Lately web based games are getting more complex. Several years ago when i played torn city, it was completely text-based. Meaning it was easy to play the game on a mobile device's browser.
Now we have all sorts of implementations, true text based web game is a thing of the past.
I don't know how the web evolved, but i see all kinds of different thing happening in a web browser that is anything BUT simple text.
The best example would be nodiatis itself.
While it is obvious that it is easy to play the game on a desktop browser, this statement isn't true for a mobile device.
There are games that are completly in a flash window. Those won't work too in a mobile device.
I even stumbled on a series of games that play in a browser, yet they are completly 3d, as if you played a standalone 3d game (How in god's name fif they do that ????)
I myself currently own a Nokia E90 which supposedly has one of the best browsers in a mobile device. Supposedly it supports flash, but it sure as hell didn't work when i tried to play that flash game.
The latest incarnation of web games advancements is Nodiatis. Which loads like a normal game. Nodiatis may be a web based game, but i can't run it on my E90 not in a 100 years.
Using E90 browser, and loading nodiatis, page loaded but kindly asked me to install java. It directed me to a java page, but there i could only find something for desktop platforms.
Launching the game in mini opera gets me a black screen which only says initializing game interface. Obviously nothing is initialized, as mini opera works this way:
You enter a web address, mini opera reformats that web site on its forums and sends the phone a reformatted version of the web site. Obviously this doesn't work.
As a matter of fact, there is no way i can launch nodiatis on nokia E90.
I have no experience what so ever with windows mobile devices. In my mind, u at least have to have a touch screen device, than a proper browser. E90 doesn't have either one. It isn't touch, and browser doesn't support these advanced java features.
The majority of windows mobile are touch based.
Is there a browser there that can play nodiatis ?
Then there's the Nokia internet tablet. (Latest one is n810) Has anyone with a internet tablet tried to play nodiatis ?
There is another category of mobile devices like oQo, (
oqo) which run full windows (2gb ram, intel atom cpu 120gb hdd touch, keyboard). These obviously have dektop web browsers, and even world of warcraft works on them. Nodiatis obviously works.
My question is: Is there a mobile device that can play nodiatis ? Phone or pda or something ?
What does the browser need to run nodiatis?
Can Nokia internet tablet N800 or N810 run nodiatis (only answerable if someone has internet tablet and tried to run nodiatis ?)
Do i need to buy oqo to play nodiatis on my toilet ? Or is there something else outthere ?
