Javascript games on Nokia WRT – Tic Tac Toe

Picture 23

I started a new initiative to adapt simple Javascript games to Nokia WRT enabled phones. I focus on WRT 1.1 touch devices (currently Nokia N97 and 5800).

The first game I implemented is a classic Tic Tac Toe game where you can play against the phone. My friend Alex Rutgaizer designed the board.

After I have gathered some  more insight, I promise to post my findings, best practices and suggestions in a separated post.

You can download the game and install it to any Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 phone. Just copy the link to the file in your phone then download and install the wgt file.

The code is absolutely free to modify, play, rewrite etc.

If you have ideas for more games leave me a message.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Any thoughts about WRT, now that you’ve written this app?

    Any idea where other WRT apps can be found?

    Hi Lee,

    I never tried writing apps in Symbian – I mostly write web apps. For me, WRT is the first time I can actually use my knowledge to write mobile apps.

    As to WRT itself, it is quite easy if you have some prior web development experience (especially Javascript and Jquery). However, unlike web apps where you have multiple pages, the entire WRT app is a single “page” where you manipulate divs to your need.

    As to places to find WRT apps – I guess you can find them on OVI. Other appStores such as GetJar do not recognize WRT yet (I actually wrote to them about it but didn’t get an answer yet).
