[quote]I just noticed an irretating thing >:(. in the root of my c: harddrive I found this directory “_NanoMachinez_Cache”. You should at least put any data like this in the users home directory, which you find with System.getProperty(“user.home”).
[/quote]
well… you’re right. seems like i didn’t spent too much thinking on that. sorry for that. i will change it in the next days if i can find some time.

#42

the cached files are now put into the user’s home dir.
btw. a new track is online! 8)

#43

you can now view the lap and race records on a new highscores page.
thx to all who played NanoMachinez and made the highscore list become longer and longer.

#44

You might have all the other records, but I just made a new one, at least!

19.017 ah-yeah this!
(track: Chicanery, vehicle: hovercraft) 8)

#45

…but, it displayes your name on top, even though your record is older than mine. Better watch that bro! :-/

#46

sorry, but i’m not able to reproduce that error.
… and btw. i’ve beaten your record. :stuck_out_tongue:

I cannot run this game under JDK 1.5 RC1 (and I’m not able to use earlier JDK for applets in mozilla - plugin panel seems to detect only 1.5 installed ???). In console, I can see the following error:

hmm … strange error. it works fine with my mozilla firefox 0.9 and jdk 1.4.2_05.

btw. a new vehicle is online. it is the first vehicle not created by a NanoMachinez team member.

#49

I suppose that JDK 1.5 has changes some internals of com.sun.media.sound.AbstractLine - and it seems that NonoMachinez use that class. Bad, bad…

#50

do you have any suggestions for a workaraound?
… something that works with 1.4.2_x and 1.5?

#51

Use LWJGL for your sound :slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

#52

ahh, one more thing where i have absolutely no knowledge about. and the collision detection and handling is still not working properly …
so much to do, so less time … :frowning:

#53

i’ve added track and vehicle ratings. and since so many guys told me that they closed the browser window because only “loading data…” is displayed and “nothing happended”, i’ve added a loading progress bar too…

#54

a new space track is online! 8)

the graphics are really awesome. thx to gue who did a great job!

i’m planning to add gravity forces to the two planets which will affect the spaceship’s movements. harr

#55

why don´t u release the source code?

#56

I think that u should share your knowledge!

#57

i’m not completely happy with the way the code is written. it was one of these projects where i just started coding not knowing how many features i want to put into the game. the result is that the code is now really ugly.
so the reason why i don’t release the sources is just because it’s embarassing for me. :-[

#58

ok,I just wanna know how did u build the game because it is very nice I like it very much, it remembers me MicroMachines and I would like to make a similar game

#59

i’m glad to help you with specific problems. but i don’t think it’s a good idea if you design your code the way i did. i’m sure you can do better. at least you should … :wink:

#60

I just wanna get your source code as a starting point.
