After spending significant time and resources learning some C I am finding out that I''m looking at some serious portability issues (targets WIN, LINUX, MAC 7-9, MAC 10) 1So, can Java really run on all these machines? 2Are Java games unstable or "crash happy"? 3Do all high end computers have Virtual JAva Machine? 4. Is there an example of a Java game that I can download and test? 5. I know some other programming language, I took to Java right away, it seems more like what I''m used to then C am I mental or something? 6. Is Java *really* slow? I am only needing 2D 256colors? 7. Does Java have any weaknesses that I''m missing above? how is it at data manipulation? Can I seperate data and logic as in other languages?
