What programming languages were used in making of DROD?

C++

np: Röyksopp - 49 Percent (The Understanding)

Could it be possible if you turn this into Java? The original DROD crashes my comp.

C++.

The source code is available here.

You would then have rewrite *ALL* of the code, make transitions to Java libraries, which will introduce more bugs that will have to be resolved, more testing will be required etc. etc. Plus, Java is slower performance wise.

If it crashes your computer, try to consult the "Bugs" section, as there's no other place to turn to, it seems (search doesn't turn up anything useful).

Huh?

As in, "will this cow go over 50 if I turn it into a badger?"

The original DROD crashes my comp.

Wait... if any DROD manages to do that your computer is highly messed up to begin with.

Also, which "original DROD"? The Webfoot one?

np: Autechre - Chenc9-x (Quaristice (Versions))

So Vike91, you haven't been able to play DROD for the last year since you registered?

There are two problems in using Java for DROD.
* DROD uses quite sophisticated graphics (shadows, lighting). This graphics would be very slow are require a lot of memory, because there is no native implementation for it in Java2D.
* DROD uses metakit database. Java implementation of database would be extremely slow and use a lot of memory too.

Although, may be dual-core computers with 2Gb of memory could run such Java program.

PS JNI could be used to solve the problems above, but JNI-libraries can crash your computer as well as DROD.
