"A long time ago".. Short story of a vintage software

About the project

Java The Hutt is a quiz desktop game, multiplatform and freeware, developed by a passionate fan of the movie series.

Everything started in 2001 as a prototype to test various technologies and programming libraries and was completed in middle 2002. The software was never released until today, after a minimal maintenance to make it compliant with the modern computers.

The game mechanics are similar to those of a well-known television show, with some differences, like skip in place of switch and the presence of count-down timers. Other features were designed considering a future development of some interactivity, like a public leaderboard that could be integrated in the next future.

The aim is to give new life to this project with future content updates and release of new features, mantaining the vintage look that sets this software apart.

Losing at this game? You tell that slimy piece of ridden filth, he'll get no such pleasure from me. And don't tell me the odds, I don't need them.

Finally I can relax for a moment. It's still free of charges, even after almost twenty years of hibernation. I love it.
