The IDK Project [Java]

[Emily]

Wow, a project that looks promising. Better report this guy to Ella ^.^

(all jokes aside amigo) I haven't seen you state anywhere why you chose Java? Is there a particular reason to it? And will you eventually host this and make a live demo for people to check out?

Best of luck amigo.

Actually, Java is very useful since (and I quote this from a guy on a Dutch forum so if you think this statement is bad please say so I can flame him) it can run on Linux and C# can't and C# you need to run on Windows Server and it's not good to run it on a server with GUI because of the performance.

It also runs on every platform, unlike C#.

Just started to work on a design for the homepage.

c# can be run on linux via mono.
c# runs fine with a gui.
c# also runs fine withouth a GUI on windows server. (server core, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R1) (AS LONG ITS A CONSOLE APPLICATION)

Every language could run on every system if you write a runtime environment for it.. I'm currently sorting the catalogue and fixxing some furnis.

But he said because Windows Server has GUI it slows down performance. You're Dutch so this is the original post:

Omdat Windows een OS is met een GUI, als je een server draait wil je geen GUI hebben omdat dat een verspilling van server resources is.

It was a discussion about 'how to run a java emulator' and then this guy said to use a Linux Server since Windows Server has GUI.

 

[vista4life]

That's correct, alot of resources will be loaded for the GUI for a application the best way is like thor a service , no bullshit no console just log file to check the status.

Doesn't this Release version also include snowstorm? Thought it did...

 

[Liam]

Development is looking swell, honestly should release a BETA build or something to give us a taste of the project; or even a live hotel running from the emulator, would love to test it out. Good luck!

Will the database be anything like Plus Emu's? I'm asking because I'm starting a retro soon and if I start off with Plus EMU, I want to hopefully have a chance to switch over to this

The server has an own database structure but I've coded a script which transfers data of a butterfly/phoenix database to an IDK-DB.

 

[The General]

This still has more features than Phoenix.

You already started on games (BattleBanzai / Freeze) ?

I've already written a plan how I could do this efficiently but there's nothing done yet.. I'll start to work on soccer, Battle Banzai and Freeze when I've finished the catalog (sorting, translating and fixxing some furnis).

 

[The General]

Do you know if the release you are working on has snowstorm?

 

[steffchef]

Do you know if the release you are working on has snowstorm?

The release I'm using doesn't have snowstorm.

 

[PR0]

The release I'm using doesn't have snowstorm.

For your battle banzai plan, does this include the complete filling in of fully bounced on squares?


PS. The migration script sounds absolutely wonderful.

 

[SebastianaEC]

God cant wait till this is finished

Wrong on so many levels.

ikr..

 

[steffchef]

Started to work on Battle Banzai.

You shouldn't have released so much personal information about yourself on this thread, especially with the crackdown that has been happening as of late. People who continue to develop need to try and remain as anonymous as possible.
