Should I still be building games specifically for Java (J2ME) MIDP 1?

Asked by melwong in Java 2 Micro-Edition (J2ME), Miscellaneous Games

The objective/purpose of the question is should i be still developing games on MIDP 1? Cos i need to have some sort of secure connection in the game and MIDP 1 does not have it. Thus I need to implement a separate secure library.

Now,

Prob with MIDP 1
-No SSL
-Need to use separate SSL implementation. If used it will increase the jar size
-Most MIDP 1 phones (assuming Nokia) has max of 63kB. This means i need to compromise game quality (sound, graphics, etc) to fit the new SSL implementation lib

Prob with MIDP 2
-Newer than MIDP 1
-People MAY still be using MIDP 1 phones

So, ultimately, should I still be developing MIDP 1 games? Are people really still using MIDP 1 phones?Start Free Trial
