Now, don't get too excited - this isn't a game where you play pong with a cat - rather it's a simple bejewelled clone with an oriental kitty theme. I was hoping to get a few folks to test it with a view to seeing if the library code works properly on multiple platforms. More of a tech demo than a game I suppose, hence the category. For those that don't know bejewelled - swap over two jewels (kats in this case) by clicking on them to form a line of 3 or more. They disappear and you score points. Here's what it's meant to look like (if the colours are wrong on your platform or anything let me know).  Webstart is HereAs always I'm interested in any feedback, but especially any faults or oddities with the framework on specific platforms. Oh, and I probably win the award for most annoying sound effect ever  Kev |

Worked beautifully for me on Windows, only oddity was that the quit button doesn't quit.

Ah yes, I should have probably said, it's a trap to keep you in game! Muhahahahah - well, no it's quit the session you're playing, not the game, hit escape if you want to do that - but why would you want to? Thanks for trying. Kev |

Fine here on a windows box.
You know it looks like a polished Flash game, very impressive.

Another bit of a test here - the same game wrapped as an Applet. However, this uses the LWJGL Applet stuff (the beta 4 version) which still seems to fail on about 50% of machines. So before checking the following link - save everything you're doing, it's possible to crash browsers and hang systems: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/demos/applets/kitipong.htmlIf it works first time, try reloading the page. I'm really interested in seeing the success rate for different browsers and/or platforms. So, any daring tester much appreciated. EDIT: Works here on Win XP and Firefox 1.5 Kev |

Works fine the first time on windows XP with IE, java 6. I did get a Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException when I quit the window however. Just then I tried it again to test in a new window and I just got a white rectangle with the console spewing 3 of the same NPE's, the first of which was this: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-4" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.lwjgl.opengl.AbstractAWTInput.getWidth(AbstractAWTInput.java:90) at org.lwjgl.input.Mouse.poll(Mouse.java:345) at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$ContainerPanel.paintGL(AppletGameContainer.java:124) at org.lwjgl.opengl.AWTGLCanvas.paint(AWTGLCanvas.java:317) at sun.awt.RepaintArea.paintComponent(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.RepaintArea.paint(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.windows.WComponentPeer.handleEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) ibxm alpha 45 (c)2006 mumart@gmail.comKeith |

Applet version doesn't work for me  WinXp, Opera 7.5, Java 1.5. Is there some kind of error log anywhere that might be useful? It did "applet loading" for ages, which prompted me about 10 times to accept a certificate (which I did), then breifly flashed a green screen and half a sound effect before hanging on a grey screen. |

works great for me, except when I refresh. seems to be more of an lwjgl error than a slick error: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-3" java.lang.NullPointerException

Re: Opera - it uses its own Java plugin on the Sun one? The only place I've got output coming right now is the standard console - in Sun's Plugin on windows thats Right Click on System Tray Icon -> Open Console.
Thanks for the tests so far guys, the NPE in getWidth() I can simulate here - the not running at all I'm having trouble tracking down.
I find this LWJGL in an Applet stuff pretty exciting so I'm really keen to see where it is and isn't working right now. Could be a nice boon for having the demo of your game running in an applet before lettng them buy the "full" version via webstart.

I've never heard of Opera having it's own Java plugin, but then I've never really paid attention to it. I did look for the system tray icon, but it didn't appear. Worked fine in firefox though. |

I have tried hard at solving the issue - but I have no idea why opera fails - can't find any worthwhile logs either I'm guessing its their broken plugin interface. |

I once had the same bugs in Opera that I had in firefox on linux . The problem was the case-sensitivity of the image names.

No worries on that exception Endolf, just gonna have to live with that for a while. I didn't realise until now that applets that are reloaded can run in the same VM - interesting stuff. Orangy's messages about singletons and statics all come back with a sudden prominance! Lucky I listened the first time Kev |

Hmm, I upgraded to the latest Opera but still the same result it seems. Although I managed to find the java console (not sure if it's a new addition or I just missed it before) it doesn't have anything useful in it - in fact it doesn't have anything in it!
Is it possibly worth pestering the Opera people to see if you could track down the root cause?

works fine for me on Opera (version 9, Linux), but gives me a grey screen for about 3mins before it starts after which it runs fine. so is a bit borked but at least it runs.

same opera issues here. though after 5mins of gray screen.. it still doesnt start. this is a definite Opera-specific problem. they shouldn't wrap the Sun's VM in their funky stuff just to avoid Sun's UI and stuff it's bad enough they start their VM with <applet>, but what really stuck me as "tacky" is they also override the sun-specific <object> tags! anyway, opera needs to be contacted i think.. |
