Spanking computer game project

[lowmobile]

probably a typo on my part. Is your java (not javascript) up to date?

[Izumi]

yes,I just downloaded it

[Emily]

Got the latest version of Java for Mac, tried to open the game in multiple different programs. Just a blank white screen in every single one.

Incidentally, if you need someone to write the dialogue, descriptions, backstory, etc., I can do that. I'm good at it.

Emily:
Thanks, I would love some help with dialogue, etc. We can discuss once we figure out the loading issues.

I'll try to change the program a little to make it more mac friendly.

I have tried it in Chrome, firefox, and internet explorer with success on 2 pc's. Has anybody been able to successfully load it on a mac?

Izumi:
if it still says that java (or javascript) needs to be downloaded, I think there are only 2 possibilities: you need to restart your browser or your browser is blocking java (look for a message in the browser saying such). Let me know if this remains.


If people continue having trouble loading the program, I can try to port it to something easier to run. However, I chose java since it is compatible with windows and mac, so I believe it would be ideal. Cheers!

I have uploaded a version that should be fully compatible with macs. Whether you are using a pc, mac, or linux, let me know if you can run the program and if you have encountered any problems.

Instructions
Download the zip file
Create a folder on your desktop called "SrpgExp"
extract all of the contents of the zip file into this folder
open srpg.html with your browser. Any should work, but I have successfully used Chrome, firefox, and internet explorer

if you are not sure your java is working, google search "check java"

Nope, still not working. Got an error message this time, though, which is progress.

Is the main.class in the same folder as the html file? Has main.class been assigned a file type by your computer (for example converted to a text file)?

Hey lowmobile, it's working for me (after updating java to newest version). Cool project so far!

Thanks for letting me know, that's great! May I ask if you are using a PC or Mac?

I would love to try this game, but for some reason I am unable to log into the account. It is asking me for email and password, and I give it the 'lowmobileFiles' as the email, and the 'freeAcess' as the password. What mistake am I making?

[Emily]

Yes, main.class is in the same folder and is a Java file. Blank white screen in every browser I've got. Interestingly, the blankness seems to have a specific shape and size, in terms of being selectable and scrollable. But that is the extent of the interaction possible. The window I open the program in does not present a user interface or anything other than blank whiteness.
