Any open-source C++ Symbian games out there?

you can get a pretty good introduction using 9210 game source (go to www.symbian.com and search for 9210 game), it's pointed towards 92xx/symbian 6.0, but the major difference is that you will have to use a different approach to direct screen access (a quite new paper on symbian.com page explains how to do it well with Symbian 6.1)

Another good resource are source snipsets from emulators like frodo etc which are opensource

JimBob1971,

I have started with the excellent codes (available on the net) of Ashley Montanaro; see his homepage and download code at :

Thanks guys.

Ashley's site looks very useful.

Is it possible to point me to the exact place where the '9210 game' (and direct access paper) resides? The symbian site offered me 30 pages when I searched on 9210 game!!!

Thanks again.
