Issue nr. 1: Bennu to Flash I was wondering how hard it would be to write a Bennu to Flash converter (nothing big, just swap keywords, ya-know-whut-I-mean?) I am not exactly sure as to how different Bennu syntax is of Flash syntax. I suppose one could do it in XSL for starters. The problem though is that a Flash project is completely different. Flash works with keyframes and yadda yadda. So I don't know if it would be really an easy job to do this or if it's better to code in ActionScript anyway. Issue nr. 2: Popularity If a game was to be created and one would want the biggest possible audience, would it be a feasible idea to write it in ActionScript (Flash)? I am thinking through here, hm. What if you put all the binaries and compiled Bennu .exe into one .zip? Well, people would still need to unrar and guess what, people like to browse-click-play just like for Flash games. lol Let me know what you think, programmers of the world! \o/ ____________ |

Or hw about a java applet that can inherit a bennu program as a whole, without the need to convert the code? I dunno Flash is suitable, but Java maybe could do the job. Anyone has experience on this?

Like Dennis, I'd asume java would have more syntactical similarities than flash. I don't know how many people are using Bennu at the moment though. If you go that far, it might be a better idea to contribute to creating a Java API which makes it easier to program games in Java... On the other hand, I can imagine such things already exist... ____________ |

Speaking of game API's. I have made a game in XNA for my previous degree. =D That framework is what you are describing, except it's for .NET. Yeah maybe such a framework exists for Java. =O ____________ |

it has been mentioned before: http://www.booleansoup.com/ind … opic&id=680 And also: I do not mean to rewrite Bennu in Java code either. What I mean is that java might be able to use the compiled Bennu code in a container and show it in an applet. ____________ Kwakkel |
