Example: Creating a game using the Gesture API

This example MIDlet shows you how to use the Gesture API to implement touch interaction in a game application. This example also covers some key points to consider when developing a game for the Series 40 platform.

This MIDlet is optimized and originally designed for the Nokia X3-02 device, which has a touch screen combined with a numeric keypad ("Touch and Type").
