Current Release: (in development)
Click here for Andrews Asteroids
Overview:
I plan on porting as much of the original Defender as possible to a Java, with both an Application and Applet front end. I'll probably also add some enhancements (once I've thought of them)....
System Requirements:
Andrews Defender requires the Sun Java 1.4 Plug-In / Run Time Version. This is because I wanted to play with the latest Java2D stuff. The pug-in can be downloaded from http://www.javasoft.com.
Key Assignments:
None yet
FAQ / Common Problems / Notes:
How do I launch Andrews Defender ? The applet should have launched when you navigated to this page. If it hasn't, check your Java Console for the source of the error.
Change Log:
1 November 2003
Partial development of the basic framework. Well on the way to having the landscape rendering completed. Applet currently displays a scrolling landscape. I am experimenting with a new timing method to get around the problems with System.currentTimeMillis(). The current target FPS is 30.
