    After a bit of searching I found out a lot about programming for mobile games.

    As of right now Java is the platform to take when programming for mobile phobes.
    To start go to http://java.sun.com/javame/index.jsp
    You want to download Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC.

    There is a compiler called NetBeans that makes the coding process easier. Unfortunately my computer is too old to run it without bogging down. Still its a fantastic resource, there are a few others out there but this is one of the main ones.

    You can actually download netbeans with the IDE at the java website.

    Next if you are a newbie to coding like me you will need some kinda of tutorial to walk you through the java basics.
