Re-writing DB in JAVA

No, really. Converting procedural code into object orientated.

Somebody want to lend a hand?

Also, if we could get a SVN set up for it, that'd be sweet.

This has actually been something on my mind for a long time (Mainly because Java is my native language); I'm not too great at programming UI and I/O stuff, but would be glad to lend a hand at anything else.

Shasta:
Honestly, there really isn't a great reason to make a Java version of DB. DB2 sucks to work on, yes, but if you just copy it, the same problems will remain no matter what language it is written in. I have been a bit MIA the last month, but I will get the next version out at some point :dry:

DB3 would be a much better place to focus any development effort towards a new version of Darwinbots. C# is similar to Java, but in many cases I believe it is a much nicer language. C# can also be cross-platform through the Mono project and with the modular structure of DB3 this should be too hard, and is something I'm willing to look at in the future.

Ammeh:
DB3 isn't finished though :|  Plus I think we can pretty much ignore most of the code of DB2 and rewrite it.

the reason I say java is that it doesn't require messing about with to work on other OS's. Mono is nice and all, but I'd rather not have to install a bunch of libraries to make one thing work. Pretty much everybody has java.

bacillus:
Well, it looks like DB3 is nearing completion (The last post I see in the forum was in November when Nums was messing around with graphics); I'm willing to wait a few months before a new project is started. In the meantime, I'll just quietly stalk the forum...as always...  :D
