Because a large number of mobile phones in circulation today have very limited resources (small screen, limited memory and graphics support, cumbersome key input), the most suitable as well as commercially feasible games for these devices are 2D games. Note: This article concentrates on 2D games. This article discusses the development of browsing games and henceforth, the term “mobile games” will refer to “browser games” in this article.

This popularity has mobile gaming playing a pivotal role in revenue generation for the cellular carriers, game publishers, and handset makers, while generating numerous opportunities for game developers and associated professionals.
In recent times, mobile games have gained popularity for providing personal entertainment on the go. GUI development experience with AWT and SWING will be helpful though not mandatory. You can make a separate source folder for your config files, and put it on the class path.Editor’s Note: To understand this article, some Java programming experience is necessary. Ranch Handposted 4 years agoHi, I am currently running a jar file and want it to pick up a config file in the same location where the jar lives (jar to use external config file). Properties’ inputStream = getClass() getClassLoader() getResourceAsStream(propertiesFileName) if (inputStream != null) propertyValue = props.
