SMS-game "Tamagotchi"
CBOSSpet implements an exciting interactive Tamagotchi game for GSM and D-AMPS mobile subscribers. The owner communicates with a virtual pet by SMS or via Web interface. Graphics-enabled mobile phones display life events of a virtual pet.
SMS Tamagotchi is a full scale solution, beating even specialized gaming devices, e.g., allowing pets of different owners to communicate with each other (love, fight).
System Operation
To start the game, send a special message with the pet name, game complexity level, need for graphics, and you will receive an egg with pet's embryo.
