Java 2 Game Programming by Thomas Petchel - applet not loading

Java 2D
#1

has anyone read chapter 10 from the book Java 2 Game Programming" by Thomas Petchel?

if so, can he/she help me out with the ActorTest applet???

it starts loading (the circle going round and round) but never completes loading

#2

I have not read it, but are you getting any output in the java console?

#3

this is the message on the Java Console (after 15 minutes of loading…)

Loaded image: file:/…/robot_north.gif
Loaded image: file:/…/robot_south.gif
Loaded image: file:/…/robot_east.gif
Loaded image: file:/…/robot_west.gif
Loaded image: file:/…/stile.gif

does it make any sense the fact that it starts loading but never finishes?
i have left the browser for like an hour, still the circle going round and round…
shouldn’t there be some kind of message?

#4

I would have expected a message of some sort. You could try and up the logging level in the console and maybe post the code so we can see what you are trying to do.

#5

i am not sure if i can up the code (due to legacy issues)

a moderator could help here…

though i could make a simplified version?? cutting out all the code that (i think) is not relative

(i am not trying to do anything, the code isnt mine, i only want to see the result of the code of the book… next guy who tells me “i wanna get into java game programming” i am sending him straigth here, though the level is pretty high, reading off books with bad code is even worse of an option)

edited: so untill i get an ok from a moderator to upload the code, or tell me to upload a simplified version i stand still
thank you for your willingness
