Return of the Hexen Card Flipping game!

So last time I made this, I felt crushed and defeated when you guys were telling me you were getting blank boxes. It worked fine running it in Eclipse, going onto a web page was where it had issues. Well, I finally went back and tackled the problem, and my Hexen Card Flipper is now fully playable! <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> I put it here for now: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18735620/HexenMemory/HexenMemory.html">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18735620/HexenM ... emory.html</a><!-- m --> You'll have to tell your browser not to block the java applet and trust the publisher (me).

All I get is a black page with a small "broken document" icon top center.

Weird. Does your browser block stuff that's hosted on dropbox?

I found the reason for the broken image: you have been using the crappy \ instead of the correct / for pictures in subdirs. Only shit IE interprets \ as / in URLs, other browsers actually follow international standards.

So here in the states the banner image loads but in Europe it's broken? Interesting. That should be working now, but I don't understand why the game shouldn't load. I checked the code, and all the links to subfolders there use the "/" slash.

If you equate "here in the States" with "mindless drones" and "in Europe" with "capable of thinking", then your point might actually stand. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc4.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> These days, IE is only used by big corporations and by idiots who didn't yet figure out how to use a different browser. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc4.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> (though maybe both are the same?)

After countless tries and saying "OK" to potentially exploitable code, I finally managed to get it to run. While the idea is nice, using Java ruins it completely. Even besides all the incompatibilities, it's so slow you often think the application froze.

Hm maybe current versions of other browsers implemented this bullshit in their Windows version, I guess their motto was "fucking idiots can't be taught to be intelligent so we have to sink their ass-deep level". p.s. @ "national standards", while the shithead M$ "invention" of the backslash comes from the US, so does the normal Unix version of the forward slash. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc9.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

That's one for you for using Linux. :p Which makes it all the more strange, as the backslash is traditionally used as "escape" character in Unix as in programming languages. At any rate, when it comes to user interfaces, Java = bad. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc9.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Either way, go and find more bugs in KRPG, only reported problems can be fixed.
