************************************ An Exact "Tailgunner" Port to Java ************************************ About This Program This is an exact Java port of the arcade game Tailgunner, which was originally written by Dan Sunday of Vectorbeam in 1979. The Java version was created by translating the Tailgunner program code, originally written for Cinematronics' proprietary C-CPU, to Java. This translation was made by a static binary recompilation program by Graham Toal. Norbert Kehrer ported the translated code to Java and wrote the graphics and user interface functions. Installing the Program on Your Website or on Your PC Installation is very easy. Just copy the two files - Tailgunner.jar - Tailgunner.html to a directory on your site or on your PC and view Tailgunner.html with your Java-enabled web browser. Source Code The full java source code and the sound files needed are included in this distribution. You are welcome to improve on our code. Let us know of your efforts. You will find our email addresses on our web pages http://web.utanet.at/nkehrer/ and http://www.gtoal.com/. On Graham's site you can also learn more about static binary translation.
