Runs fine on winXP with jre 1.4.2_03

Works on Linux, too.

Tried Ball Exchanger. Very nice game!
Works ok on winXP with JRE 1.4.1_01.

You might want to do something about the controls though, because it has a keyboard repeat issue (for example you hold left down, it moves a bit and only later when keyboard repeat kicks in it keeps moving until you release).
I think maybe controls might feel better if you keep track of the states of the key:

  • Set a flag for a key when that key is pressed.
  • Reset the flag when that key is released.
  • Check for the flags for each key to handle the controls instead of directly keyPressed/released events.
  • With for example left/right movement it also helps when pressing left or right, it cancels the flag for the opposite direction of the key you pressed so that left and right flags can never be set at the same time (like a joystick).

Keep it up!

Oh and make the music stop when you leave the game (when I close the IE window, music keeps playing). :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve now improved keyhandling, and fixed the music stop problem.
thanks for testing.

Worked great for me on OS X 10.3
