WGE was a game engine designed to support games in C++ and Java can be ported to the WGE platform and can be embedded in the handset, or securely downloaded over the air. WGE does not contain a Virtual Machine and runs the compiled code. As games and applications run faster and require less memory, WGE also provides secure methods for run and download applications. Although it is a little slower than [[Mophun]], but the several API modules make 2D and 3D programming easier (including tile management and collision detection functionalities), allow a simple access to networking functions and good sound support, among other capabilities.

WGE handles the over the air (OTA) safe download of games, security verifications (certificates) and the MMI integration of new titles via TCP/IP over GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA and 3G networks. TTPCom's WGE also fully supports Symbian and Microsoft Operating Systems. The Wireless Graphics Engine provides a very high level of security with a PKI application provisioning mechanism and manufacturers can enable the download of WGE games via the existing Java OTA download (JSR-118) standards.

The gaming application runs on TTPCom’s revolutionary Wireless Graphics Engine (WGE). G-WGE™ is one of three applications that run on the WGE platform. The other two applications are M-WGE™ and J-WGE™. M-WGE™ enables handset manufacturers and developers to rapidly create better looking and more user-friendly ‘man-machine interfaces’ (MMI). J-WGE™ accelerates standard Java™ games for a considerably better user experience.

Wireless Graphics Engine (also known as WGE) was versatile Wireless Game Engine and a micro footprint software platform, which turns mobile phones into handheld games consoles, written in C. It was the first platform to enable high quality games using 2D graphics and sound to be integated, developed by TTPCom in early-2000s. TTPCom is now sold by Motorola.

Overview

WGE was a game engine designed to support games in C++ and Java can be ported to the WGE platform and can be embedded in the handset, or securely downloaded over the air. WGE does not contain a Virtual Machine and runs the compiled code. As games and applications run faster and require less memory, WGE also provides secure methods for run and download applications. Although it is a little slower than Mophun, but the several API modules make 2D and 3D programming easier (including tile management and collision detection functionalities), allow a simple access to networking functions and good sound support, among other capabilities.

WGE handles the over the air (OTA) safe download of games, security verifications (certificates) and the MMI integration of new titles via TCP/IP over GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA and 3G networks. TTPCom's WGE also fully supports Symbian and Microsoft Operating Systems. The Wireless Graphics Engine provides a very high level of security with a PKI application provisioning mechanism and manufacturers can enable the download of WGE games via the existing Java OTA download (JSR-118) standards.

The gaming application runs on TTPCom’s revolutionary Wireless Graphics Engine (WGE). G-WGE™ is one of three applications that run on the WGE platform. The other two applications are M-WGE™ and J-WGE™. M-WGE™ enables handset manufacturers and developers to rapidly create better looking and more user-friendly ‘man-machine interfaces’ (MMI). J-WGE™ accelerates standard Java™ games for a considerably better user experience.
API
The Wireless Game Interface (WGI) is the core of the WGE product as it provides access to all the mobile phone resources, from the display driver to Bluetooth technology. This API offers a carefully designed interface compliant with industry standards. The interface can be addressed through dedicated objects via C++ or Java languages.

The WGI API is modular and consists of:

  • WGE 2D which handles devices, virtual devices and canvas objects
  • WGE 3D which gives access to 3D graphics
  • WGE Sound for adding music and sound effects
  • WGE Net which provides access to various network facilities
  • WGE Input allowing applications scanning for user input to be made independent of the hardware used
  • WGE System allowing access to system resources
  • WGE Download which handles OTA download, security verifications and MMI integration.
