WOW its been a month and i check and no one has replied?! Someone told me my program wont work... hmm thats wierd it works on my comp.. Does anyone kno why it mite not work on someone elses computer? I used eReady to program this game. Its also an applet.

Ya, it would help if it worked... THe applet loads up, plays the music and thats it. The only thing on the gray screen is an 'X'.

thats wierd... i dunno why.. do u kno how i can implement the applet in an HTML file? that way i can atleast post it up on the internet

Spartan_117 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 08, 2005 12:51 pm

Well i hav the HTML file but the applet doesnt work on that either.... Screw this.

I don't have a lot of any Java knowledge, but it might be something with using Mozzila/Firefox or missing the Java plugin. Not sure, I would test it out for you, but I don't have Internet Explorer on this computer... Is that what you are using?

Well i tried it on both, and both of them play the music but nothing shows up... On Mozilla it shows a gray screen and the music plays. On IE it shows a white screen with a small icon on the top left corner (its a small white paper with and X on it). It also plays the music on this.

THe error must be in my code.. But Ready to Program by Holt Software runs it fine... Confused

except flickery

I tried running it on Ready to Program and one of your import packages doesn't seem to exist.

yeah Java can be gay like that at times. I was having the same problem when making a physics presentation in an applet. still trying to figure out what happened.

Well i've figured out the main reason mine isnt working is because i was using Ready to Program by Holtsoft. DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!! NO LIE!!! IT USES THE WRONG COMPILER!!! It made my mario game work, yes, but i was doing everything wrong!! Now the only thing my program works on is RTP (Ready to Program). Which is useless! I hope your not using it, and if you are I highly advise you to delete that peice of junk and start using something else!!! IM DEAD SERIOUS!!! I DONT WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO GO THRU THE SAME SHIT I DID. Try JCreator, or NetBeans. Those two are quite good. Or jus try your good old Notepad and DOS.

A lot of the Ontario schools use R2P because they can wean students off of Turing onto Java using the same interface.

It's not the best compiler for Java by a long shot, but that's the reasoning behind it.

I doubt the teacher would let you use an alternate program (since you'd be introducing a load of additional complication) - but you could always ask.

[Gandalf] · **Posted:** Wed Oct 26, 2005 11:29 am

Nono, it's not complication, it's reality. Also, RTP isn't a seperate compiler, it uses the normal Java compiler, but you are importing an external library.

I am sure people are tired of the Turing environment by the time they finish.
