Title: JCharas.EX?
Post by: GaryCXJk on March 04, 2007, 03:18:41 PM

Okay, so I have a big problem.

See, I was supposed to work on Charas.EX. I never really did, because learning C++ is like, learning C++.

So, what have I decided? Since I'm doing a study called Medical Informatics, I had to learn Java as one of the courses. So, what I'm about to think of is making Charas.EX in Java.

There are some advantages and some disadvantages.

+ It's platform independent: no porting to other operating systems needed.
+ I can actually do it.

- It works like helluvalot slower.
- Less customizing abilities.
- Might not work 100% correct, due to memory.

So, what would it be?

Java's nice. I'll be learning it in college and could try and work on it too if you want. Mainly I'd like to look into having it lookup resources online and then display a list of the online resources which are then downloaded and saved when the user selects them.

Nice idea. But Charas.EX also had the ability to change the colour of the resources, so that should also be sorted out for that.

Anyway, as a test for images, I'm currently working on an online MUGEN Stage Viewer in Java. So far I did manage to load up the content of a ZIP file.

1) Java is not slow, it was some YEARS ago, now you could handle 3d, 2d and what ever you want without being slow.

This does not mean that your application will be FAST :-) 'cause if you don't know how to manage it to make it good enogh to be fast, it will be slow :-)

2) less customizing -> as for speed: if you make an open source project, maybe someone will join (java it's simpler and spreading over a biggest community then ever) so you could have someone joining to make it more customizable (and to fix it, if it's slow)

3) due to memory? surely it will have no problem due to memory (i dont understand what problem u think u could have

cya
(great idea)

Java applications are actually used to manage italian Dogane services, some tax applications, and many others (should be only 11 milion users from only 4 java applications).

If a pc crash with java it means the pc it's sick :-)

OpenOffice runs off of Java, and runs fine, although they have a community of talented and experienced developers working on their project.
