The simplest
and surest method of determining whether or not your phone is
capable of running Go Test Go software is to download a sample
test we have created for this purpose. Simply navigate to http://gtg.mp (gtg.mp is a URL just like gotestgo.com BUT you only have to press 6 keys to input gtg.mp on your phone) from your phone, choose Downloads and follow the prompts to use this simple and effective method of determining
whether your phone supports Go Test Go software.
Go Test Go
will not charge for this sample test, but you should be aware
that you will likely incur data charges from your cellular network
provider. These charges vary by network provider and whether or
not you subscribe to a data package. The sample test is 64k, and
cellular network charges should be minor.
However, this is the simplest method of answering whether or not
your phone supports all Go Test Go software.
If you are
interested in learning more about the technical requirements and
making your own determination, further explanation is provided
below.
Java Requirements
Go Test Go
was developed using Java, specifically J2ME MIDlet technology.
If you phone supports Java, which is commonly identified by phone
manufacturers and cellular network operators as supporting "Downloadable
Java Games", or just "Downloadable Games", then
it will most likely support Go Test Go software. Additional specifics
pertinent to Java versions are found below.
In addition
to the general requirements of the previous paragraph, there are
a few other requirements with respect to maximum midlet size,
phone memory and navigation keys.
Maximum Midlet Jar File Size
Go Test Go
Tests are designed not to exceed a maximum Java "jar"
file size of 64k. Go Test Go targeted 64k in order to ensure the
widest possible number of phones were capable of running our software.
Almost every Java enabled phone will support a jar file size of
64k. However, a small number of older phones have slightly smaller
capabilities and as a result, not all Go Test Go tests are supported
on these phones depending upon actual jar size.
Minimum Memory
Go Test Go
Tests are also designed to operate with a minimum amount of program
or heap memory. Go Test Go software was targeted to phones that
support a minimum of 210k of heap. Once again Go Test Go set this
target in order to ensure the widest possible number of phones
were capable of running the software. However, like jar size above,
a few older phones may once again have lesser capabilities, and
not be capable of running Go Test Go software.
Cursor
Key
In addition
to the memory requirements above, there is also a requirement
for a "4 direction" cursor. The right and left cursor
is used to navigate between questions, and the up and down cursor
is used to move up and down within the questions. The number keypad
is used to select potential answers, and provide further navigation
capabilities like page up and page down. Absent a "4 direction"
cursor, you will not be able to navigate the test questions.
Colour
Go Test Go
Testing software makes use of colour for aesthetic reasons only.
A number of foreground and background colour combinations are
available to choose from. However, the software does not rely
upon colour for any functionality. Go Test Go software works on
colour and monochrome handsets alike.
Screen
Size
Go Test Go
software is designed to dynamically adapt to various screen sizes,
using as much of the screen as possible for the display of text,
and panning when images or text must extend beyond the screen
border. Tests are typically developed with an approximate screen
width of 120 pixels and a height of 96 pixels, resulting in most
graphical images being purposefully limited to this size.
Java Version
Specifics
Go Test Go
was developed using Java 2 Micro Edition, Connected Limited Device
Configuration version 1.0 and Mobile Information Device Profile
version 1.0. No manufacturer specific API's are used. Go Test
Go software should be compatible with any J2ME CLDC 1.0, MIDP
1.0 AND higher (CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0) handset.
