Puppytron
January 12th, 2005 by CrusaderA reader sent in a release announcement for Puppytron, a Java-based (a version 1.4 or better JRE and hardware OpenGL are required) game; it’s also noted that you’ll need to allow outgoing connections to puppygames.net port 1099 to see the high score table. There are other Java games at PuppyGames, including a Space Invaders-style shooter on the front page.

That’s gotta be the highest quality of graphical java applications I’ve seen![br]It almost makes up for the thousands of complete crap ones that I think have been giving java such a bad name :)

The secret to all the niceness is LWJGL (www.lwjgl.org). And you’re right – Java can’t do it on its own! We ditched AWT completely and made LWJGL to take care of the deficiency.
And it runs on Mac OS X too :)

New features added:
* A little timer at the bottom left tells you when the level is going to end
* Shooting powerups cycles them so you can pick the one you want
* P now pauses the game
* F1 now toggles BIG SCREEN MODE! (640×640)
Still hoping for a few more donations :P
