Java

Today I installed Java (which is free) and created my hello-world app (newbie tip: a "hello world" program is the simplest possible program, which simply displays a message chosen by the programmer and contained in the "hello world" program).

I like Java and I'm going to use it instead of Python to develop Vecset for Windows. Vecset will not run under Linux and will not run on the XO Laptop. Vecset will be closed source, not open source.

If Vecset is successful, I hope to sign up at least 1000 paying members/gamers, each of whom pays $15/year, and at least 200 paying members/developers, each of whom pays $30/year: gross income = $21,000/year or $1750/month.

Only gamers who are members can own real estate in Vecset World, and only game developers who are members can have customizable game rooms, located in the game building of their choice (game developers who are not members get the default game room in the default game building). Gamers who are members can store stuff, such as game-related info, in their virtual homes.

Anyone can roam the streets, buildings, and game rooms of Vecset World, logged on as a guest. Also, guests can kibitz games in progress. To play a game, you must register first, entering your name, email address, and screen name. You don't need to download anything to play games, as all games run in your web browser. To create games, you must download the Vecset IDE (game editor).
