<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hey Everyone,<br /> I just wanted to let everyone know that I have done a little bit of work on the sound section of the JGage project. I have added some code to allow for looping of sound clips. It still has bugs, but I will eventually get it.<br /> --Tim</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hey Everyone,<br /> I just wanted to talk a little about what is going on with the GAGE project. All development at this point is being done in Java (except for Python scripts). I haven't had a lot of time to work on the project, but recently I have made a few bug fixes and added some new objects. If anyone has any questions please e-mail me at alltheluck@users.sourceforge.net with the subject GAGE. Thanks for your interest in the project.<br /> --Tim</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>In my effort to create a simple video game I have always thought of portability as being key to creating a quality product. Some of the issues I'm dealing with right now in the design stage directly relate to this. <br /> The C programming language using the SDL API was my first choice for the game project. After all C is very fast and most very portable with SDL. The problem with that is that in order to be portable with platforms other than Linux I would have to provide binaries for those lazy Microsoft Windows users. I don't have a Windows machine and don't want to put windows on anything that I own so I needed to find an alternative. <br /> The alternative that I was searching for is Java. Java is an excellent problem solving Object Oriented Programming Language. Because Java apps run on a Virtual Machine there is no need to recompile the application for use with other machines. Java does not come without its draw backs. Because Java runs over a VM it is not as fast, so concequently the system requirements for any application will be raise slightly. The other problem is that with C and SDL there is the possibility of porting the game to certain consoles like Playstation 2 and Dreamcast. <br /> In the end I have decided to focus my efforts in both areas. I will be designing the engine in such a way that it is practical to be developed in either the C or Java programming languages. Most of my development efforts at this point will be towards getting the Java based engine to be somewhat functional. <br /> If anyone would like to get involved in either the Java or C and SDL project e-mail me at: alltheluck@users.sourceforge.net</p></div>
