After reviewing the brief history of micro-device software development, this guide shows how to code games using Java 2 micro edition (J2ME), particularly for mobile phones. The author describes the APIs provided as part of Sun's J2ME SDK and some features available with device-specific libraries, then walks through the development of a full-scale action game. A basic knowledge of Java is required. The CD-ROM contains Nokia developer's suite 2.0 for J2ME and a demonstration version of Adobe Photoshop CS.
