Plan for Craig Fortune

Well this weekends GiD was a tad different to most. Most of the regulars (especially the programmers) have either been busy with the typical christmas season hoohar or have had the flu. This has led to a couple of the artists deciding the put the programmers hat on... including me.

I'll make no excuses, I'm not a strong programmer, I'm a complete newb. In university we ahve started learning java programming and as such i thought I'd try doing this GiD by myself in Java... completely leaving out the art side of things. It was scary, but enjoyable ;)

Being new to programming a lot of runtime errors mean nothing to me (ie, i dont understand wth they are on about) and getting unknown errors during a GiD is never nice ;) Thankfully after some playing about I figured out it was my stupidity 100% (Apparently calling object methods is difficult when theres no object, whoever would have thought that ey? lol :D)

Without further ado I present to thee "Dodgy Java applet game." =D


Play Here!

If anyone has a clue why stuff draws a bit wonky when I included double buffering (had to learn how to do that during this GiD too, heh) then please let me know... Stuff is supposed to be circles, but I suppose it kinda gives extra feel to it, nah it just makes it look cack doesn't it? lol

I wanna see people's highscores! I would say about 100 is a midrange score.
