That is why, one should use vector graphics. The XML SVG is a good place
to start.

Java is actually better than Ada for this situation, methinks. 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.
