Java Technology Demo Showcases Quake

Posted by simoniker on from the earth-shaking-or-cereally-boring? dept.

solarisguy writes "I saw earlier today on JavaGaming.org that Reality Interactive released a non-playable demo of Quake in Windows or Linux flavors, implemented entirely in Java. It runs natively on Linux, 1280x1024 at 60fps on my box with around 65% cpu. Could this be the future of games on Linux?" This ties in neatly to our recent posting on Sun promoting Java for higher-end games development.

    torrents can be used for files less than 100mb in size :) i was getting a very quick download speed, i'm guessing many people are leaving theirs open even after the download.

    would have been nice if they had also provided torrents of the game itself (which you have to extract some level file or something from)
