playing Head Over Heels on my PowerBook. (I remember the game from my Commodore 64-using adolescence, though I don't recall getting that deeply into it.) (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cyflea for the link.)

Next up, it'd be good to see an updated port of Wizball (though I'm not sure whether the usual tracker-module/eurodance versions of the Martin Galway theme music would work just as well; some of the things he did with the humble SID chip may not work with the usual sample-based module.) There's already a somewhat enhanced port of Paradroid (now with added penguinhead anti-Microsoft ideology!), which is quite good.

I looked at Java today for the first time since the days of Java 1, AWT and the Blackdown Linux JDK. (Not counting the times when I tutored Java programming courses a year or two ago.) Anonymous inner classes are something I hadn't seen before, and a bit unexpected to someone to whom Java was essentially C++ with training wheels.

         frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });


I wonder whether Microsoft ripped this particular syntactic quirk off for C#.
