Hi all!
I am using not .net because I don't want to have a requirements page with
lots of updates the user must download.
The motto is:
Instal and play
So I stay with direct x 8, because it's simply installed on each windows
system.

Hi Munawar,
Well, Java is getting faster. The Java 6 runtime has pretty fast
exicution speeds compared to earlier releases, but it is still primarily
designed for general applications and not so much games. I've used my
fair share of Java apps on Linux such as Star Office, Sun's MS Office
Hello nick.
I did my first year in computer science using Java. While it isn't the
best language for fast action accessible game development, it has many
selling points, including portability and it also has similar syntax to
c++. All in all it isn't a bad language to start with, especially
Hi Jason,
While you made some very good points on the subject of C++ verses .NET
there is perhaps some other things here maybe you haven't considered.
When it comes to supporting multiple operating systems like Mac OS,
Linux, and Windows it is certainly true supporting all three platforms
Hi Willem,
Good point. I think strictly for training purposes Java is good to know.
Plus it is nice for general cross-platform programming. It just isn't
too cool if you want to write something like Tank Commander or Shades of
Doom. It wasn't designed for anything quite that intensive.

Nick,
Here's the link to the Java Access Bridge:
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/accessibility/accessbridge/
We use it with Java / Swing for all our games.
However, I agree with Thomas.
If you are starting out with no legacy code, then you might be better
off with Java / SWT.
Hi John,
Well, as far as Java and sound goes there are a couple of solutions that
could give a developer high powered audio support if he/she needs it.
One such package is the free and open source Joal project which is a
Java binding to OpenAL 1.1. Through Joal a Java developer could get the

Java will work with Jaws for Windows if you use the Java access bridge.
That is a program that allows access to Java from Jaws. 7-128
I must say that is quite exciting! So I can take advantage of java

Hi Nick,
When it comes to Java there are ways of making your Java software
accessible. Currently there are two accessibility solutions available.
The first is if you are using the Swing graphics toolkit for programming
you will need the Java accessibility bridge in order to get programs

How would I get swt to work with my programs?
I assume that I could write the code, compile, etc, but I would
obviously have a hard time running it if it didn’t work with my
screenreader. Basicly what I’m asking is, where would SWT come in to
play? I assume I would need it to debug because I would

All of Sun's accessibility projects can be found on

Hi Nick,
Sure there are. I can tell you right off hand you can find books on Java
programming on Bookshare, and Safari has lots of Java books as well. I
have a rather large Java collection myself, about 25 books in all, so I
know there is quite a bit of material out there on the language.
Hi Nick,
SWT isn't a program but a package or library of classes and functions
used for drawing windows, buttons, text labels, etc. Basically, all of
the things you would expect from a standard Windows program. It is what
we call in the programming business an API.
You add it to your Java
C++ wins cross platform absolutely. But with virtual desktops, it's not as
big of a win as it used to be.
If you go C++, you absolutely must learn object oriented programming
concepts. C++ supports these, but they aren't as elegant as more recent
programming languages like C#. If you use C#, you
Okay, where can I find a good tutorial for the pygame language that will let

Will pygame transfer between windows mac platforms or do I need to make two

Which game types will this support: card games, board games and such?

Hi Damien,
Yeah, I know. C++ has several different data types including chars,
strings, shorts, booleans, longs, double, floats, pointers, integers,
plus several ones Microsoft created for handles, dword flags, results,
etc. When coming from Visual Basic 6 or one of the .NET languages it can
