Whoops, I went on a tangent and wrote a small Harrier Attack remake. What I was trying to prove is that Java is capable of high performance 2D games.


What I did prove (quite conclusively) is that it is not. The screenshots still look quite pretty though. In fact they should look quite familiar to anyone who's written, say, Chickens 3 :)



The problem is AWT seems to render very slowly (even when using hardware acceleration) and I really should be getting more than ten frames a second for this :(.

On the other hand my memory manager IS fast - I'm really quite impressed with myself *grin*.

Anyway I didn't actually mean to post this ;)

Later!
