I'm currently using Java to write a game, it's pretty pretty good  Better than dealing with Fenix anyway. Also Eclipse is the best IDE ever made ever. (As long as you turn off it's auto-completion) ____________ laffo |

I'm also making a game in Java: Online Tic-Tac-Turn. I don't really like Java in particular for games and in fact I dislike Java when it comes to GUI's. But for the most it does what I ask it to do, so I'm happy. I'd rather use Fenix than Java for a game any time, though. I haven't tried Eclipse, I thought I'd stick with ConTEXT for this as well (I even made it actually Run java classes using a Fenix made program). What makes Eclipse so awesome? ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |

Quoting Sandman: I haven't tried Eclipse, I thought I'd stick with ConTEXT for this as well (I even made it actually Run java classes using a Fenix made program). What makes Eclipse so awesome? It just has lots of really nice features, I like how it does the projects, it's pretty much made for Java so it has things like built in documentation, and roll-over help popups for things like custom functions and classes. I use it for PHP and C++ as well, mainly because it has an awesome error underlining feature, everytime there's an error or a warning it gets underlined and you're told about it. A lot of the problems with stuff like PHP it catches when you normally wouldn't. For instance, if you misspell a variable name in an expression, it will underline it and say that it possibly hasn't been defined yet, whereas PHP doesn't need variables to be explicitly defined beforehand. ____________ laffo |

What kind of game are you working on? And what kind of graphical libraries are you using? At university we're made to work with Jedit which isn't much more than notepad with highlighting. At home I also use Context set up in a way very much like how it treats Fenix files (same hotkeys, same highlighting colors/font). And Sandman, what does your fancy fenix program do that batchfiles can't? In the very near future i'll be rid of java for the rest of my life (hopefully).

I'm making a TBS in the vein of Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Battle Isle, Super Robot Taisen etc Graphical library? I'm just drawing to a Swing panel. It's widly faster than I ever would have expected before actually trying it, I've been able to achieve a steady 60 fps, but I have it locked at 30. ____________ laffo |

Using Swing here too. I couldn't get it to work with batchfiles, Rince, probably because of the package system. ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |

Java is a great language. I prefer Netbeans to eclipse though. The only problem with Java is you can't free memory.

The autocomplete for phpEclipse is abysmal - but I probably haven't got it configured properly. At the moment it just seems to list every variable in existance as soon as I hit the $ key.

Auto-Completion is the worst invention ever. You should turn it off at all times. I can't beleive I said that a few posts back. *sends regrets, a greeting card, and a beautiful flower to Fiona* ____________ Kwakkel |

I guess it goes to show, you can explore lots of platforms, programs and utilities and be happy with what you settle for. Unless it's Gemix Studio. Which will be costly and crap. ____________ |
