Geertjan Wielenga Video: Update Space Invaders Game While Playing It
Email
In this video, Allan Gregersen from the University of Southern Denmark shows a space invaders game written for the Java desktop. As he plays the game, he enhances it with new features. How? Via his "Javeleon" (Java chameleon), which enables you to change and extend Java desktop applications via dynamic updates to existing features. Read an interview with Allan all about Javeleon here.
Also seen in the video is Fabrizio Giudici, NetBeans Dream Team member, programmer, blogger, and conference speaker. The above video can also be viewed here on YouTube and here on Blip.tv.

NetBeans has been missing a space invaders plugin for years. Any way to get that integrated in the IDE anytime soon? Please, please...

IMHO, is is definitely worthwhile to propose a game distribution on top of NetBeans.
See my post Why not a game distribution on top of NetBeans or Eclipse ? http://www.jroller.com/dmdevito/entry/why_not_a_game_distribution
It would help the NetBeans platform to gain traction (to gain full traction, imho, it would be nice netbeans.org to provide such a distribution, or to host a dedicated update center).
Thanks!

Geertjan just published the Space Invaders game here
It's by no means a finished game. Have fun!
