    well this is what foobar2000 looks only uses 42MB of RAM it goes down to 5MB when minimized :P

    small question, can this theme applied to any GTK+ program? I mean in Java if theme is there you can simply apply the theme to any java program with only 1 line of coding. Is something like that possible in GTK+?

    I agree, however I did not said that Java can be used to 3D game programming. But java can be used to program wide range of applications including one's with open GL support. Thanks for showing the foobar 2000 player.

    :) foobar2000 only plays audio but its the best there is ...built on MS C++ ..they've used the newest packages but they've not used the .NET stuff

    Initializing OpenGL is a good thing if that can be done other 3D apps will follow with that :) if directx can be initialized a few more games would follow too

    The good thing they've just left the code as it is.. after installing you can just explore the game directory and all the coding is there!!

    This is a 1st person shooter man!!! People talk about CRYSIS being successful as a game and its features like being invisible, strength etc. this is the game as far as I know which incorporated those features way before CRYSIS!!

    Nice game.. there was a second part too in this game called "Opposing Force", I heard the news that the Chrome 2 going to be released this year.. can't wait!!

    Java is not mainly used for gaming and stuff, because C++ is more faster than JAVA ppl use C to programs games , since JAVA is a Oo programming language u could develop games and stuff but there are other things that Java can be used for like chip programming....
