Game on "original" NOKIA 3310 screen

Hello,


We've managed to display our game on original Nokia 3310 screen (ok, it's actually Nokia 5110, but the only difference is the backlight color) with Arduino.

Cheers!

Check out whole game here:

Fantastic stuff!

A few days ago, I discovered that there's apparently a homebrewed SDK, technical documentation, and some demo software available for the 3310: http://nokix.sourceforge.net/help/blacksphere/sub_050main.ht

Maybe next year it would be an interesting challenge to get a game not only running on the proper LCD module, but on the stock phone itself. There's a MAME profile for the 3310, but I have no idea offhand how mature it is or how difficult it would be to turn that into a web build.

Awesome! Would love to see someone pull off a game on the stock phone eventually.

Fun!

Not 3310, but close enough - Nokia 3410 had J2ME support and even a 3D engine (check out Munkiki's Castles for an example), so implementing games that run there is pretty easy ;)

That is so awesome! Wow! 
What is the technology stack? (I've never wrote anything for Arduino or similar )

Actually i am sending data from computer to serial port on Arduino Nano whith each frame: its incredibly slow process so game has like 2 fps :) i am currently planning to create straight forward connection via USB cable which should result in smooth FPS
