Will Oracle Keep Funding Sun's Pet Java Projects?

    I'm underwealmed. Very slow startup (somebody doesn't know how to manage resources effectively), very crude graphics, and it took me only a few minutes to get bored. It starts out trying to teach you how to cast "fireballs", which amounts to a cutsey implementation of the that lame old computer game artillery. The only way to figure out the right trajectory is trial-and-error, and after a dozen errors I lost interest.

    If this is the best Java gaming has to offer, then I rest my case.
