This sample J2ME demonstrates the use of Canvas in a midlet. Most of the graphics methods available are used here to let you quickly learn the concepts of graphics programming in J2ME program. It also shows the basics of creating a J2ME game using the controls of a phone. For example handling the left, right keys and the up, down keys etc.
