Hi! :blink:

I want to do a game of my own using obelix' "Sudoku" as starting point.

Can someone please tell me what programming language (apart from Javascript) was used in his code?

I could not find in my JS documentation, e.g.:

- stream.bytesAvailable
- container.getDevice().doneResume();
- FileSystem.getFileInfo(...)
and others.

Is my docu just too old/bad? Or are these expressions from other languages I have definitely NO IDEA about? (like: php, cgi, perl ...) I thought the SONY just uses Javascript!?!

Thank you VERY much for any hint to a (not totally) blind amateur!

It's JavaScript, but the functions you're asking about are functions/methods provided by the Reader-supplied/specific objects, not functions built into the language itself. The problem you'll have is that these aren't documented anywhere (other than, presumably, within Sony,) so it's been a matter of investigating the files/scripts already on the device in order to determine what functions they call in order to find what can be done.

Thanks, gwynevans.
Now I know at least there is no other "exotic" language involved...
When I googled these function names I mainly got links to "Flex"-related sites - and I never heard of that before...

If anybody happens to have a link to some kind of "overview" page that would be fantastic, though. (I found a "resources505 Folder" here at MobileRead. I will start with that one...)

Hi!

By now I'm on a good way with my game. But I want it to be playable in English as well as in my own language - German.

So I have the difficulty to get "Umlaute" and special characters (ä,ö,ü / é,è...) onto the screen. My "autorun.js" froze immediately when I used "ä" - even in a /*comment*/ !!!
I want to write "Have some fun!" AND: "Ich wünsche viel Spaß!" ...

How can I get specials onto the screen?
("ü" or "& # 223;" won't do. anything with "^", "\" no better...)

I would be glad for any hint!!! Thank you!!!

Make sure you save the .js and .xml files as UTF-8.

... I will do that.
Apart from this I found a function (method?) in an older selfhtml file recommending

String.fromCharCode(223)

(223 resulting in "ß").

Thanks a lot for your help and this great site! Clemens
