Web-Based Game System using the Java Programming Language: The Reality beyond the Technology
There are hundreds of web-based game systems available on the Internet. Flash versions of classic arcade and popular role-playing games are now plying the game screens of your personal computer display. And mind you, these web-based game systems are created and developed by individuals who have devoted some of their time in studying different programming languages to come up with new and better versions of existing web-based game systems.
One of the popular programming languages used in creating and developing web-based game systems is the Java programming language. In fact, it is preferred by most online game developers than the Shockwave and C++ programming languages.
Java is an object-oriented programming language designed by James Gosling together with his colleagues at the Sun Microsystems (a computer-vending company that is famous in developing innovative technologies) in the early 1990s. One of Java’s distinctions on other programming languages is that it is generally designed to be compiled to the conventional machine code or to be interpreted from a so-called source code (series of statements that are written in the form of human-readable computer-based programming language) at runtime. Java is compiled through a byte code and later run by a Java virtual machine.
As previously mentioned, most online game developers prefer Java programming language than Shockwave (preferably due to some of its obsolete features) and C++. You will notice that Java is somewhat related to C++ (Java’s syntax is derived from the C and C++ programming languages) yet it has a simpler object model. In contrast, C++ was considered to have certain complexities and when used bears more errors that cannot be fixed immediately.
Aside from the aforementioned disadvantages of C++ as the main programming language for a web-based game system, it also lacks the capability of programming distribution. James Gosling and his Sun colleagues want to develop a system that could be used on different platforms, that is from personal computer systems to hand-held digital devices.
Java became operational on web-based applications in 1994. Gosling felt that the Internet would become interactive soon, thus it is the environment that will work perfectly for their programming language.
And they have proven it right. Java is one of the popular and well-used platforms not just on web-based game systems but on other Internet-based applications as well.
Suddenly, many online game developers realized the potential of Java programming language with regards to the creation of web-based game systems. Although Shockwave replaced Java as the well-known platform for web-based game systems, Java is still the popular choice among web-based game developers. Java’s popularity increased with the Netscape’s decision of using the programming language with their net browsers.
Yahoo has been credited in terms of producing Java-enabled web-based games. In fact, they have allotted a portion of their website (which is the Yahoo Games) where the players can play Java-enabled games by themselves or with an online opponent. Most of Yahoo-produced games are Java applets, and some can be downloaded direct to your computer. There are reviews about Yahoo games where gamers can post their experiences and thoughts about Java-enabled games. Thus, Yahoo became one of the eminent promoters of web-based game systems that are produced using Java programming language. You name it; Yahoo got it—from sports to card games.
Despite of the popularity of Java as the main programming language for web-based game systems, there are still criticisms that arose. One is that Shockwave possess a 3D engine which is considered to be more powerful than the Java’s two-dimensional engine. Others have complains with regards to the “semi object-oriented programming language”. There are also game developers who found out that Java-enabled game system run slower on programs written using other programming languages.
Although there are complaints revealed concerning the use of Java, it is still the most popular programming language used for the creation and development of web-based game systems. Various innovations integrated with this programming language allow game developers to produce web-based games that are higher in quality and in graphical detail. Thus, with the sufficient knowledge and expertise in Java programming language, you will be able to arrive with a high quality web-based game system.

I headed out to the range today to practice the drills I’d been assigned in my last lesson at GolfTec. My focus has been my backswing: keeping it controlled, not turning too far back, keeping my lower body stable, and keeping my left arm straight and out away from my body. Focusing on all these aspects at once and incorporating them smoothly into a swing is next to impossible. Assimilating tons of corrections at once has to be one of toughest parts of being a beginners, when just about everything about the swing needs to be fixed. Following are some of the drills my instructor gave me to help with this challenge:
• Making “L’s” with the arms/wrist at the back of the backswing, and again at the front of the swing. This has helped quite a bit, especially when I remember to make a deliberate effort to include it in my backswing.
• One-handed swings with the right and left hands separately. This is done with the gripping hand choked up with the index finger touching the metal past the grip. There should be “L’s” at the back and front of the swing and the idea is to get a sense of how the forearm rolls over through the swing in a natural motion. This did help me get a feel for what the right swing should feel like naturally, with both arms completing this motion in tandem. I struggled to do this while I was focusing on L’s on the backswing and keeping my left arm straight. Maybe just too many things to remember at once.
• Stopping the back swing when arms reach perpendicular around waist level, then resuming the back swing in a controlled manner to the top and finishing the swing as normal from there. This is supposed to help keep you from going too far on the backswing and preserve the power of your swing. I felt a stronger “wind up” at the end of the swing that should translate into more power. This also ties into keeping the lower body stable – in my case, not letting my hips turn practically 90 degrees on the backswing. However, I found that breaking up my swing made it hard to make good contact with the ball. I messed up most of the shots I attempted with this, but I recognized the body position I was supposed to learn, I think.
My takeaway from all this… golf is going to be a lifetime pursuit, and I have nowhere to go but up.

Last week the Avery Lady Vikings held its summer Volleyball Camp. The four-day event was developed by Lady Vikings volleyball coach Kim Hayes as an opportunity for elementary, middle, and high school girls to receive specialized volleyball skills training close to home without the high costs of larger team camps and traveling expense.
The camp was the largest attended single camp for students in the county this summer, as approximately 55 girls ranging from third grade through high school senior took the floor in Viking Gym to improve their skills and learn from former players and expert instructors.
ve had around 26 girls come out for the morning camp for third through eighth grade, and we had high school sessions in the afternoon and evening, with around 28 for those sessions. Its been so exciting and every single kid who has been at this camp has worked their butt off, Coach Hayes said during one of the sessions.
Directing the weeks camp was Fish Gupton, former regional and district championship head volleyball coach at Virginia High, Coach Hayes college coach where he restarted the Lees McRae College volleyball program, and is currently a national referee who officiates matches for the Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference, Atlantic 10, Southern, and Big South Conferences.
Fish has done a terrific job. He was the first coach to recruit me, and he is so knowledgeable about the sport. He just knows more than me and has been absolutely terrific, Coach Hayes added. This has been terrific for the girls because at some point during the week of camp he took time to stop for individual work with every single kid.
For Gupton, it was an easy decision to accept Coach Hayes invitation to help the Avery volleyball program through the camp.
Kim played two years for me at Lees McRae before going to Appalachian State, and she is one of those athletes who would do anything you asked them to do, Gupton remarked during a drill. When you have a bond with your athletes, you want to do anything to help them, so when she contacted me to tell me she was back in coaching and wanted to organize the camp I told her that I would be glad to help her.
Girls participating in the camp were well versed in a number of drills, with emphasis placed on running offense, transition from offense to defense, and placing the ball effectively without utilizing a one-hit style of play.
This week we wanted to break down every skill into its parts and put it back together, and there has been great improvement in the players from the first day through the end of camp, Gupton stated. re teaching footwork, approach, reach, and hitting, and we wanted to instill confidence in these girls that they can win a conference championship and compete for a state championship.
Overall the week was a productive camp and the camps director strongly believes it will serve as a valuable building block when the high school players prepare for the upcoming fall volleyball season beginning with tryouts this week. These girls have a great coach who knows what she is doing, and the players know that they have the opportunity to make a state championship, Gupton explained. It is a lot of fun to come back to this camp. I have great respect for Kim and she has always shown the same to me. It is great to work again with Kim and with the athletes here at Avery.
