Working as a virtual machine, ExEn® is a safe engine for handsets preventing many security problems occurring when games are run locally (viruses, crashes…)

      - Color
      - 3D matrix calculations
      - 3D rendering primitives (wireframe, flat or textured triangles)
      - sprite zooming,
      - sprite flipping / mirroring
      - scrolling parallax (several playfields at the same time)
      - Fully transparent or masked cells in playfields
      - Raycasting
      - Screen rotation (rotozoom) & various FXs

ExEn® and J2ME™ are not so different and ExEn® paves the way to a Java language based standard.

The main difference is that ExEn® has been optimised for advanced game features.

Every non-ExEn® phone manufacturer has its own specific Gaming API (even on top of MIDP 1.0, the mobile phone profile of J2ME™) which induces developers to produce specific code and intensive tests for every manufacturer J2ME™ implementation.

Today, ExEn® enables game inter-operability and deployment on operators networks, whatever mobile phone brand. It allows a true multi-vendor phones support.

This simplifies development, broad deployment, and execution of mobile games.

The future MIDP™ 2.0 standard defines a minimum set of game functions to be available in future phones. Even with MIDP™ 2.0, advanced and rich games will require new Game APIs that ExEn® can provide.

Today, consistent with its strategy of moving towards J2ME™ standards, standard classes of ExEn® Version 2 are set in conformity with MIDP/CLDC (Mobile Information Device Profile / Connected Limited Device Configuration), which addresses issues such as user interface, persistence storage, networking, and application model.

The ExEn® roadmap will feature new advanced game capabilities and future MIDP™ 2.0 Game API compatibility.
