Yes, I really think you should forget about Java for now, also
networking and all of the other fancy stuff. I may try porting
some of this to Java to see how it performs, but that's just
an experiment. The one thing that I think is important is that
we end up with a windows version, not that I want it, but for
people who aren't techies. I think it was mentioned that SDL
is portable to windows, next question: what compiler is there
for porting this stuff to windows? Is there a GNU compiler that
works on windows? I am totally clueless on windows development.
I wonder if that free borland C compiler would work with SDL?
I really hate the idea of using commercial compilers and tools
(ie let's avoid visual studio etc).
