I have decided to stop programming in Java

Since the applets no longer work. I have decided to stop programming in Java. I never really gotten used to Java.

I will keep programming but in another language. I was thinking of buying Play Basic but for the moment I do  my programming exercises in Blitz Basic.

(edit:)
I think the google site is returning errorous data from the applets. Maybe this will go away.

Java applets do not work anymore on my pc

I have tried firefox, internet explorer and google chrome but the applets do not show anymore. Also the browsers freeze when I load the pages. This happened before but not with all the browsers. I have no idea what I can do to fix it. I will try to look up what the problem might be.

edit :

I could not find any information yet. I have also tried reinstalling the java runtime. This did not fix it. I also tried another computer and this gives the same error. Also older applet that used to work did not work anymore. I get a magic number error with the applets when they do load. I hope this problem will fix itself in the future. As I have no idea what to do.

Manhattan Distance example

Manhattan distance example. Move the mouse over the applet to see the distance change.

 


import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class manhattandistanceexample001 extends Applet implements Runnable {
 // Graphics for double buffering.
 Graphics      bufferGraphics;
    Image       offscreen;
 int mousex =     0;
 int mousey =    0;

 public void init() {
     setBackground(Color.black);
        offscreen = createImage(getSize().width,getSize().height);
     bufferGraphics = offscreen.getGraphics();
     new Thread(this).start();

 }

    public void run() {
        for(;;) { // animation loop never ends
         repaint();
         try {
             Thread.sleep(10);
             }
             catch (InterruptedException e) {
             }
     }
    }

   public boolean mouseMove(Event e, int x, int y){
        mousex = x;
        mousey = y;
  return true;
 }

    public void update(Graphics g){
     bufferGraphics.clearRect( 0 , 0 , getSize().width , getSize().width );
        bufferGraphics.setColor( Color.red );
        bufferGraphics.drawString( "Manhattan Distance " , 10 , 10 );

  for ( int y = 0 ; y < 240/32 ; y++ ){
  for ( int x = 0 ; x < 320/32 ; x++ ){
   bufferGraphics.drawRect( x * 32 , y * 32 , 32 , 32 );
   int dist = mdist( mousex / 32 , mousey / 32 , x , y );
   bufferGraphics.drawString( "" + dist , x * 32 , y * 32 + 16 );
  }
  }

       g.drawImage(offscreen,0,0,this);
    }

 public int mdist( int x1 , int y1 , int x2 , int y2 ){
  return Math.abs( x2 - x1 ) + Math.abs( y2 - y1 );
 }

}

Euclidean Distance example

Euclidean distance example. Move the mouse over the applet to see the distance change.

    Image       offscreen;

 public void init() {
     setBackground(Color.black);
        offscreen = createImage(getSize().width,getSize().height);
     bufferGraphics = offscreen.getGraphics();
     new Thread(this).start();

 }

    public void run() {
        for(;;) { // animation loop never ends
         repaint();
         try {
             Thread.sleep(10);
             }
             catch (InterruptedException e) {
             }
     }
    }

   public boolean mouseMove(Event e, int x, int y){
        mousex = x;
        mousey = y;
  return true;
 }

    public void update(Graphics g){
     bufferGraphics.clearRect( 0 , 0 , getSize().width , getSize().width );
        bufferGraphics.setColor( Color.red );
        bufferGraphics.drawString( "Euclidean Distance " , 10 , 10 );

  for ( int y = 0 ; y < 240/32 ; y++ ){
  for ( int x = 0 ; x < 320/32 ; x++ ){
   bufferGraphics.drawRect( x * 32 , y * 32 , 32 , 32 );
   int dist = edist( mousex / 32 , mousey / 32 , x , y );
   bufferGraphics.drawString( "" + dist , x * 32 , y * 32 + 16 );
  }
  }

       g.drawImage(offscreen,0,0,this);
    }

 public int edist( int x1 , int y1 , int x2 , int y2 ){
  return (int)Math.sqrt( ( x1 - x2 ) * ( x1 - x2 ) + ( y1 - y2 ) * ( y1 - y2 ) );
 }

}

The blog still works.

It looks like the email I got from blogger support was wrong. The blog still works. I have 2 examples which I still need to place on the weblog. These are distance formula's examples. I am also stil thinking of what to program next. Though it is summer and I spend a lot of time outside. I have not programmed a lot. But I am reading programming books. I have an old Java 2 book which I am curently reading.
