milliway is on a distinguished road
What's interesting is that my client *will* run, reliably, and predictably, on every platform supported by Sun Java 1.5, and probably just as well on any platform supported by a third-party v1.5 JVM, *and* it will look and perform identically everywhere it runs. It's hard to believe, but Sun has achieved this. Swing (for the GUI) and Java itself are 100% portable. If you're having trouble getting it to work, I'd be glad to help you with architecture decisions, or help with whatever you're getting stuck with, just drop me an email or catch me in-game. If you're using the Java 1.1 AWT trash that's built into some browsers, then it would be very non-portable for sure, perhaps that's what your Bejeweled-type developers are talking about. They are quite likely trying to design something that will work with all of these old browsers without having to download a multi-megabyte Java plugin.
