New to Programming?
You might know that computer programs are just bits and bytes,
but the details are usually deemed to be too complicated.
With the help of JBit and your mobile phone, you can see for yourself
that they are not.

New to the 6502 CPU?
The 6502 was very popular during the 70s and 80s.
It was the CPU of the
Commodore 64, the
Apple II and the
NES,
among others.
It is one of the easiest CPU to learn, yet it is powerful enough
to power the brain of the
T-800 (a.k.a. The Terminator).

Experienced 6502 Programmer?
JBit includes a fairly complete mapping of the MIDP2 Game API. This gives you
dozens of tiled layers and sprites for your mini-games.
A flexible streaming PNG encoder allows you to define your images
using several packing modes, from 1 bit per pixel to true color with
alpha channel.
