rabbits 2012-08-29 03:34

@mes There is a strange bug with it where you have to launch the game from command prompt on windows, or else it freezes. Very annoying, I know.

I'm playing on a mac~! It's really interesting, and very entertaining. Good concept, but it's a little hard to keep track of everything, or know exactly what impact you're making on the enviroment. Really cool, but some progress meters or something'd be awesome.

Got the same exception on Windows when running from the command line.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. When I first run it I get an error:
"Error loading /select.wav:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format"

When I press play or help I get:
"Exception in thread "Game Thread" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Master Gain not supported
at org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioLine.getControl(PulseAudioLine.java:89)

Pressing Exit works. I encounter errors running with and without terminal. I know I had audio problems with my game in Java on Linux; I think it's an OpenJDK thing but I can't say for sure.

Unable to play on Windows 7. Nice title screen though.

screamrawr 2012-08-29 04:31

Also could not run the game on Win7 even from command line

desiquintans 2012-08-29 04:34

Could not run this on Windows 64-bit. It would freeze when clicking on Play, though the background music kept going.

tastyorange 2012-08-29 04:36

PS. That was running OpenJDK 1.6.0_24. I'm trying to get the Oracle Java running, with little success. I'll try again tomorrow.

lonestranger 2012-08-29 04:37

I get the same errors regarding 'Pan' as the others. I'm on Windows 7, and I ran it from the command line with Java 1.7.0_05 64-bit. What Java version did you compile with?

domnomnom 2012-08-29 04:37

Got the same exeption. I'm on Windows 7.

dalsgames 2012-08-29 14:10

Runs fine on MAC :)

devwouter 2012-08-29 19:44

Had no idea what needed to be done or why also the color changing was annoying.

smirnov48 2012-08-29 20:18

On Windows XP SP3:

Linux version also not working over here ("Unsupported control type: Pan")

tigerj 2012-08-30 04:37

It keeps crashing in the menu for me. win7 64 bit.

dbralir 2012-08-30 05:15

"Unsupported control type: Pan"
Java version 1.7.0_05, Windows 7 64-bit

benjamin-soule 2012-08-30 07:32

I had the same error even if I try with java -jar 'filename'

ratking 2012-08-30 08:55

Yeah, no Pan supported. :(

infernet89 2012-08-30 13:10

All buttons throws an uncatched exception, unless Exit one. Liked the random coloured background on the menu, by the way.

someone 2012-08-30 13:26

Getting the same error as everyone else.

dick_claus 2012-08-30 14:55

Good game. It's not clear sometimes what the organism wants. But pretty solid game. It's good to see source interesting how the logic works.

thegamemaker 2012-08-31 20:29

Sorry win7 people. I guess it only works on some computers since I've tested it on a few of my own that are on windows and it seems to work fine (when launching from command prompt)... If you encounter an error make sure you have the most up-to-date java version, but that's all I can say.. I will be sure that my next entry is on the web.
Thanks for rating if it works!

infinitedog 2012-08-31 20:35

It doesn't work on my Windows XP 32-bits. Getting freeze after pressing Play button.

harusame 2012-08-31 21:12

Freeze when I click on Play or Help. Sorry :/

enigmablade 2012-09-01 01:23

I hate to step on the OP's toes, but since they haven't released a fixed version I edited the bytecode to get rid of the problematic bits. Here's a working version (all systems): http://enigmablade.net/downloads/Simulation_working.jar

fsmv 2012-09-02 03:00

Same pan error. Where did you get the music though? It was great.

pacifistgames 2012-09-03 04:58

Couldn't get it running, same error as the others.
Windows Vista, 32 Bit. Ran from the command prompt.
Sorry. :(

spaceoff 2012-09-03 09:54

Yup. Windows 7 32bit, same error as everyone else regardless of Java version used and whether run from prompt or not.

ubear 2012-09-03 11:51

Same Pan error on Windows XP with Java 7.

Could you upload a compatibility version with all sound references removed?..

demonpants 2012-09-11 20:01

Wouldn't respond to any input on Mac OS X, so I was stuck on the main menu.
