Hi,
If I knew how to disable that system menu I certainly would. I've looked
through all of my C# .NET materials and can't find any documentation how
to remove the system menu from the screen.
As for moving to the Java platform it wasn't too bad. I already had
Genesis 3D ported to Java 6 so porting the game over was fairly simple,
and only took about a week of editing and debugging. The bigger problem
is that the engine needs some serious proformence tuning and editing to
operate as well as Beta 4. I've noticed the game is a massive memory hog
when it is running when I tested it on low memory systems like an old
laptop I have laying around here 256 MB was definitely not enough. I
constantly get out of memory errors, and sometimes I get that error on
512 MB systems in a room full of items and monsters. So I have been
doing a lot of work making the game run faster, lighter, and better.
Mainly instead of depending on Java's garbage collecter I've taken
memory management into my own hands and that seams to be giving me
improvements already. I just need to locate were all the major
bottlenecks are and kill them.

Hi Tom,
That's odd. I've never had trouble with the Alt key in DirectInput...I
wonder if it was a Managed DirectX issue. Either way, you can probably
disable the "system" menu pulldown so that there's no menu bar to go
to in the first place. Smile. I'm glad to hear Java is working out for
you, that was indeed a huge switch!
