedded restrictions. The application is implemented in J2ME-DoJa (DOcomo JAva) with the i-mode Development Kit from DoCoMo.

How to play
Presently, the project is not stable yet, but you can already test the game. The service is free of charge (not included download charges payable to your operator) and presently does not require network usage.
There are 2 ways to test the game. Either with an emulator, in this case, go to next section, or from a I-mode compliant cellular phone with an access to I-mode network.
From the navigator of your phone, connect you to http://wormux.org/iwormux/ . You'll find a link which propose you to download the game. This game will not work with other navigators. Normally, the application will automatically install itself on your phone. Next, you just have to go to your i-appli list (generally via a long press on the i-mode key) and find there a program intitled "iWormux". Don't hesitate to frequently update the application to see changes. We'll try to put the more possible stable versions in order you not need to download the application for nothing. Keep in mind that each download cost you money, except if you have an i-mode fixed price contract.
Go to read integrated help in the game or at "Keys" item, in the main menu, to have a list of key for playing.
How to develop
Windows install
- You have to intall Java [1]. The last J2SDK will be adequate (or only JRE if you just want to use emulator).
- Next, you have to install I-mode Development Kit (version 1.5) [2].
- If you just want to use emulator, launch iapplitool, create a new project named "iWormux", download compiled program [3] and [4] and copy them in the directory C:\iDK\apps\iWormux\bin (adapt it to the directory where you installed iDK ; this path cannot contain space characters), choose emulator type ("Device" menu), and then run emolator from iDK.
- If you want to see source code, to contribute or else, you will have to install TortoiseSVN or make a svn export frm a unix console and send it to Windows. For an anonymous access to Subversion server, go to read TortoiseSVN documentation. For a wirting-permission access with SVN+SSH, please read this howto [5] (see also article about subversion).
Subversion repository address : svn.gna.org/svn/wormux/iwormux/trunk
- Once source code is downloaded, launch iapplitool, create a new project named "iWormux", copy and replace the directories named res\ and src\ from C:\iDK\apps\iWormux\ by those from the repository you've just get. Choose an emulator ("Device" menu). Build the project and then, if you don't have error, run emulation. If the compilation fails with an error message like "javac: target release 1.1 conflicts with default source release 1.5 Fail to run javac", choose "Use sun.tools.javac.Main" option in "Options" menu.
- To edit source code, I recommend you an IDE as EClipse [6].
Linux install
iDK is a proprietary program. Its usability is quite dark and NTT DoCoMo only propose iDK for Windows. Nevertheless, it is a Java application, so by definition, its compiled code is portable. Some people managed to run iapplitool under linux with eclipse. I did not personnally tried, but here is a description of the procedure to follow [7] or [8]
