N8 ovi game help

Hi , can you help please. I have been trying to download games from the ovi store to my N8. Some have been ok and on phone. The ones i need help with are the ones where it says something like a big file will most likely be downloaded one time only with this game. The games install on phone but when it comes to downloading i get red ERROR message and thats it. So it seems this big download isn't on phone. Hope this makes sense thank you

Hello @motherduck,
It sounds like you have a problem with your QT-files, so you could try

  • Ovi games

    How can i get ovi games with no network access..because all games in ovi need network access..how can i know that...this or that game need network access or not...please help...!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Most of the games in Ovi store are not free. They provide those games just like demo games so while playing, the games need to connect to the internet to display some advertisement.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to create a memory card game although I can't figure out where I am going wrong!! Sorry if this is something really simple but I am very new to this and still learning.
    The cards are coming up as a 'matching' pair even when they are different. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :-)

  • Ovi game apps say install failed

    i have been trying to download some of the free game apps for my nuron 5230 but once it starts installing it finishes and say installing failed. Several of the apps are doing this and when itried to go to ovi support it keeps saying error and wont connect

    Im having the same problem with my C7.
    Just switched from an iPhone and there are loads of apps i want to download onto my  C7 and keep getting problems after problems. So frustrating!!!!
    Every time i try and access the ovi store from my phone i get a "unable to retrieve my stuff list." I have tried rebooting the device and sign out and sign back in which SOMETIMES works. However when i exit the store and go back in, same problem!!!!
    ALSO
    Have spent the last 4 hours trying to install 2 simple applications "Grid Touch" and "Converter Touch" downloads fine but get an installation error on the 8th attempt now on trying to get this to work. Tried everything, wifi/ default save location, restarting. Starting to regret jumping ship
    SOMEONE HELP PLS!!!!

  • Snake javascript game - help!

    Hi guys,
    I have to create the good old game of snake which can be found on mobile phones.
    I have 9 main tasks to complete, and am inexperienced with Java so would love any feedback!
    Have to first write table cells to fill out the general area for the game, I think this will be fairly easy, using the document.write method inside a for loop. I then have to add keyboard controls to move the pixel around the area.
    The next stage is to move the pixel automatically in one direction, I think the window.setTimeout method can be used here, not too sure how to implement it though. When it reaches the boundary, the pixel must be stopped. These 2 stages then have to be combined so that the pixel moves automatically until it either changes direction through a click of an arrow key of it hits the boundary. Next is to add a popup notifying that the snake has hit the boundary and stop the timeout. Then the snake has to grow each time it comes in contact with a single fixed pixel which moves everytime it comes in contact.
    Those are the main stages I have to complete, any help would be greatly appreciated, code, links to examples, anything like that,
    Thanks everyone!

    yeah.. java is much different than javascript. but I was seriously bored, so I took 45mins and coded a snake script that kinda.. plays by itself. I didnt code it according to your instructions cuz.. I dont code people's homework :\. anyway it should give you a big boost:

    deauthorise your pc and reauthorise it will be fine after

  • Number Guessing Game Help

    this is my current code it works ok, but i need a bit of help with when they get it right, and I have to start converting it to graphical in Borland Jbuilder.

    public class Numb{
         public static void main (String [] args){
              //Game State     
              int magicNumb = Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 100) + 1;
              //Output instructions
              System.out.println("I Feel Numb!");
              System.out.print("Do you feel Loved? Y/N");

              }catch(IOException ioe){}
              boolean acrobat = true;
              //If they pressed y let them play
              if(line.equalsIgnoreCase("y")){
                   //Game stuff goes here
                   System.out.println("Don't Expect Suggest a NUMBer between 1 and 100");
                   System.out.print("Enter a guess:");               
                   //LOOP
                   while (acrobat=true){
                   //Read user input
                   {try{
                        line=keyboard.readLine();
                   }catch(IOException ioe){}
                   //Convert the inpt to an int value
                   int guess = (int)Integer.parseInt(line);
                   //If Right
                   if (guess==magicNumb)
                        System.out.println("Green Light Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigaretes");
                        acrobat=false;               
                   //If too High
                   if (guess>magicNumb)
                        System.out.println("Too Much is Not Enough");
                   //If too Low
                   if (guess<magicNumb)     
                        System.out.println("Gimme Some more, Gimme some more");}
    }

    Ok what i need help with is when they get the
    integer, i need to either state another message and
    quit, or give them the option to play again?Okay, so, your overall code structure will look something like this: do {
        play();
        again = askIfPlayAgain();
    } while again;
    void play() {
        do {
            ask for a guess
            give answer
        } while (incorrect);
    } You don't have to use do/while. Plain old while will work.
    The main points are:
    1) You need two loops. The inner one keeps going within one round until they guess correctly, and the outer one keeps starting new rounds until they quit.
    2) You should break the problem down into smaller, more elemental pieces, rather than stuffing everything into one big blob in main.
    #1 will help you solve this problem, but #2 is an absolutely essential skill to learn.

