A Small Gift to the Community.
« on: December 15, 2006, 09:18:57 PM »
And by small, I mean "little" as in "practically nothing." ;-)

Some time ago, while updating my skills, I was asked to write a Java program that "bounced a ball of the sides of the screen." Being somewhat bored with the class I actually did more than was asked for. The result is a sensless little program I call JBoing, which I wrote in honor of the good ol' daze of Amiga.

So, for any who are interested, here's my minor tribute to the Amiga of long ago: JBoing.

I hope you all enjoy it for the whole 5 that seconds it amused me. :-)

And, sorry guys, but it is a Java app, so you must have a Java enabled browser. :-( Yea, I hate reality too...

Oh, and even though the instructions say "click anywhere in the gray area to activate" there's a small bug in the program (related to the virtual machine, I think), so, instead, "click anywhere in the upper half of the grey area to activate it."

In any case, enjoy,
Ed.

Heh!

Cool! Works fine on Firefox 2 / Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy.

How about making the "Workbench" work? Maybe you could expand it to include other old classics like the Juggler, especially as you have the icons for them!!!

And when does the GPLed version appear with source?!  :-)

Worked dandy on my PowerMac Dual G5 with 10.4.8, I'm using Firefox.  Perhaps you're using Safari?

@edanall

Great job dude!  Now if the gadgets worked this be a total Amiga experience!  Nice

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. :-)


@ Those for whom the applet worked:

Did the Workbench load initially? Or did it appear only after you "activated" the applet? That was the bug I was refering too. I'm now beggining to suspect that it's related to the browser cache rather than the JVM.


@ InTheSand

The sources are available, all one has to do is ask. I'll put them up on my website eventually.


@ InTheSand & Beller

As to expanding it. I'd love too, had I the time, but... well, you get the idea. :-)


@ Bill Hoggett

Greetings Bill! Long time, no read. :)

In case you don't remember, I used to be pretty active on CSA.Amiga, back during the "Gateway Daze." :)
