Title: Few questions
Post by: flow10000 on May 03, 2013, 04:50:07 pm
Hi,
First, excuse my english which can be bad...


I'have a few questions about the JAVA Binding in SFML.
I plan to develop a game with SFML and I want that game be played on windows, linux, and MacOs X.
Is SFML with JAVA a good idee to do that ?
Risk I to have any troubles with this solution ?

Will JSFML continue to be developed in the future ?


Thanks for your answers.

Hi!

Yes, JSFML can be used to make games for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. I would not know of any "troubles" you are risking (what exactly do you mean by that?).

There are still a bunch of things to be done. You may have noticed that JSFML has not been officially released yet, but a test release (http://www.jsfml.org/?page=download) is out there for people to play with. It should already work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

There is not so much progress at this time, because I am pretty busy with my job and university, but yes, the plan is to get a release candidate out there soon and maintain it during SFML 2's lifetime at least (for the next few years, I guess). The more people who give it a try, the better. If there are any troubles, please go ahead and report them and they will be looked into. :)

Oh, and don't worry about your English, it will improve over the time. :)

thanks for your answers :)

By "troubles" I mean bugs which prevent the viability of a program.
According to your answers, I think i will try to use JSFML to build a home framework to make games.
I will report bugs and anomalies I will find ;)
