Uplink Killer - Christmas game for Uplink fans ;)
Hi I've made a cool game - download it here: http://cyberluk.kissneo.com/
This my first game in Java - I've made it in one week in which I started to learn Java (it was so quick because I already know C,C++,C# and PHP5).
So play it as "test-game". In Flashlink (Uplink Online) I'm switching from Flash to Java - the server is already in Java....I'm now going to learn some 3D

Oh I can see that you are probably another noob and don't know what Java is.
Today Java has next-generation compiler called HotSpot...you don't know nothing. A PC game Chrome is made totally in Java. Java is here for more than 10 years already!
Java is the most modern language - I know C++ - it sucks because it has not packages,finally word,enum,new for cycles,etc....in C++ you can write without OOP - in C style, but in Java you must know what OOP is (Object Oriented Programming). Microsoft wanted to push out their new Visual Studio and be better than Sun with Java so they have taken C++ and made C# ,but C# runs only on Microsoft systems and doesn't have the advantages what Java does.
Today, you can make OpenGL 3D Games in Java,3D Operating systems (see project Looking Glass from Sun),classic hardware-accelerated 2D games,play mp3,ogg files,etc..
And the latest version is Java 5.0 which really rocks
But If you aren't developer,you may think that because some today games uses C++,that there isn't anything better,but you're wrong mate.
When you make something in C,C++ or C# ,it runs only on the system on which it were built - eg. Windows,Linux. But if you make something in Java, then it automatically works on ALL Operating systems without problems.
I think that there will be more Java games now,when it has so many things inside.
So please don't say that C++ is better if you don't know how it is. On Colleges,there you don't learn C++ ,but only Java -think why.
EDIT: Java is not a interpreting language like PHP. Java is a semi-compiled language....something like C++ but better

I think Luigi300 most probably does know what Java is.

So uh, one game is made in Java. Compared to...how many in C++? It's been around for 10 years and only has one game to show for it?

...you say that as though no other programming languages can do things like that. Heh.

Yes, a good point of Java is it's platform independance. However, having to mess around with a runtime environment isn't quite as easy as running a pre-comiled .exe. And it's not too hard to download binaries for your platform.
This isn't intended to slag off Java, but your fanboy attitude towards the language alarmed me. :|

Java is generally about 10x slower than C/C++. In most games this speed penalty is prohibative. Java is nice for what it was made for which is rapid development of cross platform tools and for use in embedded systems like cellphones, Java games are generally rather hideous (I find the GUI is almost always laggy beyond all reason).
Well Java is there for over 10 years,but it started at coffee machines Now there's a 3rd generation of compilers - and for your information: you can also precompile java program and make a binary for Windows .exe or for Linux .sh ,and you can include the JRE on the CD (+14MB).
Core Java2D OpenGL has been added in Java 5.0 "tiger" so it's new and Java3D exists few months too,so it's new - developers haven't probably too much time to try it....today commercial games are made in C++ ,but this may change now.
You'll see....I'll make Uplink Online in 3D in Java and it will run smoothly I've also tested the new operating system (Linux 3D) from Sun and it run smoothly too even that it's only alpha version.
Yes it's not sooo fast right now,but the compilation technique gets better every day....at first Java was only interpreter language but now the HotSpot compiler will convert your 'hot' code into assembly/machine language
I can now make a GTA 2 game in Java and it will run on all systems that run original GTA 2.
Most of people have 1,2 or 3 Ghz machines, some of them have 64bits ,so you can make 64bit games in Java today - I think you won't have problems with running kick-ass games on Java. It's not perfect yet,but it's awesome.....Doom 3 would lag ,but games such as Quake2,GTA2,Need For Speed 2/3 are ok ....The portability is awesome,because I want to switch from Windows to Linux completely and use the same applications. And Java is the right way to do it. I hate MS politics.
I'm developing in IDEs (integrated development environment) whose are written fully in Java - it uses Swing or it's own 'theme engine' and I have no problems on PIII-866Mhz,256MB Ram,WinXP
The game I've made runs smootly in 1024x768x32 on this machine - not many games can be played in this resolution on 866Mhz. If your graphic card supports OpenGL, you can turn it ON with additional drawing methods (eg. Bicubic,Billinear filtering) and you get better quality and performace.
