Looking for an update

[Mindgamer]

Hi DF. I have been away from game development for a while but I am hoping to start up again. I am trying to get a picture of what has changed while I was away so I have a some questions for you if you can spare a few minutes....

The last time I was around you said you were in the process of adding OpenGL support also to jSeamless. Has this happened or is still the plan... Or have you changed your mind about this?

Also what is the best way of keeping up-to-date with your doings? This forum... or...?

And last but not least... give us an update on Galaxies Beyond

Well, yes and no on OpenGL. Yes I've been actively moving forward with OpenGL in jSeamless, but not with the 1.x codebase.  I'm currently developing jSeamless 2.0 that abandons the whole "UI abstraction" concept in favor of doing everything in straight-Java.  With Java 1.6u10+ applets are now a viable choice for the web, and with that comes a new direction for jSeamless to pursue utilizing one implementation (OpenGL) that can run client-side as an Applet, WebStart, or stand-alone application. You can check out the new branch here:

The forum and my blog (http://www.matthicks.com) are the best ways to keep up with progress on projects.

Galaxies Beyond and game development in general has been put on the backburner for a while, but with the new direction of jSeamless it is slowly but surely turning into a UI framework + 3D engine, so though I'm pursuing jSeamless for business needs now, it will further my development of games in the future.

There are so many varieties in shaft style, loft, design and flexibility in hybrid golf clubs for sale that you can always find something that will work specifically for your particular golf swing needs. Ishiner Because these clubs are easier to hit and the shorter shaft lengths make them easier to control and hit consistently, there is a definitely a place for a hybrid or utility golf club in every golfers bag. You won’t go to golf course without them.
