Java Utility Classes for Quake Engines
The "id Files" is a collection of files intended for projects
that use Java for Quake-engine based games. It is set of
utility classes bundled as the idfiles package. While
the package is experimental in nature and not yet in a
state that warrants a production release, it might be
educational to look at the design. Review and feedback are
much appreciated.

| The idfiles Package |
|
Goal:
A set of utility classes that provide OOP tools for tackling coding
issues related to Quake-style games by
id Software. Within the scope
of this project are mathematical functions, lookup tables, geometry
databases, procedural texturing and mipmapping methods, memory
allocation and pooling, and GUI issues. In particular, I aim for
providing Java classes that cleanly encapsulate single concepts
from the Quake editing utilities or game DLL. The package will also
include Java proxies for portable native code in C and C++.

| Jinx |
|
Goal:
A minimal Java built environment: pure Java, self-contained,
integrated utility code and minimal wrapper front ends,
LGPL'ed/public domain code only. This is in a very early stage.
Within the scope of this project is javad, a Java
VM service, prox, a simple proposal for a
platform-independend "executable property file" wrapper format,
and iava, proposing an interpreted subset of Java
as a scripting language for Makefiles and shell scripts.
Jinx was born out of necessity, and is meant as a support for
building the id Files package. However, it addresses generic
issues of seamlessly and efficiently using Java executables
in native OS environments.
