nice post.

that undead arena looks good, however seems incomplete atm.

Java rocks!!! Undead Arena is encouraging even though it is uncomplete. I will take a huge pleasure to use this example as an argument when some C++ programmers says that’s impossible to make a good 3D game with Java!! ;D ;D ;D

Ummm, Undead Arena won’t launch on Mac OS X. :frowning:
