Reading a text file I wrote in 1996 to figure out how to set up data files for a very similar game…
Except the OG game never really shipped. The doorgame prototype (1990) did. The Java version was always beta-ish and had no real game world done, just engine. Later games based on it did.
I have a history file which brings back *MEMORIES*. Oof.
Sidetracked into updating old Java code.
WTF they removed Thread.resume/stop‽ What am I supposed to use, harsh language?
Shit that I've had to type:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-21-azul-zulu.jdk/Contents/Home
<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="bin"
includeantruntime="false"
>
WHY IS THE DEFAULT ON includeantruntime NOT FALSE ALREADY‽ WTF APACHE‽
Fucking Oracle:

This was the game I wrote my fast line-of-sight algorithm for!
Behold, the technology & hacker-drawn art of 1996!

Also the audio used sun.audio.*, which of course hasn't worked for 20+ years.
FUCK. ORACLE. FUCK LARRY ELLISON TO DEATH WITH A CHAINSAW.
