Abstract

A major issue arising nowadays is the lack of entertainment due to up-going level of stress. In this era of technology, where mobile has become more of a necessity than a luxury, a new form of distraction has taken birth, that of mobile games. Mobile games are one of the primary entertainment applications at present. These games provide a means of relaxation and help to draw users´ attention away from routine tensions. However, mobile game development is more difficult than desktop application development because of scarce resources. Performance is one of the critical requirements for mobile games. With the advancement in technology, mobile multiplayer games have started to evolve. This paper discusses about 3D mobile games development for both single player and multiplayer and also evaluates two different APIs namely MIDP 2.0 GAME API and M3G API.
