I had to take a shot at it;

Kill pedestrians by getting close to them and hitting the space bar.
Get near a car and hit space to steal it.
Hit space to abandon a car.

Have fun! (tip: The cop car is by far the best  )

There's 10 targets & you win if you kill them all - it's not easy!

Pretty impressive. Glad someone will be giving Markus a run for his money this year.

Cool game.
I found the controlling a little hard to get use too.
Maybe make it the cops have to stop you for 1 second or so to bust you.
I some how exited a car and got stuck a wall.

I would like to see the red guys fight back or somehow better then normal guys.
Guns?

This is awesome! I only stood a chance after I stole one of the cop cars 

"Winner!" $128 

I guess the police cars follow a set of waypoints dropped behind the path of your car?
I did a few laps of the city edge clockwise, then turned around and did a few laps counter-clockwise driving on the opposite pavement(sidewalk). Cops were just ignoring me =]

True. Life's worth more than that... You now get $10 for a passerby & $100 for a target.

*handy tip* kill the nearest pedestrian, wait for the cops then steal their car! Instant transport! 

EDIT: Wow - I forgot Riven's pack200 utility - 230 bytes saved!

Hi SimonH,

Wow, that is amazing.
Interesting to see what you can do with the remaining 230 bytes !!!

M.E.

I got in a car and somehow popped inside of a building at the same time and couldn't get out. The police continuously circled the building, but were unable to get me, mwhaha.

Runs well for me.  Very nicely done.  I find the cars react well to my controls, it is only my bad play that makes me lose.

haha, this is awesome and addicting .

would be cool to continue this past the 4k limit.

Wow, this really has that GTA feel.  I was doing Ok, splatting my marks then had a head on with a police car 
The frame rate was Ok (but not completely smooth) on this laptop (Core 2 Duo, but integrated graphics).
I might have to play again in a minute.

No sure but I found it a lot easier now, I hardly saw any cops. I won with $1880.

Actualy, I was wondering exactly the same thing today.

When I tested locally, I found that renaming the archive (to from xx.jar to xx.jar.gz in your <applet> tag) did not work..

However the below worked..  Except that it doesnt work if the L.jar file is not in the same directory (which brings me to think its not actually looking at the L.jar.gz version at all).. Hopefully some kind soul can clarify.

<applet archive="L.jar.gz" code="l.class"   width="800" height="550">
   <PARAM NAME="java_arguments" VALUE="-Djnlp.packEnabled=true" />
   <PARAM NAME="cache_archive" VALUE="L.jar" />
</applet>
