Play There

If you have a Java™-enabled mobile phone and GPRS is enabled with your phone service provider, you can enjoy the Field of Play on location in Harbour Lane, Melbourne. On-site you will use your phone as a remote control to participate on the Field of Play.
small mobile client

Technically, the application requires MIDP2.0, CLDC1.0, a colour display and GPRS networking. If you have played other network games on your mobile phone, there’s a good chance you can join Field of Play.

Alternative Client Versions

For older phones that do not support Java MIDP2, try the midp1 client version with no sound. For newer phones with large displays, download the Large icons version.

Data charges

While you are playing, there is data being transferred across the network, so you should be aware that your phone provider is probably charging you for data transfers. A single game will transfer no more than 10kb.

Install with Bluetooth

Download the application (.jar) file to your computer by clicking on one of the links above. Then transfer the file to your phone using Bluetooth.

(You will probably need to enable Bluetooth discovery on your phone. Then, on a Mac, use the ‘Bluetooth File Exchange’ application to send the jar file to your phone.)

OTA (Over The Air) Java™ application provisioning

Alternatively, you can download the Java™ application directly to your phone. Enter the following URL into your mobile phone’s web browser and select the application version to download directly.
