Hi, Quote You completely misunderstood Thomas, he definitely said that at this stage he can't develop a version of raceway to work on mobile phones, that's another kind of java used for mobile phones and at this stage Thomas don't have the resources and time to work on it. End quote
Actually, it is not a different Java programming language but a different software development kit. Non-programmers might not understand the difference, but there is still a distinction. For example, for Windows there are three different development kits for playing audio. There is OpenAL, DirectX, and SDL. If you were writing some program in C++ the programming language would not change. What changes is the dll files you use to play your audio. If you were doing Directsound the lib file is dsound.dll and in sdl it is libsdl.dll. The programming code required to support those dll files is totally different, but the language is the same. The same applies to this issue with Java on a cell phone. Java is Java no matter what. The difference is that there are different packages required for writing some apps for cell phones. A java package is basically a jar file of classes arranged into a library similar to typical Windows dll libraries. Though Java's packages are much more powerful than a simple dll library. I hope this kind of explains the issue here. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
