Too many people can't run Java programs off the web, and it's generally a hassle or an annoyance unless you're aware what's going on ahead of time. I expect to limit the use of Java on RinkWorks to the games, which would be primarily to eliminate the lag time between moves.

My bad - sorry. I meant, after you start implementing Java on this site. And, though you mean now to restrict it primarily to the games, we'll have to wait and see. After all, I was here back when RinkWorks was just a humour site, and then the Site Market Game came out and opened the doors to all kinds of games. So I wouldn't be entirely too certain about Java not impacting the site... you may well find that it has a place here after all.

On a different note - when you "Javaize" the games, will there be both Java and Non-Java versions? In the case of Enchanted Forest, will the scores go on the same high score list?
