A dozen stupid games!

Small bug: the Shoot as many balls as you can in 20 seconds doesn’t reset the score :slight_smile:
So after 3 games I’m the #1

#22

Cool games, very well done!

So who’s the joker that java.awt.Robot-pwned Idiot? I’d know it was someone from these forums, fess up already!

#23

I corrected that bug. You deserve to be #1 forever.

He is a friend and comes from Finland. I can swear he does not know what a awt.Robot is. :wink: Must be pure stupidity then.

#24

LOL Shoot is impossible I can only get 39

#25

The balls game crashed on me, I was standing right on top where a green would spawn, and when it spawned it just quit.

My best on react was 0.231

#26

hello again,

added ‘Old Surehand’, improved some games, added some fluff like sparcles to some, a fireworks demo and oldschool-rotating-balls!
In-game notification if you made a new highscore.

You can finish ‘Old Surehand’ in 2-3 minutes, so please give it a try :slight_smile:
Oh, and I doubled the seconds you have in ‘Shoot’. I think the next game will be something like P.O.W. which will replace ‘Shoot’ anyway.

Man I got to 1000 on the coin thing and then there was an error:


ConcurrentModificationException
kdk.h.d.a(kAi:51)
etc.

You should make it copy/pastable.

[EDIT] Wow. I was at 8000 and then it broke again. Grrrr… This sucks.

#28

I keep trying to but the game keeps crashing. Alas…

I will try to reproduce it. Maybe the cause is an unknown awt.Robot-detection feature for java.awt.Robot-pwned Idiots. (just joking)

#30

I wasn’t able to reproduce the bug yet (I tried several times with a robot >10000 points), but encountered that bug a while ago in another game… and wonder why, because I just use one thread. I put a try/catch around it, hope it helps.

What do you mean with copy/pastable? Pop up a txt window? If you mean that I shouldn’t obfuscate it, it halves the file size and I still get the line numbers. If an error occurs it should be sent to the server, apparently it does not work ATM

#31

That exception isn’t caused by threading always. It’s often if you try to add an object to a list while you’re interating over it:


ArrayList<Person> people= new ArrayList<Person>();
Person you = new Person("You");
people.add(new Person("Me"));
people.add(new Person("Them"));

for (Person person : people)
{
     people.add(you);
}

(or equally with old iterators)

#32

Yeah, I’ve gotten the problem from going through a linked list while I was removing stuff from it.

like:


public void removeUseless(LinkedList l)
{
     for (Iterator i = l.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
     {
          Object o = i.next();
          if (o.isLame())
               i.remove();
     }
}

That was the first and only time I’ve encountered concurrent modification exceptions.

Anyway, I meant a text box just so I can select the bug and paste it in the forum to help you out.

#33

Thanks, exactly that was the cause. The mentioned exception in ‘Balls’ a few posts above should be history now, too.
Edited the game description for Surehand:
follow the dot! 8 levels pure fun. [warning: game is frustrating and makes aggressive]

#34

I added ‘Shoot2’, changed the visual design and switched from Thread.sleep(1) to Thread.yield() on multicores, that made it a lot smoother. :slight_smile:
