Frequently Answered Questions
What do I need to run an Applet?
![[Netscape Now]](netplease.gif)
You need a "Java-enabled" web browser or an Appletviewer for your platform.
Netscape offers browsers for most platforms (be careful with beta releases).
I tried to submit my score but it didn't work!
There are several possible reasons, e.g. your network access is restricted,
the traffic is too high, this server is too busy or down or the database is
not available. You can request the current high-score
table to check the connection before submitting.
Some of your classes are lacking or corrupted!
No, they are all in place and functioning. Your network connection has
probably been broken temporarily and your browser took it for the end
of the file. Try to reload, and if that does not help, clear your cache
or restart your browser.
Can I put your Applet on my pages?
JavaTetris may be used freely for non-commercial purposes,
as long as you provide a hyperlink to the
home page.
I would like to download JavaTetris...
Tetris.zip
Can I have the source code for Tetris?
I am working on a documented HTML-version which I will make
available when I am done.
What do I need to run JavaTetris as an application?
You need a Java interpreter, e.g. that included in some of
Sun's products
(Java Development Kit JDK or Java Runtime Environment JRE).
Some operating systems (e.g. Linux) might have an interpreter already
built-in, too. Start the interpreter with java Tetris or
(if you have a Java file system installed) make Tetris.class
executable (chmod ogu+x) and call it directly.
-h provides a short description of the command line parameters.
Note that sound effects and high-score tables are not supported.
