S60 5th Edition: Solitaire Game Example
This C++ example application demonstrates a fully touch-optimised application using various touch UI features of S60 5th Edition with direct manipulation. Besides tapping the cards, the user can drag and drop them using a finger or the stylus. The application demonstrates handling pointer events of custom made UI controls. Also, tactile feedback using the Touch Feedback API is received. Double buffering is used to draw on the screen to avoid flickering. By default, the cards are implemented as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) icons, but the example also provides an option to draw them using methods of the graphics context class CWindowGc. In the updated version, major drawing optimisation has been done. The example application was developed for S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CCoeControl, MTouchFeedback, CFbsBitmap, CWindowGc.
Application --- Example; Entertainment --- Games, Graphics --- SVG, S60 --- S60 5th Edition, Symbian C++, UI --- Touch UI; English (en)

Game Design
The Game design section of the Design and User Experience Library discusses usability and user experience issues that are specific to game design. The section describes usability from the game design point of view and contains game experience-related information, tools, and examples to assist game developers in developing usable games. The section gives guidance on how to sell and deliver a positive game experience and also describes how mobile game heuristics can be used for evaluating mobile games.
