Woogley made a good suggestion to me while we were playing IsOlation. The rules should be that you can enter as many entries as you want but can only take one place (i.e. 3rd, 4th or 5th but not all 3)

That seems very fair to me.

A snippet from the source:

      BufferedImage o, q;
      Graphics r;
      File a;
      String e;
      boolean u, d, g;
      byte x, y, m = 1, s;
      int w, b;
      byte[] c, f = new byte[384];
      byte[][] n

And this, my friends, is why God invented Obfuscators/Class Optimizers. Trying to manually figure out those names is mind-boggling. ;D

Weisi: Any chance we could get a 1.4 compile? :slight_smile:

And comments :p    I found that using logical letters (e.g. 'l' for lives) and comments made it readable enough without the need for an obfuscator.

Why would you want to avoid using an obfuscator?

:-/

Sorry this is probably a daft question (seeing as every one else has manged it ???) but how do I go about posting an official version of Chopper4k for the competition? I have a few small tweaks to do before I can call it an entry but it is mostly there.

Cheers,
Dan.

#128

Just post references to it here and on the JDC forum thread (see top of this thread for a reference).

Yes, I updated the jar.

So, I also made an applet version (needs at least Java 1.1, so if you have an IE without the new Java VM it should run too).

Grid Runner X -

http://www.cokeandcode.com/games/4k/grx/grx.jar

Main-Class: G

Incidently, Markus, make a webstart… as long as the standalone jar version remains under 4k does it really matter that the signed version shoots over the limit?

Hi
I would like to submit my game:

http://www1.freeweb.hu/danieleff/territory4k.html

#134

I was thinking about the java.util.jar.Pack200 class, which is part or the JRE.

It could be possible to create a ClassLoader class using Pack200 to load a class from the contents of the game jar :

Game Jar = Loader.class + data (data = set of classes in Pack200 format)
Loader.Main : adds a class loader to the thread and starts the game
Loader.findClass() : implement classloading from JarEntries

This would allow us to store more classes in less space, without needing extra unpacking stuff on the server.

Has anyone already prospected in that direction ?

Game list updated (now with 33 games!). I apologize for the late update, I had the flu this weekend so I obviously couldn’t get around to it on time :stuck_out_tongue:
