I’m pleased to announce that I grabbed a copy of Robert Temple’s old Java Netrek Client (JTrek) version 0.9.4 beta and have it _almost_ playable! JTrek was written in 1997-1998 for Java version 1.2. It took a bit of tender-loving-care, but I’ve got it imported into Eclipse, compiling, running against pickled.netrek.org <http://pickled.netrek.org/>, and _almost_ playable. Github repository is https://github.com/netrek/JTrek <https://github.com/netrek/JTrek> Check the releases section for the latest prebuilt runnable jar file. The most visible problem right now is that all mouse clicks are torpedo clicks. Laser or change-direction are not recognized (I think option-click worked for lasers though). I’m confident I’ll have the mouse issues knocked out in a couple days (I’m not actually a Java programmer, this is a learning exercise for me). Here’s a screenshot: https://postimg.cc/PNqxYcz1 <https://postimg.cc/PNqxYcz1> I’ll update and announce more widely once I have it more playable. I’m also happy to review and (hopefully) accept pull requests. Darrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
