Game Dev in Java: Possible!

[Code6226]

When I think Java, I think that it runs everywhere... slowly. Well, after trying a new mutliplayer action game with scrolling, I was proven wrong. Altitude was coded in Java, using:

java
eclipse
lwjgl
visual studio express
ms sdk 6.0 (moving to 6.1)
apache
truecrypt
amazon s3 and cloudfront
ultraedit
jedit
Virtual Box
cygwin
ej-technologies
cvs
mysql

So most notably the lwjgl library, which seems to be like an SDL for Java. Java's normal networking libraries seem capable enough from my experience, so rather than pygame, this Java w/ lwjgl thing is the new graphics game library on top of my list to try.

The game looks and runs great, the netcode seems awesome too, and how cool is this: http://altitudegame.com/download.html
