The examples were written for S60 1st edition, where the drawing area was always 176x144. The programs uses fixed coordinates and can work badly with the new editions that supports different screen sizes. Maybe now the SDK defaults to a bigger size - if the output of the first example is bigger then 176x144 then this would explain why it doesn't use the full screen.

These links may stop working in near future. Links that should work are:

Step 1
Step 3
Step 5

Sorry for the long post above... After reading a bit more on how the framework classes interact, and a bit of debugging and code searching, I discovered that my problem was that I did not change the CreateAppUiL in the document class to call the new constructor which passed the document object pointer.

I am back on track, and now understand better how the framework interacts. Now I just need to find out why the game is taking up only about a quarter (1/4) of the available screen. I am sure it has something to do with the Rect size chosen compared to the actual available screen demensions...

Anyway, this was indeed a very educational example.

Great tutorial... However, I am having problems when I try to convert it to s60 3rd edition and using Carbide.c++ to generate the HelloWorld skeleton and then following the steps in the tutorial....

Mainly it is in accessing the TFIXEDARRAYs, I think. I started getting "Suspended: Signal 'Halt' received" every time it goes into one of the functions that alters the arrays, both iMask and iContent. It may go further than that, since commenting out code gives strange results that don't seem to make sense.

The skeleton is somewhat different from the one in Step 1 here, but I think I understand enough of it all to get it correct. However, I can't get past the Halts. What seems strange, is that I get through the iGrid.Clear() function OK the first few times, but if I enter it from the "Reset Game" menu item, I get the Halt. Also, the cursor keys give me the Halt too.

Of course, this all started as I was testing Step 3, and continues through the rest of the tutorial. I am rather new to programming for s60 platform and this tutorial is helping me understand the UI, but obviously I am missing something very important here.

Anybody have any ideas? (BTW, I am using the s60 3rd MR SDK)

Thanks in advance.

What you have written is not C but Symbian OS C++ conventions. I've also written a tutorial about that. You can find it here.

Would you happen to have an app that can automatically reply with a LOGO?
