Bug
Reporting
I'm not generally
in favour of annihilating bugs, except when they're electronic ones. Bugs
in code are generally tiny little errors which arise due to oversights
in coding, bad program design, glitches in the system outside the control
of the programmer, and very rarely, the extreme idiocy exhibited by highly
talented programmers after too much caffeine.
If you find a bug,
then email me about it. Below is a list of "known" bugs.
| BUG |
STATUS |
WORKAROUND |
| Applet crashes with a single null
pointer error on start of game. |
FIXED
(I hope) |
Reload the web page. |
| Blocks stop falling,
but the applet still responds to the down arrow and drop commands. |
UNKNOWN
This is believed to be a problem with
accidental Thread death under Netscape. |
End, then re-Start
the game. |
| Under Netscape, the
applet cannot load, and there are some errors associated with image
loading displayed in the Java console. |
UNKNOWN
I have no ideas about this one. It's very sporadic,
so it could be a Netscape glitch. |
Use Internet Explorer,
or restart your computer and try Netscape again. |
| The Applet displays
the text "Visit www.warpax.com", and won't do anything else. |
INTENTIONAL
This is not a bug, it's version protection. Send me an email if
you want to mirror the applet.
|
Run the applet from
www.warpax.com |
All email should be
sent to:
jmerritt@warpax.com
