Hi,
Ive added a few improvements to my CrashTV game…
Check it out here … http://www.students.ncl.ac.uk/chris.pook/uni.html
Any feedback greatly appreciated, especially the performance and your system specs. Ive been having timing problems on some systems.
Thanks
Chris
nice game but a little on the slow side, maybe its just my os, could be the timing issues u mentioned, i’m on linux!
Thanks for the quick reply…
Its linux Ive been having problems with. How slow exactly ?
Is it completely unplayable ?

no its pretty playable, just a little slow about 1/2 what it should be.
Are u using System.currentTimeMillis() for your timing?
if so thats your problem, and u’ll have problems on linux and mac, its just because System.currentTimeMillis() is’nt very accurate, if your using java 5 then you should use the new nano timer else you could try a native timer like the GAGETimer from http://java.dnsalias.com/!
No, what you mean is “you’ll have problems on windows”. It works correctly on mac and linux, and is broken on windows 
lol, yes ok its true, its the windows timer thats the problem! ;D ;D ;D
Right that might explain things…
Ill look in to a better timing mechanism.
Cheers
