    Hey… your bad luck charm here.

    Exception in thread “Thread-8″ java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 1
    at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(Unknown Source)

    I had just sold 5 arrows, (which makes the shop have 55), and decided to buy those 55… but i never got the dialog popped up.

    Was running nicely up to that point.

    That damn guiTextBox :) I’ll take a look at it, see what I can do.

    I should probably look into fixing my unHandledException logger…

    Ew geek talk. Nice to know you fixed all my probs though Josh! Haha

  • 4 Kristie // Feb 12, 2008 at 6:37 am

    Josh, IMHO you need to make your page prettier, and get it some like, pages. And make the menu appear on individual post pages not only on the main page. /criticism. ;-)

    Josh,

    In your documentation, (V) brings up the view stats menu. It wasn’t working for me. I guess that’s because you can see your stats in the inventory menu, but I just thought I’d let you know.

    I really enjoy the puzzle element you put in with the treasure chests, however I noticed that you took out the hint button. I liked it better with the hint, because I’m not the best at the puzzles (although I do enjoy the chance) I just get frustrated if I can’t figure it out. Seems like a waste to let a chest go, not having figured out what the word was supposed to be.

    Josh, maybe you could but in a “buy a vowel button” on the word game lol.
    Personally I thought the word games were much better without the hint, but last time I played there was one I didn’t get (?), and one that was quite hard to get (Tranquillity).

  • 7 admin // Feb 12, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    Thanks Gerblet

    The documentation is out of date, I will have to rewrite it.

    I’m planing on doing a whole website make-over, I’m just not the greatest webdesigner on the planet so I’ve been putting it off.

    Personally I prefer the puzzle chests as they are, you can always leave them and come back to them later ;)

  • 8 Gerblet // Feb 12, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    Tranquility. That’s the one I couldn’t get. Thanks Kristie.

    If anyone cares, I played game 100! Woohoo!

    I went back to your alpha1 version and the difference is night and day! You’ve inspired me to finally write my own game. I don’t know how you have time to do all this and school at the same time, but it’s admirable.

  • 9 admin // Feb 12, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    haha, I’m currently unemployed and on summer break :)
    Good luck on the game, they can be tough nuts to crack…

  • 10 Nathan // Feb 13, 2008 at 8:48 am

    the hardest word i’ve had yet should have been the easiest.

    Underkeep :)

  • 11 Kristie // Feb 13, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    Hey, I think that might have been the answer to the only one I couldn’t get…. Perhaps I was over thinking things after dealing with Tranquillity lol

  • 12 Gerblet // Feb 14, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    what does +1 awesome do?

  • 13 Gerblet // Feb 14, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    Today I got the farthest I’ve ever been in Underkeep. I was doing really well, too! Had a stockpile of potions at my side and I was going along quite nicely. Just as I was starting level 4, the game froze on me. :( I was hoping to make the hall of fame on Valentine’s Day. Oh well.

  • 14 admin // Feb 14, 2008 at 9:30 pm

    Sorry to hear that - The freezes showed up in the error logs, unfortunatly they don’t have enough information other than ‘A null pointer error occured’ I haven’t managed to get stack tracing working on them yet.

    I’ll look into it some more, I might need to ask around some forums…

    PS if it ever happens again could you please view the java console (if you’re using firefox tools->java Console) and send me the error report. Thanks.
