Execution Engine (also known as ExEn) was a gaming engine developed by french company In-Fusio in around 2000, was is the first Java-based games engine entirely dedicated to mobile devices. The company re-developed the ExEn V2 engine in 2002, which further improved the speed and expressiveness of mobile. It was first a Java-based game engine entirely dedicated to mobile devices itself as an alternative to the limitations of J2ME's game development (offering missing feautures like sprite zooming, parallax scrolling, rotations). In-Fusio, is also not demanding in terms of technical requirements, 100 kB of ROM and 32 kB of RAM are enough.

In-Fusio plans to launch its MIDP 2.0 (Mobile Information Device Profile of J2ME) compliant “ExEn Java Extensions” by the end of 2003. Most of the development platforms that we mention here are free unlike the restricted SDKs of console games.

The In-fusio SDK is available both as a command line version, as well as GUI.
The API is based on Java and is very similar to J2ME, but is optimized for game development and deployment instead. Even the programming style is almost the same. The ExEn API has various gaming specific classes that are absent from J2ME. ExEn was the first mass market downloadable game engine to be made available in Europe. This was an important first step that allowed ExEn to achieve the current position of leader in this continent, making it the most used game engine (which also means that it's the one with a wider range of games.
