Pac-Man Game Demo-ed in JavaOne

JavaOne Speaker Stephen Chin told me that he demo-ed my Pac-man game in two of his sessions. Though I didn't attend the JavaOne event, I was happy to learn that the game was a huge hit in his sessions.

The game he showed on JavaOne was a WidgetFX widget that I wrote to answer Jim Weaver's challenge. He asked me to write a widget before the J1 event. Stephen even promised to show it on the stage if I could finish in time. I think it was fun so I gave it a try. The APIs of WidgetFX was simple to use so I finished the widget in just 2 days. Thanks Steve for showing it on the big stage.
