That's right folks. I'm back. About time. Why the disappearance? A little thing I like to call... life. Well, now that I'm back on track, here's a little low-down of what's to come...

I've given up the project I was working on in its original form.

Why?

Because it sucked. A lot. SDL is far from complete on some platforms, and is very unreliable. So that's the bad news. What's the good news?

I'm writing it in Java. Java 1.4.2 has all the things I've been missing. Using Java I will create a brand new version that will have new features, including the ability to run from a webpage (games can be hosted on a server, and served up this way... Cache within the browser will limit the amount of bandwidth needed to play the same game twice).

Anyway, it'll not be done until at least 2006, but at least I have a direction. Work will progress more once I get myself un-addicted to World of Warcraft, but at least I've learned when to say enough is enough. Besides, I do pretty well coding at work when nobody's looking...

Off to sleep I go. Have a great night, everyone. I'll be looking to review some of the new WIPs when I have a moment. I'm sure a lot of people have done a lot of work since I last looked.

Trust me, no one noticed.

(The servers been down for a good couple o' weeks, in-case you hadn't noticed)

Well good luck with your project, hope it works out better.

You're scrapping the whole thing? Well, it is good to see you have a second go rather than disappear forever (which is what appeared to happen), so I am glad to see you back.

I happen to be using SDL + C on a partial port now. That means I have no plans to implement everything or add new features. I'm counting on you, Neo and Mike to do that : P
