ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Problem Solving Selected
Example
There were two desktop games written in Java that i needed to port (make compatible and optimized
for mobile) to iOS: Ned et les maki (Koala Ned) and Newton Adventure.
They were written using a game-development Java library called Playn. The games were old and the
standard way to port them was not available anymore, so i had to get creative.
I used Cordova to create an empty (platform independent) app, then used the server plug-in (for
cordova) to start a local web-server when the app is launched.
In those empty Cordova apps, i put the HTML5 versions of the java and those java games basically
became web-apps that run on an (offline) web-server inside the app. In order for this to work , the java
games had to be compiled and converted to their HTML5 version, i used the Playin library capabilities
in order to achieve this.
Thus the (offline) web-server runs the game when the app is launched by the user.
This procedure means the app is multi-platform, so it will work on both android and iOS .
There is no noticeable difference to the user compared to the native game, i tested this with the
android ready-made native versions vs. the web-app version.
