The problem is not programming, but economics. The Java standards for phone games let you find out all the capabilities of the phone. It's just hard to design games (in any language) that look good both in B&W text and in 24-bit color bitmaps. Ada wouldn't change that fact. -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).
