In the last year I've had this dream about being able to run my Blitz games in a web browser or downloading them with java webstart or even run them on my java enabled cell phone. Tonight I took this dream a step forward by finishing my Blitz tokenizer/parser. I now have a Blitz parse tree to work with, and can easily generate Java code for custom types, functions and statements. The compiler utilize SableCC as it's compiler compiler framework. The compiled blitz code will run either as java applications or applet or both and in fullscreen if the JVM (need v1.4) supports it. I'm so excited right now. I'm having problems going to bed, because I want to finish this. Maybe I can use idx3d to support basic 3d functionality? Well.. let's stick to Blitz2d 2 Java as a start... :-) You can test the converter here: blitzjava.pilen33.org/compiler

What level of emulation do you plan on developing this too?. Hope you get the networking side of things done as well, cause im working on a website that I would love to use this for (broswer intergrated games).
Good luck with it, its a very cool idea!. ;D

You dont even need to own the Java language do you?

You dont even need to own the Java language do you? You must have the JDK installed. It needs the javac compiler to compile the generated java source file into bytecodes (.class).

Hm... Cool ;D I've always been interested in making java applets. So could I use a java applet compiled with this to run a downloaded application that the user has, and possibly embed it in the web browser?
If so, everyone who ever dared to charge money for a horribly slow vrml plugin with unaccessible features and a wildly expensive SDK will suffer miserably. Muahahhahaha!
