For those that do implement java controls with their byond games, which is plenty, it would be nice if we could award a medal using Java, or, if not, just greater integration in general.

Since medals are apparently mostly on the hub-side, it shouldn't take too much hassle to work with.

And since Dantom seems to be updating byond lately with some new JavaScript integration, it would be nice to further extend on that with things like java-awarded medals. I'm sure everyone could find a use in this feature.

Spunky_Girl	I thought Dan was no longer a BYOND Staff?

Nadrew	What's stopping you from doing this now? You can use javascript to call byond://? links which will call Topic() which you can use to award medals.

TheMonkeyDidIt	Just to note: I believe you meant JavaScript everywhere you wrote simply Java. Those are two fairly different languages.

Nadrew	Yes, that's how my Window Manager library works (hub://Nadrew.WindowManager) it loads some javascript into a hidden browser element which in turn calls BYOND functions when various actions occur.
