Title: Tiny Rimscape update (new screenshot)

No, the game isn't quite dead yet though progress on coding the new interface has been slow due to other projects.

Here's a shot of how it's looking:

The various status bars can be set to be color coded if the player wishes.

Rimscape is a multiplatform 2d space combat and trading game. Players can choose from a wide variety of spacecraft, weaponry, and upgrades as they explore a generated galaxy.

Standard? (i.e. not via the wrapper Java3D API)

Standard, easier to port.

Interesting.  I was working with Swing/AWT on a previous thing, but it's too damn slow.

Actually; are you not using some form of binding like JOGL or GL4Java?

Different mesh and texture than the BWO head. :)

But both textures are based on the same photos.
