Abstract:
Most African board games have high state space
complexity and limit their implementation on mobile
phones and hardly any are. In this paper, we discuss the
state space of such board games and investigate several
African board games from the Mancala family. The
paper provides a basis and rational for software games
that match the broader interests from the continental
context. We implement a version of the board games for
the Nokia GPRS mobile phones and describe how the
game was developed, and tested. The game application is
for the Nokia 6310i mobile phone. We describe how the
game was developed, implemented and tested on a
mobile phone.
