Now if only somebody like Sixxie could get hold of the source code or make an XROAR JAVA port we could have the games running directly within this site...

I have asked for the Mocha source a few times over the years....didn't get a NO....but didn't get the source either.

Have you ever asked Brad if he would consider doing a Dragon version?

The XRoar code, whilst quite modular, makes lots of use of callbacks and C's ability to just pass around function pointers - the event system which schedules everything relative to the CPU in particular. I don't think this is made easy in Java.

I did start rewriting it in C++ (just as an exercise, not for any practical reason), and even C++ turns something as simple as a void pointer to function into big piles of inheritance and templating. For something as simple as event dispatch! Don't know what people see in this new-fangled "OO" nonsense
