I’ve added a new game-related demo, this time for the always popular “Game Over” screen. This demo showcases one of the many tricks that can be done with the J2ME ARMY KNIFE library: real-time dynamic masks. Check out the live demo (it’s been updated) to see it in action!
Also related to dynamic masks: I’ll be [...]

Also, the demo framework has changed a bit, it should be faster now. It does have a couple of snags, such as stalling a bit when changing scenes, but I’m working on those.
