I wouldn't want java anywhere near my webpage...
?
I guess you're picturing a beautiful well developed site with Java on it? Fat chance.  Try a product shipped on CD to connect to a customers database to allow them to edit it.

I'd take flash over java. :P

The old system is in flash.  Vista doesn't like Flash apps accessing locals files =/ Either patch, or use Java.  We went with Java because of the broader support - also I have a personal thing for open-source, as Java becomes more and more open-source I tend to lean more to it.  Flash 8 that I know of only runs on Windows and Mac

If you're talking about a TI-83, I can't imagine that's accomplishable. >_>

There is higher TI's than the 83.  But the 83 or the 83+ does support BASIC and if I'm thinking right NetHack is written in BASIC.

Oh my god, that would be the slowest thing ever. It's probably done on a later calculator, as you suggested.

Update:

Okay, so after the RPG engine was built, I decided I wanted things like a minimap and fog of war, so it sort of became a pseudo-RTS engine.

Lately I finished the map editor, 12 tiles (when you have 400+ on the screen once, making them tile well is a bit tricky), and started working on a data format for players.

Anyone here have any java networking experience?

Cool, but the lack of perspective in those things always messes with my head.  Things further away should be smaller. :P

I could do that. I hadn't considered it before, maybe make stuff that is above a certain area on the screen use a multiplier to shrink (*.8) and stuff lower on the screen (i.e. closer) could have a multiplier to grow (*1.1)  hmm...

Yeah, Java is very slow, I wouldn't even learn it if it weren't for my growing clientbase
not true, there have been tests done that show that java has vastly improved its speed, and in several instances is faster than c/c++.
but lest i seem like a java fanboy: java's ok, but after learning a little C, i think i like it. :) just wish i knew more of it.

cool stuff, yootz, i'd love to see it!
