I'm at home today, sick. So, you are in Roneisha's care four our class meeting. You already have one assignment, to create two ringtones for the Razr. One of the tones is your voice and the other is a music clip. Once you get your ringtones made into an MP3, have Roneisha initial the checklist. Then, once you are done with the ringtones, I want you to go onto the Internet and find 3 free games for a Java mobile phone. Make them play in the MotoDev simulator, and get Roneisha to initial the checklist for each game. You are looking for a game file with a .jad extension to download. When you download the .jad file, be sure to remember where in the file system you stored it. You will have to know where it is stored in order to run it in MotoDev. Once you are finished with the games, install JadMaker on your PC. (See instructions below.) Read the instructions on making a JAD file (remember, a JAD file is a Java program that runs on a cell phone) in JadMaker. Convert your Eliza program into a JAR file in BlueJ. Then, use JadMaker to make a JAD file and run it in MotoDev.
Installing and Running JadMakerGo to the R drive and copy (do not move!) the
JadMaker folder to your PC. Go into the JadMaker folder and double click the
JadMaker.exe file to run the program. To make a JAD file from you JAR file, open a My Computer screen and navigate to the location of your Eliza JAR file. Drag and drop your JAR file into the JadMaker screen. It will make the JAD for you and will store it in the same folder as your JAR file.
Making a JAR in BlueJOpen your Eliza project in BlueJ. Compile it. Then, click
Project -->
Create Jar File. A display screen opens. Put checkmarks in all of the boxes in the
Include User Libraries portion the screen, then c;ick the
Continue button. A screen appears to name your file and to store it in a folder. Pick a name and remember where you saved it. BlueJ will automatically put a .jar file extension on your file name.
Running a JAD in MotoDevHere's a reminder on how to run a game in MotoDev: At the top of the Launchpad screen, there is a field called Select JAD file. Click the browse button and go to the folder where you stored your game file with the .jad extension
. Select
the .jad file and run it by clicking the right arrow icon. You should see a simulation of a Razr cell phone. Figure out which buttons to click on the Razr picture to run the program.
Download and print a copy of the checklist
here. You will receive 10 points for installing JadMaker, 10 points for converting your Eliza to a JAD file, 10 points for running Eliza in MotoDev, 10 points for each game and 10 points for each ringtone for a total of 80 points.
