Here's my first attempt at a Slick game:

Thanks for everyone's help answering my coding questions.

doesn't work here, just get a blank screen after applet finishes downloading, no error or extra output on the java console.

No luck here, either. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 x86. The applet goes through the download of the packages and I'm left with a blank/black screen.

Up until then, everything looks great. I like the intro graphic :) Like Nosferatu creeping up stairs.

EDIT: Correction. I tried again, since the material would have been cached. It worked the second time.

still no luck here, really odd problem though, you could try to put a few System.out.println() in the code, various places in the init( ) and update() methods, from there we can see how far in game it gets before it freezes on the black screen.

doing some more testing, i found that the problem is somewhere in your AppletGameContainer2 class, i switch the html code over to use org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer and it works without the freeze on the blank screen.

btw cool game :)

Thanks for your help Kappa. I'll investigate. I wanted to use ScalableGame because I found the game seems to run best in the native resolution of the monitor and AppletGameContainer would not let me set the target resolution.

I have same problem here on Ubuntu 9.04. Not working on second try either.

I just updated the game based off of Kappa's advice. Hopefully, it will work better now.

But, I had to clear my WebStart cache (javaws -viewer) before it would work though. Any idea how to avoid that? I didn't sign my application jar. Is that necessary?

Also, I noticed that GameContainer.hasFocus() always returns true now. The bug may have been related to gaining focus after it was loaded. I had a check that would stop the game from updating if it were not in focus.

works great now, really impressive work.

yes about the focus thing, by default slick will not render anything if it does not have focus, so good practice for applets is to set

container.setAlwaysRender(true);

so that it always renders even when it doesn't have focus.
