viiABSTRACTMobile phone has become one of the popular mobile communication devicesamong users at the present time. Various of services and entertainments such asstand-alone and multiplayer games are provided for the mobile phone users.However, at the present time, most of the mobile phones implement infraredtechnology as the main medium for network connection. Implementation of infraredtechnology has its own drawbacks such as line of sight problem and limitation onnumbers of player in a game. In addition, there are not many multiplayer gamesusing Bluetooth technology are available in the market yet for the time being.Therefore, this project is carried out in order to build a multiplayer game in thewireless environment which could overcomes the line of sight problem that faced bythe traditional multiplayer games while supporting more than two players in the samegame. To achieve this objective, the new game will be built by using Java 2Platform Micro Edition (J2ME) technology in the mobile phone environment whichequipped by Bluetooth technology. The success of this project will increase thenumber of multiplayer games which could support four players at the same timewhile all the players do not have to point their mobile phone towards other mobilephone in parallel to play the game. They are allowed to continue their games ineverywhere as long as they are in range of 10 meters. Hopefully the success of thisproject would bring a revolution to the development of multiplayer games in mobilephone devices where the Bluetooth technology will replace the infrared technologyas the main medium for network connection between mobile phone devices.
