Request Mac/Linux test on Applet

Networking & Multiplayer
#1

Hi peeps. Slicks is slowly chugging along, and I’d like to hear if it’s Mac compatible.

http://test.digitalfootmark.com/slicks/applet/test.html

Other critique is welcome too - some things i’m doing this week still:

  1. ‘loading’ graphic turning wheel or something in the first black splash
  2. similar when transitioning from track select to race.

Cheers! P.S, if it doesn’t run on Mac, please please give me a trace on what is wrong, or the last line of successful sys.out from the console…

hmm sort of wrong category atm but the intention is for it to be working online 1 vs 1 soonish…
still working on the lobby and server code though.

Everything seems to work except the sound. I get the following excerpt from the Java Console:

Sweet! I really like the responsiveness of the car. Very cool! Making it online would be great!

#4

thanks elias, working on that darn jarnbjo linkup. Will try to get it cleaned up soon.
EDIT: added Throwable as Matzon suggested, should keep loading past the sounds now… i think… hard to test.
That bug comes in Windows browsers as well, when they are doing the nightly build i guess.

#5

Soon to be released, any more Macintosh / Linux users who could tell me if it’s working or not?

The FullScreening is a bit buggy, not going to release this version but the one with decorations in place.

#6

Everything runs really nice and smoothly (Ubuntu 8.10).

On startup there is one exception:

So it is (?) automagically detecting os, i hope.

It uses os.family, os.arch and os.name to provide you the good native libraries.
