Babal

Project status: no longer under development, but still playable and fun.
Developed: 2003

Babal is a simple 3-D game based on Babal for HP48 by U-Foot, which was my favorite HP48 game. You can play it in your browser window, or stand-alone. I created this to learn a bit about OpenGL and to experiment with writing a game using a scripting language (Python), and experiment with Jython for creating Java programs.

Note: you must have Java and JavaScript enabled to play this game in your browser.
