The Secret of Monkey Island
You fight like a dairy farmer.

The java docs sum it up nicely

I have a $200 sound card and $10 speakers :-/ I end up listening to game loops, (If I can get audio working on my computer, who said linux is easy). Super Methane Brothers, Frozen Bubble, Monkey Island. That or I listen to radio.

Why can't they make Java3D webstartable ?
I am on a computer that the admin would blow his top if I started installing software but webstart is fine This is not against you caza but to the J3D developers.

Seattle Times section on Personal Technology compares Xandros and Lindows as two alternatives to Windows for desktop computing. Their verdict: installation - excellent; OpenOffice - good enough; digital cameras, printers and other peripherals - excellent; CD burning - no problems; video playback - could be better (with more progress bars and support for Apple's formats); digital camcorders - poor; burning audio CDs - poor; Net access and Web browsing - no problems.

X has been around for an incredibly long time. And all graphics drivers are written for it.  Changing to an new system, Y windows, or such would require a complete rewrite of every gui library and graphics driver. I agree it could be improved upon but a new system would need to be compatible with X. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Well I despise the 8 (at least) different ways to do 3d with java (ducks).
Come on, the java people are not that much better

I am trying to say if you want to flame blindly there is a place for that to

After "the anti-linux args" thread (It probably should have been the anti-linux desktop thread). I though it would be nice to see if anyone has something positive to say about linux. If you have any negative comments post in the so mentioned thread. I'll start of the thread.
The nicest part about linux for me is the configurablity. I have much more control over my system and desktop. It was very easy to set a cvs, ftp, webserver that is infinitely configurable.
I also find linux to be incredibly stable. I can run my computer without ever having to restart, reboot just to wipe out some obscure bug.
I also believe that unix programmers in general have better programming skills when it comes to system daemons.  Windows programmers seem to have problems writing daemon programs that run for all users (Windows packet writing software has been really bad but is improving).
Well that is my view of the world

Your class needs to implement keylistener. Add the keylistener to your applet "this.addKeyListener(this);"?

Who are these people? Why should I care?
I have heard the names of these people in passing but who are they? How can I vote if I have no idea who is best. Can't the nominees say "My name is Smith and I will do x,y and z. I have   a,b and c experience?" How about endorsements people saying, "Elect Smith because I like his shirt color!"

It seams as if our own space ghost is now into office furniture  design.

Yes it is all opinion based. Same as Ford vs. Chevy, Toyota vs.   Honda, do those "As seen on T.V." products really work?, magnetic braclets to help circulation, and herbal remadies  
As with any language, product or car YMMV.

As in the words of the famous cfmdobbie

The ONLY reason I use Python is because I hate perl.

If anybody wants to look at the code

Anybody have the source for there own ResChooser I can look at?

Ok... Here goes...
I am working with JavaNoob’s “full-screen windowed frame work” and added a resolution chooser.
So in main I create the chooser and when I get a window closed event I create an instance of my main class (Test).
So when the frame comes up “all” AWT events get buffered. Only after I break my render loop it will process the events.
But if I bypass the chooser and just create (Test) in main. All events work fine.
If you need the code I’ll post it later today.

I use eclipse for all the work I do...
It's free and easy to get up and running (Same cannot be said about net beans...)

Actually I am not the creator of the site...
But I just wanted everbody to know about it.

I would like to make sure everybody knows about http://www.javaonthebrain.com (some people might already know about this...) it has some of the best Java games on the web. There are probobly 15 games out there with all the source
