Welcome to Don’s Mobile Journal

Hi everybody, and welcome. This is my site dedicated to Java ME programming and mobile gaming. In the coming weeks I plan on writing some articles related to what I know about Java ME, specifically as it relates to game programming. This is also where I will distribute my own MIDlets for people to download, free of charge.

At the moment, I am working on what will be a pretty sweet side-scrolling platform game. I hope to have a version out within the next month or so. In the meantime, feel free to try out the games I currently have available. Have fun!
