There is no chat option yet. I have left a huge lump of screen free to add a chat window into the lobby (which I'll fill in once I confirm that the game works!).
I hadnt thought of adding chat during play, but I guess when you're watching your opponents turn being able to send some 'encouragement' might be fun.

The online version is now available on my website (www.smartmobilegames.com). I'll hopefully keep it running over the entire weekend.
Cheers,
Tom

Well, I just had the first test of the online version and it is working! We managed to get a game running between the UIQ and PocketPC versions internationally!
I identified a few problems and when I have fixed them I'll start the server up again. The next test should be at the weekend.
Cheers,
Tom

The online beta version is now back up and running. You'll need to grab a new version from the Soldier Ants Beta page on my website before you can join in.
Cheers,
Tom

Great, and you´ve been busy with a new game. I´m checking it out right now.
Is it also possible to play online using the internetconnection of my pc when my ppc is connected with activesync? And can I also use WIFI?

You can definitely connect using wifi. I used that to test the code early on. My old flat was right by an open wireless lan. That made a nice change, its unusual for games development to be an outdoor activity!
I cannot get my PocketPC to connect through the cradle with Active Sync on, but I expect there will be a way to do that.

Oh, a final thought. It might be worth posting on here when you're going to attempt to play. That way I can try to make sure Im paying attention when you login.

Have installed the beta version on my P910i, and attempted to log in last night. It looks like it does work using PC's internet when you've got a bluetooth serial connection set up (I got on to the Lobby screen anyway, but there was nobody there to play against). So that's really good news, as I don't have to waste money on GPRS connection.
One little thing I noticed though; On the lobby screen, the "Lobby" title was only half visible at the top of the screen. Perhaps it was designed for the different screen dimensions on the PDA version?

I was popping in and out last night. I saw someone had been logging in, but alas I missed it. If you let me know when you're likely to be on then I'll make sure Im around for it (or let you know if I can't).
I'm working on a new version now which will not require an account setup. That way anyone can have a go until the end of the beta.

Yeah, the main version I work on runs on my PC at 320x240 so i lose a bit of screen when i build the UIQ version. I'll tidy all that sort of stuff up before I finish.

You need some image editting software that can load and save .tga files (photoshop is good).
If you have that then drop me an email to
support@smartmobilegames.com and I'll send you the map editor.
Cheers,
Tom
