ok, here is a tennis game with a realistic game play. The controls are quiet complex but if u play long enough u get the hang of it. A real tennis fan like me would apreciate it.
Moving: J, K, I, L
Hitting ball: A,S,D (forehand is when the ball hits yo rocket when u begin yo swing, backhand is when u end yo swing. A is shortest, D is the longets hit)
Serving/receive serve: H
Switching rockets: Space Bar

applet resolution: 1000 x 700

EDIT: forgot to tell u: the blue circle marks the quadrant where u should serve or where the opponent will serve. if u press H and nothing happens u should move behind the baseline or to the opposite side of the serving quadrant (or u could read about tennis rules on the internet).

I’m not a tennis fan, but this was alright… when I could get it to serve the ball. You need to also distribute this better. It took me awhile to figure out that this was an applet, so I had to make my own HTML code to run it. Not something most people know, so I suggest you do so and distribute a ZIP file with the HTML file and class file. Also, I wouldn’t really say it has “realistic game play.” I don’t think a game like this would appeal to most general gamers, however. First and far most, the controls are pretty weird.

that’s great

Yeah, your biggest weakness is your support. Took my a while to get it up and running and then took me a while to serve and figure out the controls. But I like it, overall.

Added webpage to run the applet.
