Requirements Analysis Document
Designer’s
Interpretation.
This
project requires the development of game(s) software. The project will focus on
certain types of games that are played on the African continent by Africans.
The
game(s) to be developed should be ported to cellphones, and should be able to be
downloaded to a cellphone from a Cellular Service Provider (CSP) game server.
Designer’s solution.

development
Research
Research
will be done into African games of the following type:
 |
Board/Bead
games (main area of concentration) |
|
Street
games |
|
Mathematical
games |
|
Puzzle

Development and Deployment
Scenario
1
Figure

Description
The
cellphone user uses a cellphone with wireless capabilities to access the game
server from his/her CSP.
He/she
then downloads a game e.g. Bantumi from the CSP, in order to play the game.
Scenario
2
Figure

Description
The
cellphone user plays the game via a wireless connection (online), either against
the computer or another online user.
Two
users download the game from the server onto their cell phones.
This
scenario can be sub-divided into two sections:
-
They initiate the game via their infrared ports on their cell phones.
-
The alternative is to play the game on the server via a wireless connection, using Bluetooth technology.

solutions
Research
will be done to check whether some of these games have been implemented already
into a personal computer software application.
If any,
it will be checked against the characteristics required for choosing a game for
this project to see whether these games can be ported to cellphones.
