It took a bit of tender-loving-care, but I’ve got it imported into Eclipse, compiling, running against <a href="http://pickled.netrek.org" class="">pickled.netrek.org</a>, and _almost_ playable. Github repository is <a href="https://github.com/netrek/JTrek" class="">https://github.com/netrek/JTrek</a> Check the releases section for the latest prebuilt runnable jar file.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The most visible problem right now is that all mouse clicks are torpedo clicks. Laser or change-direction are not recognized (I think option-click worked for lasers though). I’m confident I’ll have the mouse issues knocked out in a couple days (I’m not actually a Java programmer, this is a learning exercise for me).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s a screenshot: <a href="https://postimg.cc/PNqxYcz1" class="">https://postimg.cc/PNqxYcz1</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ll update and announce more widely once I have it more playable.
