Great,

Thanks for the info!

Another question.  Is there a JRE 1.5 for macs?

Sorry, I'm not sure where else to post this...


What's better style/efficiency?

import javax.swing.*;

or....

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

Hey,

Nah, I wish.  That's my problem with games / GUI programming.  I like the programming but can't do the graphics.  I got it from a free desktop wallpaper website.

DAM

Wow, thanks for all the advice....


getClassLoader() has been added
Re-inserted the proper line into the JNLP file.

Clear the file from your cache and try again!

Thanks again!

I just removed it...  is that what you mean?



I thought I ffixed that.... Any more suggestions Cas?

Thanks for the idea.

As it stands, they reset every time you die.

Thanks for trying it.

For JSE2 (1.5):
http://bookexchange.rh.rit.edu/games/avalanche.jnlp

Any suggestions on how to convert this to 1.4??  I have certain syntax (list templates) that won't be recognized in 1.4.

(Thank you all for the help!)

Cas,

You got it on the nose!

Thanks so much!!

I wish I could say this game was worth all the help!   ;)Hahaha

Wow, thanks!

Already off to a great start  :D

I'm stuck - hahaha!

How do I modify the thing to get it to work with webstart.  At first glance this is what I have....

<? header ("Content-Type: application/x-java-jnlp-file"); ?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://bookexchange.rh.rit.edu/games" href="avalanche.jnlp">
     <information>
           <title>Avalanche!</title>
           <vendor>DAM</vendor>
           <homepage href="http://bookexchange.rh.rit.edu/games"/>
           <description>Avalanche</description>

           <property name="webstarted" value="true" />
           
     </resources>
     <application-desc main-class="Avalanche" />
</jnlp>

Not working though.  Any suggestions?? Tells me "nullpointer exception".  My game has NEVER reported that before and still doesn't when I play on my system.

Update: Says "can't load image."  Any generic reasons for that happening? Runs fine when compiled and ran on my machine.  Something to do with images in a jar??
Images are saved in their own folder and the whole folder is then moved over to the jar.

Thanks!

Only tried it on winXP Pro with J2SE.

Use the left and right arrow keys to manuver your character across the screen.  Try to avoid the falling fireballs for as long as you can.  The longer you last, the higher your score.

Extract the files and pull up your command line:

Command line: java Avalanche
