A Study on the Source Translator for Generating the Android Game Source from the WIPI Game Source

In the mobile market, the appearance of various smart phone platforms such as Android, iOS(iPhone), Bada and Window Phone has led to game developers to repeatedly develop game contents to suit the different mobile communication companies' platforms in order to service mobile game contents. Furthermore, to use each of the game contents developed on the existing feature phone platform, they need to be recreated based on the smart phone platform. Consequently, large amounts of time and expenses are being used to analyze and convert the sources and resources of the mobile game contents for use on the smart phone platform. Rather than creating new game content, developers are investing twice the amount of time and money required to develop a game for one platform in making existing game content available on other platforms. In this paper, in order to resolve such problems the source translator of the automatic mobile game contents converter system will be implemented in order to convert the WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) game contents for use on an Android smart platform. This system has enabled contents to be transferred into smart platforms within a short time, so that the time and money it takes to launch services for different mobile communication companies can be reduced. Furthermore, game contents developed for use on feature phones can also be converted and used on smart platforms to increase reusability of game contents and also new game contents creation processes can heighten productivity to consequently provide a more variety of game contents to users.
