OpenJill replace only this MS-DOS executable file. To work, OpenJill need all game file (*.vcl, *.sha…).

In 2011 a co-worker show me a game works under Android platform that he write. He say me “That is the futur ! Forget Delphi.”.
Yes, it's true. In my spare time, I wrote some program in Delphi.
He makes fun of me because Delphi is old technologie (but not death !).
I say “Ok, let me show that I can create a plateform game in Delphi from scratch without any help.” One year later, I show The Nuclear Caves game, a clone of “Crystal Caves” game, but wrote in Lazarus (a clone of Delphi).
The only problem is that the game store map level in own MS-DOS executable, I must recreate all graphic item. It's very long and I dislike this.

In summer of 2012, I discover the Modding Wiki website with many thing about the “Jill trilogy” game“.

I remember this game that took me long hour when I'm young. OpenJill project was born.

I decide to use Java plateform for this project cause I'm JEE developper and I never use GUI librairy like AWT or Swing.
