Java Security block's your game:(

floatingghost 2014-12-08 17:28

нет comrade, sovetskiy snowman does not run!

I get a score thingy, then a game over screen.

Java 7/Firefox 34/Win8 (64bit)

Unfortunately I can't get past the security issue on OSX. I tried lowering my security level but it only goes down to high, there's no medium option on OSX :( I suggest trying the Ludum Dare IRC channel to see if anyone can help you package it into a jar file (I don't know anything about that, sorry).

I can't play it either - using Mac OSX

vaclav 2014-12-08 17:42

Sauce code :D I wish I could play this..

Java seems to block the Game

You can run it using a compiler right now. I am attempting to convert it to a jar and should, hopefully have it up by later today.

Oh, why is java so bossy...
After some attempts, I managed to launch the game and got the same problem as FloatingGhost.
Java 7/Firefox whatever/Win7 (32bit)

Didn't bother playing it because no exe.

I run it and I just get the Game Over screen.

Error message at launch : a java exception has occured

Had several issues with the game, mainly the one FloatingGhost had

The .jar works for me, sadly, the game is a lot too hard to be enjoyable: I get killed in 2 to 3 seconds, never more :'(

Sorry man, I couldn't run the game. I downloaded the jar file and when running it with java -jar I got this error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Man : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0". I have Java 1.6.0_65, perhaps your code requires the latest and greatest version of Java?
(this is on OSX)

Java Exception, sorry.
I have java 7, widows 7, maybe I need java 8? Would suprise me, after looking at the source.
I did extract the files(so that's not the problem).
I checked file capitalisation(because that's a common problem...).
My 2 cents:
I noticed you didn't put all the resources in the .jar
Instead of:
Snowman = ImageIO.read(new File("asdf\\SovietSnowman.png"));
put:

Snowman = Snowman.read(ImageLoader.class.getResourceAsStream("SovietSnowman.png"));
And put your image in the package of the same class.
That way you can ship a simple single runnable .jar file.

I also noticed the source folder you give is missing some images (like splash.png)

Hope any of this helps.

Only displayed a window with a blank white screen :(

Pretty funny. Nice work.

joris 2014-12-10 01:35

Couldn't run it because of a java error (I'm also on windows 8.1 and I have up to date java). I'm very sad :(

stray 2014-12-10 12:43

I could play after a lot of process. But it worth.

pjimmy 2014-12-13 12:30

very rough, couldn't see the hammers right away which confused me in the beginning, other than that, it's a simple funny game. Nice effort.
