J2ME Game Design

I wa sloking for tutorials on making cell phone games and I found the following link:

http://wireless.java.sun.com/midp/articles/game/

I was curious if this is the way most games are made or if this was just something put together quickly. Another question I had was when changing game states do I just load new GameCanvas(es)? For example, moving from the intro to the menu and then finally to the active game would have three canvases, one for each game mode.

Cheers,

For MIDP2 based side scrollers, yes it uses active redering, and polling input.

I'd go with just one. Less classes the better. YMMV.
