Product Information


This JAVA application is part of a complete suite of Java tools for creation of pure JAVA multimedia applications and adventure games.

This HotSpot Editor is the first JAVA application written for the suite.

The editor was originally written for JAVA 1.02 and with AWT.

The first public release was a port to JAVA 1.1, disabling the binary HotSpot generator and inserted a primitive HTML ImageMap generator. Nothing fancy!

The HotSpot Editor will in future versions require a minimum of JAVA 1.16 and Swing 1.01 and will be based on the common JAVA classes written for the suite.
