Forum :: Lounge :: Java to Shockwave

If anyone knows how to convert games that rely on Java to Shockwave or Flash format I would greatly appreciate it. Have searched for hours and found no results. I'm assuming I would have to find the source and create it from scratch.

+1 for any information relevant to this.

Shockwave, Flash and Java are three very separate systems. You'd have to dramatically change the structure of the game (Shockwave/Flash games typically are typically animated vector assets, not pixel buffer-based as a Java game would be) on top of rewriting it for a different language (Lingo, ActionScript or Java).

Edit: You said "Java" in the topic and "JavaScript" in the body which is, again, very different from Java, Flash and Shockwave. Depending on how a JavaScript+HTML game is constructed (moving images around on the page or using a canvas for a pixel buffer) depends on how easy it would be to convert the game to Flash / Shockwave, though it would still be a dramatic rewrite.

I was typing real quick so I didn't have time to check over what I wrote. I'll just rewrite the game from scratch I guess then since its only 8 bit and doesn't have any difficult coding.

And I have personally never worked with Java before so I had no idea how drastically different they were. (I have used java before just never tried anything like this)

Edit: Fixed it, javascript is just written files.
