Operating systems
simpleJ is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris. It might also work on other operating systems but we haven't tested it yet.
Note: All the links to simpleJ-1_1-setup.exe and simpleJ-1_1-install.jar on this page go to SourceForge.net which lets you select a mirror (a server) to download the file.
Source Code
If you only want the simpleJ source code then you can download simpleJ-1_1-src.zip.
To install simpleJ on Windows you need to download and open the simpleJ-1_1-setup.exe installer. Once you've done that you will be able to run the simpleJ virtual console, simpleJ devkit, simpleJ tileseditor, and simpleJ spriteseditor from the Window's start menu (the installer also gives you the option to create shortcuts to these programs on your desktop).
simpleJ is written in Java and it needs a Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 or newer (we recommend using 1.5) to run on your computer. The simpleJ-1_1-setup.exe installer automatically takes care of that for you. If you know you already have the right version of Java on your computer then you might prefer to download and open simpleJ-1_1-install.jar, it's a smaller download.
To install simpleJ on Mac OS X you just need to download and open the simplej-1_1-install.jar installer. Once you've done that you will have the simpleJ virtual console, simpleJ devkit, simpleJ tileseditor, and simpleJ spriteseditor in the simpleJ folder inside of Applications. If you wish you can drag them to the OS X Dock to make them easier to access.
