Java and GNUStep roguelike games - GPL2, WIP

[elvish healer]

Hi,

I've made a java engine for doing the graphics, http://code.google.com/p/wizardrpg

Then I made a GNUStep nethack starter room code with Views as a tile engine. It is based on GMines-0.2.

The project is hosted here : http://code.google.com/p/ghack

Everything is GPL v2.

Enjoy,
EH

Good to see a new Java roguelike engine! Your "Surface" approach to doing the graphics with bytebuffers is interesting..... not saying it is a bad idea but why did you do it this way (as opposed to just using regular images)?

FWIW, my roguelike Tyrant is also GPL, so easy to swap / borrow code :-)

The bytebuffers speed up lots of graphics surface development, such as filtering for night/day e.g. a blue filter in the evening. libSDL is where the surface idea comes from. Surfaces are BufferedImages wrappers which can be better emulated.

I do not have the time to look into it but I'm glad you wrote a game released under the GPL.
