The Tome, The Java Game Tome is ONLINE!

Google for it and enjoy.

Must wash eyes.
Soap. Soap. SOOOOOAAAAPPPP!!!

How about a permanent login? I am aware it’s quite annoying if you have your comment gone…

In regards to image linking. I am not actually displaying the linked images on the tome (they rather behave like a regular link), so that should be OK?

And in regards to the “Play” button being to small (and other stuff), give me some more time to fix.

… and we have 10 games now ;D

Permanent login is a very good idea. You have that check box already, but it seems to log you out very quickly.

Yeah, i lost a post due to being logged out aswell. I think finding a solution to this should have very high priority :slight_smile:
Also a sidenote: Does all games start with 1 vote?

OK, let me add the permanent login. Right now the session times out after 30 minutes or so.

No. Some of you guys and myself went ahead started to vote. The rating is displayed after 5 votes (exception the ranking on the side).

Although I agree that the header image is insanely complex, I have to say that most of the site looks very nice, and that most of the information is presented in a clear way to the public. I have submitted my game, hope it will get accepted :slight_smile:

Is there a way that you can track times people have played a game? I’m curious.

Got it! I will rework the header (in time). Also, right now there is no tracking of how many times people clicked on the “Play” link. I put it onto the to do list.

All games Java will be accepted. The “moderation” is simply to prevent spam from entering the games list…

I finished the auto-logon functionality! Also I added an RSS game feed ;D

You added some ads too… Now I understand what you meant by “somewhat different from you had in mind”, you were right.

You need to stop making this public. You have a disagreement with kingaschi you can take it up with him privately. Don’t start hijacking threads and try to tarnish what is being done. It has all been argued before and no one wants to hear it anymore.

The tome now features a hit + play counter. You can use it to monitor how many people view the game info page and how many people click the play link ;D

And yeah, feel free to also submit games :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for info …

Hi!

I’m sorry, I don’t want to annoy anyone. I tested the game xpDiplomacy 4.1 a few minutes ago and it doesn’t work under Linux. I get the following exception:

I submitted a bug report on sourceforge.net for this project. This game is looking for swt-win32 that can’t be found under Linux of course. Then, please could you update the list of supported operating systems by this this game?

I think it is very easy to fix, I looked at the JNLP file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> xpDiplomacy Tel Aviv University xpDiplomacy - a java version of the famous diplomacy board game xpDiplomacy - a java version of the famous diplomacy board game

As you can see, nothing allows to deploy SWT in this file. An example of JNLP file to deploy SWT under Windows and Linux at least can be found on the website of IBM.

I assume that the game installation under Windows and Mac with this JNLP file doesn’t work but I can’t prove it as my testers are on holidays unlike me and I don’t own any Windows or Mac. Best regards.

I can’t play that game either, because Java 6 isn’t released for my computer.

But if you had Mac OS X 10.5 software update 1 at least, you could use Java 1.6.

I updated the game description! Sorry for the confusion…

You need a 64-bit processor and I’ve got a 32-bit (much to my surprise).

Please could you check if it works under Windows without installing SWT separately? Maybe you have already installed it on your machine.
