• Getting Started With the MIDP 2.0 Game API by Qusay H. Mahmoud   - [Clicks: 99]
  Version 1.0 of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) lacked advanced graphical features, and as a result provided limited support for game programming. Some of the device vendors responded to these limitations by adding additional proprietary classes, but using such APIs reduces code portability. MIDP 2.0 has shed many of these limitations by defining a new Game API package, javax.microedition.lcdui.game. This article reviews MIDP 1.0's limitations for game programming, then presents a quick introduction to the MIDP 2.0 Game API.

• Game programming with J2ME Polish by Robert Virkus   - [Clicks: 91]
  The J2ME Polish game engine provides the complete Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0 game API on MIDP 1.0 devices. In this article, an excerpt from Pro J2ME Polish by Robert Virkus (Apress, July 2005), you will learn to optimize the game engine by setting various preprocessing variables; work around the game engine limitations on MIDP 1.0 platforms; and port MIDP 2.0 games to MIDP 1.0 platforms by using vendor-specific libraries for low-level graphics operations, sound playback, and device control.

• J2ME Tutorial, Part 3: Exploring the Game API of MIDP 2.0 by Vikram Goyal   - [Clicks: 95]
  J2ME is a popular platform for developing games for wireless devices. With MIDP 2.0, a new package has been introduced that provides several gaming constructs that would only have been possible in MIDP 1.0 with a great deal of repetitive code. In this part of this tutorial series, I will introduce you to this gaming package and help you develop a simple game that uses all of the classes of this package as a learning tool. The package is called javax.microedition.lcdui.game, and it builds upon the concepts that you learned in the previous installments in this series.