  • Ovi games install via Ovi Suite

    Hello,
    How can I download free games from Ovi store, save the file to my PC and transfer/install it to my  X2-01mobile via Ovi suite? I don't want to download and install directly from my mobile. Thanks.

    Hello,
    THanks for the reply, I wanted to post a new query but can't seem to find the 'Start new message" link:
    My Nokia phone X2-01 seems to have a preset security code, although I have never set any codes nor pin codes since I purchased it. I just wanted to delete some message counters logs, but it asks me for security code when I select clear counters menu.
    Is there any factory set - security code for Nokia phones? Thank you once again for your advice.
    Regards..

    A couple of recommendations, tempered by the fact that I'm not a graphics wiz:
    1) Many of your fields in the CreateImage class that are declared public static should in fact be private and not be declared static. These include oval1_x and oval1_y, and ball1 and ball2. The squareSize, line_x and line_y should probably be declared as constants (static final).
    2) Consider drawing your grid with your BufferedImage's graphics object and thus creating it outside of the paintComponent method and only having to create it once.
    3) In your mouseMoved method, I see where you change the ball's x position, but where do you change its y position?
    4) Your {if (ball2)" block is nested within the "if (ball1)" block.  Are you really sure that you want to do this?  My guess is no.
    5) Your play one / two actionlisteners should be instance methods, not static methods.
    Now for some bigger problems:
    6) As written, your CreateImage class will only draw one ball, that's it.  You likely need a "Ball" class that encapsulates the Ball graphics, and have the CreateImage class hold an ArrayList of these animals.
    7) I see no code that expresses the game logic, that encapsulates a non-GUI grid, that makes sure that balls are placed in a logical location within the non-GUI grid, that checks for win / loss, and that eventually ties the non-GUI grid and balls with their GUI equivalents.  It's all GUI without logic.  If I were doing this, I'd do the logic part first, then drape the GUI over the logic code.
    Good luck                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • OVI Games all need internet to work?

    Im sorry, Im having a feeling there is a catch somewhere and this should be obvious, but I couldn't find the solution for this one;
    Im downloading games to my E61i smartphone... but all these games need to load adds and therefor it needs internet everythime I want to play. How frustrating!
    So does this website offer stand alone games, where you just click and play.
    Please im really looking for a good website. Ovi store looks nice, but im not willing to pay for a simple game like snake or anything. do i have to 'pay to play', or whats the deal?

    Though not in all cases, there is a mention that the application will require Network Connection if you read the details...

  • Game help needed.

    Dear Sir's,
         I have the game DMO for my pc, from the Joymax.com website. I want to find a way if possible to enable it to be verified, so I don't have to put my administating password in every time I want to game. I have other games like Supreme
    Commander, Zero Online, AOE 3, etc. They all start right away. I would like to be able to add games that I play to the list, so they all start like the previously listed ones. Thanks for your help, and hope to here from you soon.
    Sincerely,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

  • 3D Game   help needed

    Latelly I have been working on many 3d games such as a rubiks cube and 3d chess game using a 3d class i made that uses a 2d graphing plane but i wanted to start making some more complex games. I have 3d rotation and other basic tasks working but i was wondering if someone could explain how to make basic movement where objects get bigger as they get closer to a focal point and tasks similar to that. If anyone has any idea of how to do this or info on 3d it would be very helpful to me. I have a setup that somewhat works for this but i can tell it doesnt work that well.

    It's bit older (the author uses JDK 1.4.2 I think), but it covers a lot of concepts including how to create 3D sofware renderer in Java.i would definitely vouch for [Developing Games in Java|http://www.amazon.com/Developing-Games-Java-New-Riders/dp/1592730051/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211721081&sr=1-1].
    i read it years ago when it came out and despite its size (1,000 pages) its an easy cover to cover read.
    i already had the math background but for people who dont i can say i liked how he teaches the concepts.
    plus its very robust. he covers threads, 2d, networking/multiplayer, audio, 3d, ai.
