Case Study: bit Time achieves rapid Android game development and global downloads with Embarcadero Delphi and InterBase

bit Time powers Connect4 Android game with Embarcadero, reaching 50,000 downloads

bit Time, a software development consulting firm, faced the challenge of expanding its market opportunity by rapidly creating a mobile version of its Connect4 game for Android devices. They needed a development solution that allowed for fast deployment, efficient battery usage on mobile, and could beat the competition to market. They turned to Embarcadero Technologies, utilizing Delphi and its DataSnap technology.

The solution implemented with Embarcadero involved using the Delphi XE2 DataSnap mobile connectors and the InterBase database to build a multi-tier architecture for the Android game. The DataSnap callback technology was key, enabling efficient server communication that conserved device battery life. The InterBase database provided a fast, zero-maintenance backend. As a result, the Connect4 game was successfully launched and has been downloaded over 50,000 times globally, generating revenue through in-game advertising and serving as a successful pilot project for bit Time's mobile development.
