   Java space shootemup, a la Robotron, Mono or Geometry Wars
  I've been working on this on and off for a few weeks. I was inspired by the games Robotron and later Mono (I'm sure some people here will have played that) and I've heard it's similar to the game Geometry Wars on X-Box (the graphics aren't as snazzy as those two though ;)Feedback would be very welcome, since this is just a test and I need to iron out any problems before I release it to the masses.It starts off a little slow, but it gets rather hectic the more you progress.Play it here! You'll need Java installed, it's compiled targetting Java 1.1 though so it shouldn't matter what version you have.Screeny:Thanks a lot guys![Edited by - The Rug on July 9, 2006 1:33:11 PM]
  Good stuff. I'm not good with the mouse keyboard thing, but i adjust well. The only complaint is that the High Scores input doesn't output anything. It says input your name, but my name or score doesn't show up on the High Scores Table. What's up with that? [smile]   ;  That's odd, it seems to work for me- what browser/Java version are you using? Does the Java console say anything?;Quote:Original post by The RugThat's odd, it seems to work for me- what browser/Java version are you using?

If it is, then you should see a HighKilla with scores of 1600+ and 2000+.<br><br>;  It's a fun game. It would be more arcade-style if it stopped every once and a while and said "Level 2" or something like that. Unless I just never got that far along.   ;  IE 6.0 and Java 1.5, Windows XP Home SP2 here. I like it. Good work, keep it up. =)I got the second and third top scores. Name is "Matt". HeHe. =D Sendind it to favorites now. =)   ;  Cheers guys I gave you all a boost :)There are no levels, it's just one long onslaught at the moment. If I get enough requests for levels I might put them in.The score system is definitely working for some people because I can see the scores there, so I don't know what the problem could be- sorry :/ Maybe a firewall or something? It uses an ASP script to put the score into a file, so maybe the problem is there, I'll try and look into it.I've noticed it runs way too fast on some machines, which is also something I've got to get to the bottom of -_-   ;  Good game. Could use some sound and then it would be awesome!As far as not getting the highscores saved, that could be a client side firewall issue. (Of course if your just using HTTP and port 80 to send the high score, it's probably not a firewall issue)   I was not able to save my score either. (using regular IE 6 with XP sp 2 firewall enabled)Update: high score saving does work.  The game did freeze up on me once, so you might have a bug in the code. (had to close the browser)  I agree with a previou poster, you might want to add levels (to make it more arcade like, and give the player a pause)[Edited by - dtaylorjr on July 9, 2006 11:06:24 AM];  I made a mistake in my first reply. I'm using Avant Browser. LoL. I forgot -- I've only been using it since yesterday, since IE decided to basically stop working.I am on WinXP SP2 with the firewall enabled as well. No problems. The first time I played I didn't see my high score. But I played again and they were both there.   ;  The reason the high score may not show up properly is because it loads the score list every time it needs to be displayed, but after the first time it has been loaded all subsequent loads are from the browser's cache. I'm not really sure how to fix this unfortunately.
