TanarusShields
Developed in Java - 2010
This app is my attempt at recreating the famous shield shifting pattern in one of my favorite games (and one of the very first multiplayer games on the internet), of all time called Tanarus. I made this after Sony Online Entertainment decided to get rid of the game because of compatability issues with Windows Vista and 7 (bummer).
BUT, the code was given to my good pal who's making a replica of the game as we speak. Note. This is a pretty old version. I'll have to look for and find the newest one which is much better.
After hitting "Apply", Q shifts shields forward, E shifts shields backwards and space mimics a tank firing at your shields, so you can gauge how the shields work in combat :).
Note: The programming for this thing is pretty complex. It uses a shift queueing mechanism, is multi-threaded, and has several delay timers used to manage how the shields work. Pretty nifty replica. Shield caps and all :).
