1. Eu To Java?
Well, I was bored (like always..) so I started
coocking up miniature graphic sprites..
One was Santa in a wheel chair, shaking his walking
stick (lol!).
I thought: "Hey! Let's make a cool MTS-quality game
out
of this!".
MTS-quality meaning a game like you have never played
before.
So I started coding this in Euphoria.
Basically, you are Santa Claus who's in a wheel chair,
driving off a snowy cliff.
After a few seconds of moving around, a duck flies by
and breaks the silense with a 'QUACK! QUACK!', and
then
drops a turd on you, wich you must seek to avoid.
Following the duck is not a flow of other ducks, but a
few hundreds war army heads, UFO's and guided missles,
all at once blazing through your screen trying to take
you out.
You as Santa must, offcourse, defend yourself by
waving your walking stick in the air while cursing.
Crazy ass game huh?
Well, it's crappy to release such a game to the net as
a DOS or Windows app, no one will play it, but it'd be
nice if I'd set up a wab page with all kinds of crazy
games written in Euphoria, AS JAVA APPLETS.
I thought this was possible using David's Eu To Java
translator, but apparantly he's taking the same path
Rob took (ie. finally create a Eu To Foo translator,
and then don't tap into Foo's supperior native
features over Eu).
So David, Java is so great because you can plug any
Java app into your web page and your browser will
execute it.
If only we could code Eu programs, translate to Java,
and stick it in a web page.
Speed don't matter that much, but functionality does.
I'm gonna have to hand-port the translated program to
run into a web page right now, and that's hard to do
for a Java analphabeth.

Change line 2570 from:
printf( handle, "class %s {\n", {class} )
to:
printf( handle, "import java.applet.Applet\n\n", {} )
printf( handle, "public class %s extends Applet {\n", {class} )
Instant Java applet.
As for missing functionality, it's easy enough to interface the code to
Java. Take a look at EJ.TXT for a description of the conversion routines.
For example, WIN32LIB.EW creates an interfaces ej to Swing. You can write
your own wrappers to Java routines in a similar manner.

Thanks man!
That's a good sollution to my problem.
Maybe you should include a 'how to' with the
translator package?
'How to create a Java applet using EJ' or 'How to wrap
Java functions to Euphoria' or something like that.
Would be cool.

Some time when it's out of beta.
