Update 9-18-2009 - The phone's back button can now be used to undo. Thanks for the suggestion bulldogn7. This is just a small update. I have other plans but this was easy to do and I should have done it sooner.

Thanks Agoattamer. I look forward to some hopefully fresh ideas and feedback from you guys. The copy and paste from the Eternity forum was quite strenuous on my finger, mouse, and computer but I did it...finally. lol. Now to eat this salad I have been staring at for the last five minutes.

whoa!! bantam is here, that page looks familiar.... I know where its from! Your website! no I'm kidding bantam, Welcome to the site where even I'm impressed

Balloon Poppin' as of right now is a dead project. It was an experiment. Visually it turned out real nice but I never had a goal with it. I thought it would come to me as I was making it but it never did. I originally had a pop sound in it also. Every time it popped the game would freeze for a split second. It was enough to make it irritating. It does that in the eFly game too but not as much. I may have found a fix.

My bubbles pop easy. Maybe your phone has a virus. JK. They don't pop instantly. You have to press into it a little. Real bubble wrap doesn't pop just by touching it. I keep wanting to make a Bubble Wrap 2. Bubble Wrap is my most popular download. It's currently at 2371 downloads and that doesn't include those that downloaded and installed with the jar file.

Thanks for the thoughts. I like to know that there is still interest in what I'm doing.

Cool...it's posts like this that keep me interested in making more games/apps. Thanks and your welcome.

MIDlet - the MID means Mobile Interface Information Device and the 'let' comes from applet. It is a combination of the two - MIDlet. I didn't make it up. That is the actual technical term for java games/apps that run on a mobile device.

Factory - well a factory is where things are made

MIDlet Factory is where I make games/apps...wait I make them on my computer then put them on my website? Okay, I was originally going to release games/apps in their various stages to get feedback but I decided against it. It would kind of been like a factory. I thought about changing the name but what the hay.

Have you tried eFly-Smashed? http://www.samsung-impression.org/games/efly-smashed-java-game-by-bantam-bytes-mobile/

Wow, great stuff I can't wait to play with bubble wrap!

hey bantam ive been asking everywhere but nobody seem to find an app like this, so heres a suggestion. could you please make a touchscreen synth pad and/or drum pad? you would make this phone such an amazing phone
