Good morning everyone!

I recently made a site which I will use for uploading video games. If anyone has a moment, may you please follow the link http://randomsite.net78.net/Games/PlaySnakeGame.htm to my Java Applet based snake game and see if it works. If it doesn't work, please leave some feedback about what went wrong such as what the error consoles say. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look at it and help me debug it!

Wow, I'm sorry nobody ever checked this for you... but in short, no, I was not able to play your game. I took a screenshot:

after a java update, I got it to work.

Some things i noticed:
you reset the snake one step to soon (there's always one block left between te snake and the edge of the screen)
try not to use a specific character for an event. Not everyone uses a qwerty keyboard. I believe there's a way for java to get a key's position, but it's been a while since I did anything like that, so I could be mistaken.

Wow, I really didn't expect that. It's just a basic Java Applet, I can't imagine why it wouldn't even be recognized by the browser as a plug-in. Maybe you have something like no-script blocking the Applet?

Thank you caracarn001, I know about the 1 block away from the edge thing, there used to be an image background with a wall one block away from the edge to indicate this but I had to remove it because default Java permissions don't allow the basic retrieval of images as files in the Jar. I had to manually encode all the images in the game as int arrays. And with the size of the background, I decided to leave it out. Fortunately, I recently found a better way to load images with works with default permissions.

As for the keyboard, what do you mean? I've never really seen a game released in the past few years that doesn't use wasd as the basic layout scheme.

The java keyEvent has a method called getKeyLocation(); I think you can use this to seperate the control's key from the control's char. I'm not completely sure though.

Shit. I checked the game a few days ago and proceeded to forgot to post that it DID in fact work for me. And it still is today. As for in not working for cent, idunno. Maybe you've got something going down with your Java settings or maybe something is interfering with it.

Yea, it's definitely on my end. Still trying to figure out why it won't work as I know Java is installed... Oh wells, I'll figure it out one day or another.

Java just kept loading for me, probably something on my end.
