Game API - Explonoid

Description

This example MIDlet shows you how to create a game that supports multiple screen resolutions. The MIDlet demonstrates a way of covering practically all screen resolutions in one MIDlet by using a scaling algorithm for the graphics. The MIDlet itself is basically an Arkanoid clone, but with electric frosting.
