Finale Development

Finale Development is an up-and-coming developer that specializes in applications for the Amiga line of computers. From its flagship browser Finale Web Cruiser to the ClassAct GUI development environment, Finale Development is pushing the limits of software to new heights on the Amiga!

Please check our Press Release area for exciting Amiga show news!

This site is intended to offer you a method of gathering information and giving us feedback about the programs we develop along with a quick and easy way for you to download and try the programs we sell.

JAVA MOCA

MOCA is our innovative Java Virtual Machine for AmigaOS and pOS computers. MOCA’s heart is a powerful Just In Time (JIT) compiler that allows speeds up to 10x faster than a conventional Java Virtual Machine. MOCA also provides a full JDK 1.1 Application Programmers Interface with an AWT implementation based on our excellent BOOPSI development system ClassAct.

MoCA works both on Amigas and on pOS-based computers. The MOCA JIT compiler supports 680×0 and PowerPC-based computers.

JAVA for online gambling platforms

Java is a powerful and standardized programming language that can be read by any machine with Java installed. This makes it easy for online casino companies to build software that will work on any computer or operating system without issue.

Have you ever wanted to play a game of Blackjack or Roulette without downloading any software? With casino websites powered by Java, it’s possible! Sites offering casino bonuses Canada are designed for the convenience and ease that comes from playing games straight through your browser. No downloads necessary means less time lost on pesky installation procedures!

Information about Java and Java VM’s:

Java consists of two parts: a high-level object-oriented programming language, comparable to C/C++, and a low-level virtual machine. A Java compiler turns the Java language into so-called “Byte code”. This byte code is very comparable to machine code, except that it is made to be executed on a virtual CPU, the “Java Virtual Machine”. Every computer that is equipped with such a Java Virtual Machine can run Java programs. Most JVMs these days are implemented as software emulators; hardware implementations are slowly becoming available though.

MOCA is a software implementation of a Java Virtual Machine. What MOca does can be compared with what a PC emulator does – it emulates the Java ‘CPU’. Anyone who has ever used a PC emulator knows how slow these are. Emulation is a slow process. Java byte code, being a very special kind of machine language, allows re-compilation though. Instead of emulating the code, MOCA converts it to native machine code with a powerful optimizing JIT compiler.

JIT stands for Just In Time, meaning that MOCA does not waste time converting Java byte code that will never be executed. Instead, the code gets converted at the moment that it is first executed.

ClassAct – Amiga user interface KIT

ClassAct is a set of BOOPSI classes co-authored by Christopher Aldi, Timothy Aston, Osma Ahvenlampi, and Petter Nilsen.

ClassAct provides object-oriented building blocks for your application in the form of Intuition BOOPSI classes. As they are standard classes, they may be used with any application environment supporting BOOPSI. ClassAct is a complete GUI system in its own right, supporting everything from simple buttons to an advanced list management class, and includes a complete GUI layout gadget class, arexx class, and window class.

ClassAct user interfaces are font-adaptive and dynamically resizable. Like any modern GUI, the ClassAct layout engine does not use fixed coordinates, but instead hierarchical groupings. The layout engine supports not only gadgets within its group, but images and even other layout groups as well.

Programs that use ClassAct can be made freely distributable, shareware, commercial, etc. There is no fee for your users!. When you purchase the ClassAct development kit license, users of your software get to use all the functions of our classes. ClassAct is not only a powerful and time-saving choice for software developers but an affordable and convenient one as well.

ClassAct is an expanding project, providing you with all the graphical user interface tools you need to write your application. Currently, there are over 25 different classes, and this list is growing all the time!

ClassAct requires at least Workbench 2.04, and will take advantage of higher OS versions if available.

ClassAct development kit supports SAS/C, Dice, and AmigaE.
