Most recent games in the Javak4K 2008 Competition:

Just a little typo there: Javak4K

The color scheme induces a kind of psychedelic glare that could be super effective in the wee hours of the morning when you've had too much caffeine .

In regards to the applet comment... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't their a JNLP tag to have webstart launch an applet from a page as if it was an application? that could be a temporary bridge between an actual page embedding the applets..

You mean this?

Thanks for the comments, I'll try to add those features and make those fixes

Look forward to see your "applet smooth starter" sample. A generic thing like that is something that is needed badly. Especially if it can be "wrapped around" a normal applet. Would be really helpful in evening out the flash/java war (if we even have one, maybe create one).

Real tiny issue: The history looks better, but is still not quite accurate. It should say that woogley took over after two years (I think). In either case, the hosting on JavaUL wasn't until 2004-2005 and the first contest ran 2002-2003, so 2003-2004 has to be in there somewhere.

Any input is welcome, I will make revisions as I learn more. I'm constantly making tiny revisions here and there, so none of the text is engraved in stone.

I guess I'll have to join. =)

I better announce the winner then, competition over


Looks like we already have a few great games, going to be a good year, I'm pleasantly surprised!

[Morre]

Right then. And the winner is Markus! Congratulations

I've been writing on that wiki article too, and I think it was (kev?) who wrote something as well. :>

Thanks for that wiki... hadn't seen it before

Sweet!

I just wanted to mention the "DL's" (downloads) counter.

It only "ticks" once per user session per game, so it prevents someone clicking multiple times on the link to raise the counter like used to be the case at javaunlimited. So hopefully this number should be more representative of how many people actually played the game, but it of course can't detect if people empty cookies or close browser (at least not yet!).
