Example: Creating and optimizing a 3D mobile game

3D maze game for Nokia Asha software platform and Series 40 full touch phones. This Nokia example game demonstrates the use of Mobile 3D Graphics API, gestures and accelerometer sensor. The concept of the game is classic and simple: guide the marble through the maze by tilting the phone until the time runs out. The gestures utilised in the game are pinch-to-zoom and double tap.
