Works fine on an AMD 1.4GHz (256MB RAM, 64MB GeForce 3, WinXP Pro)
One bug: after dying and respawning on level one*, this…err…red creature appeared. The sound it made shooting looped non-stop - even on the menu screen and after several restarts.
Other than that, it’s great!
*Yes, level one. No comment.
Worked great! Very nice game–I’ll be looking at these threads to learn more about the technology behind it.
Cool

Andrew - I forgot to put the OpenAL32.dll in the .jar zip! Whoops. The dll itself is at http://www.shavenpuppy.com/downloads/openal32.zip
Everyone else - please try the .JAR version (and grab the OpenAL dll while you’re at it - it goes in the same dir as A.F.) and get posting those exceptions! I’m desperate to find out where that NPE is coming from.

I too get the

I think you mean http://www.shavenpuppy.com/downloads/openal32.dll
Still no joy. Looks the same as cmfdobbie’s problem.

However, the openal test programs work. Although it took me ages. I kept getting NoClassDefFound, and eventually had to comment out the package statements to run the damn things. Grr. I think it has a grudge against me.
Hi there, I can’t start this game since Test 3
when I run, screen is more brightly but get back soon, and doent’t play without any message.
but I found something in my computer.
Actually, I have started making a game which uses LWJGL 0.5.
So, I can’t make it run on my computer by following codes. - this is sample code in NEHE ( It works window mode but Not in FullScreen)
DisplayMode[] modes = Display.getAvailableDisplayModes();
for (int i = 0; i < modes.length; i++) {
if (modes[i].width == 800 &&
modes[i].height == 600 &&
modes[i].bpp == 16) {
displayMode = modes[i];
break;
}
}
But I changed it to
DisplayMode[] modes = Display.getAvailableDisplayModes();
for (int i = 0; i < modes.length; i++) {
if (modes[i].width == 800 &&
modes[i].height == 600 &&
modes[i].bpp == 16 &&
modes[i].depth == 16 &&
modes[i].stencil == 0 &&
modes[i].alpha == 0) {
displayMode = modes[i];
break;
}
}
Finnally, I make it.
My spec is
AMD Duron 700, GeForce2MX400, 256MB.
If you can, please make it window-mode for me.
GAK! What happen to the mouse movement? I have to move the mouse about 4 feet to get across the screen now. This makes dealing with the menu very icky.
-> Options -> Mouse sensitivity 
tellamon, I’m afraid you’ll need to change your DisplayMode picking code. The modes returned by getAvailableDisplayModes() aren’t guaranteed to work, so try something like this:
{
DisplayMode[] modes = Display.getAvailableDisplayModes() ;
DisplayMode[] useful = new DisplayMode[modes.length] ;
int nUsefulModes = 0 ;
for(int i = 0 ; i < modes.length ; i++)
if(modes[i].width == 800 && modes[i].height == 600 && modes[i].bpp == 16)
useful[nUsefulModes++] = modes[i] ;
for(int i = 0 ; i < nUsefulModes ; i++)
{
try
{
Display.create(useful[i], true, "Window Name") ;
break ;
}
catch(Exception e) {}
}
if(Display.isCreated() == false)
throw new RuntimeException() ;
}
The screen will blink a few times as it tries various displays, then either succeed and continue or fail and throw an exception.
Ooops, I didn’t know them. Thank you!
Cas, any idea what’s going wrong on my machine? ??? More info for you:
EXE version:
Prints out “OpenAL 0.0” on the console.
Doesn’t produce any exceptions.
Last message on console is “Resetting feature: jelly_incursion”.
Reaches menu system, crashes on pressing New Game.
Sound plays when I enter the Options menu, and when I alter the volume slider!
JAR version:
Doesn’t print out an “OpenAL *” line.
Produces an OpenAL exception (details above).
No stdout messages between “Found OpenAL at ‘.\OpenAL32.dll’” and “Delete GL context”.
Doesn’t reach the menu system.
Sound system is a Yamaha DS-XG (built in). It passes all DirectSound and DirectMusic tests.
Finally, this version works on my Radeon9700pro/Win XP/Cat3.2 setup. It seems to ignore the 32bit-switch though (judging from the ugly banding i get here and there). But other than that, it works fine. It’s not my kind of game though.
Egon - 
Right then fearless testers, for those of you with the jar version and the OpenAL dll I have created a patch which is a delightfully small 1MB or so.
Unzip the patch, which has a new LWJGL dll in it too.
Run it like this:
java -Xincgc -cp patch.jar;AlienFlux.jar xap.Game
I think I’ve finally fixed it : Let me know how it goes. Egon - see if this new version takes any notice of 32 bit setting now.
Cas
Worse than before. 
Tells me I need a sound card, and leaves my screen looking rather brighter.

Try this new openal32.dll which you should have had all along except Brian gave me a duffer: (the git!)
http://www.shavenpuppy.com/downloads/OpenAL32.dll
This is different to the one that was up there before.

The zip-file is corrupt yada yada (downloaded it some seven times, tried with WinZip, WinRar) But it seems to work for Andrew?!? Can it be my aNTi-vIRUs? Usually not the case…

I think I’ve got the right files, but I get this exception.
