Execution Engine (also known as ExEn) was the mobile gaming engine, developed by french company In-Fusio in early-2000s (main July-2001), with Sun Microsystems's mobile Java platform, J2ME. It was the very first 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). The company re-developed the ExEn V2 engine in 2002, which further improved the speed and expressiveness of mobile. In-Fusio, is also not demanding in terms of technical requirements, small and light, (less than 100kb of ROM and 32kb of the RAM in its initial version) the software's main function is to download and run games on mobile phones. The ExEn technology which is fully J2ME MIDP 2.0 game API compliant, has been designed for games containing animated graphics, sound, 3D and colour.

Overview

The In-Fusio SDK is a Java based GUI game development environment on ExEn. They have two kinds of engines on the client side mobile phone, basic and advanced. The basic features of the same are:

ExEn basic (v2.1): 256-color or black and white, 2D, client side game engine, with a memory footprint of 140k on the mobile device. Released in early-2003.

ExEn advanced (v2.2): 65k color, polyphonic sound, 3D, in-game Macromedia Flash, client side engine, with a memory footprint of 240k.

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. This platform is no different. The SDK and documentation can be downloaded from the in-fusio website by filling a simple form. 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 (The technology allows users to download games, new levels or characters over the air to play on their cellular phone. The games are then run locally without the need for a continuous connection). 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.

ExEn is a compact game for mobile communication devices JAVA virtual machine. Once integrated with the terminal, It can download games and play native games. So as long as the built-in ExEn Cell phone with chip, You can start from ExEn The content supplier passes GSM or GPRS Network technology, Download to your mobile phone to play.

ExEn: for devices that supports ExEn V2 (ExEn embedded phone, press key 9 for 5 seconds. If an In-Fusio logo appears, It is ExEn mobile).

Features
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

EGE (ExEn Gaming Extensions)

The first Orange handset to ship with EGE is due to be launched in Q1 2005.

The start-up IN-FUSIO announces that the Orange Group has chosen ExEn Gaming Extensions (EGE) for its Java mobiles of the Signature range, for all of Europe.

ExEn Gaming Extensions is IN-FUSIO’s new gaming engine, created to run on all MIDP 2.0 handsets. It is designed for the end-user: improvement of the game play, user-friendly interface and innovative service offering. Enable game developers to focus on game play, rather than API integration (EGE works on Java MIDP2.0 handsets and integrates multi-player and 3D capabilities).

EGE leverages/ignites the capabilities of Java MIDP 2.0 game APIs by offering (providing) a number of enhanced functions, while focusing on providing player-friendly services.

Features
- "Real-time" multiplayer functionality (not available on initial handsets)
- Enhanced (Improved) 3D game play (not available on initial handsets)
- 'Recommend the game' function...to a friend, relative...
- Try and buy
- Simplified user interface for easy game play: direct access through a dedicated key (different according to handsets - fast and simple access in particular), dedicated game menu, etc.

ExEn vs J2ME

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.

- 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.

- Consistent with its strategy of moving towards J2ME standards, standard classes of ExEn V2 are set in conformity with MIDP/CLDC, 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.
