Since I got my first Java-enabled, colour-screen Nokia (in 2001 I think) I've been into the developing mobile games. Having existing knowledge of Java and the experience of delivering on a very limited platform (graphics calculators when I was at school) made it an ideal field for me to knock out games in. I've written quite a few popular games, most of which I happily give away for free but in the past I have been hired to developer 'premium' titles including Sudoku and Kakuro games for the Corriere della Sera in Italy. Due to other commitments I haven't written any new games for awhile and very possibly I won't be writing any more (although if I do - it will be Future Force 2).
All of the following games can be downloaded directly to your phone by visiting http://wap.lostincode.co.uk on your phone's WAP browser.
Bag of Dice
Bag of Dice is a simple application for simulating dice rolls for use with roleplaying games, adventure gamebooks, board games etc.
Simulates rolls for the following types of dice:
D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20
Creepy Crawlies
The aim of the game is to get as many of your bugs to the other side of the board while trying to stop your opponent from doing the same. Players take turns at sliding a column up or down once space. It's as simple - and as a tricky as that! Think of it as chess meets your back garden.

Text Adventures
Drawing inspiration from adventure game-books such as Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy and the interactive text adventures from the early days of computer games, these games allow the player to take part in an interactive story where their decisions affect the plot and outcome of the adventure. Relying on text rather than graphics and sounds make these games very small in size to download but nevertheless enjoyable and replayable.
