Nokia 3310 Simulator

The Nokia 3310, released in 2000, is an iconic mobile phone known for its durability, long battery life, and the timeless game Snake II . This paper presents the design and development of a web-based Nokia 3310 simulator. The simulator replicates the core graphical user interface (GUI), keypad interactions, and classic applications (Phone, SMS, Snake) of the original device. We discuss the technical challenges of emulating monochrome LCD behavior, interrupt-driven key handling, and state management using modern web technologies (HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript). The simulator serves a dual purpose: providing a nostalgic user experience and offering a low-fidelity testing environment for legacy UI/UX patterns.
