I decided to resurrect my old JavaCPC-games website.
(The old one was still very frequented but is absolutely outdated)
So you'll find soon many games to play online on http://java.cpc-live.com/index.php (http://java.cpc-live.com/index.php)
And I also added something never-seen-before:
CPC-Games which are able to store a highscorelist on the server.
(This is still in the beginning! So who wants to test these games, please register and send me a PM that I can put you into this user-group!)
4 games are already available in this section:
Arkanoid
Cauldron 1
Cauldron 2
Death Wish 3
Link to the highscore-list:
http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php (http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php)
So, if anybody wants to add games there, too, please contact me, and I'll explain, how that works (It's possible with a single upload script!)
Have a nice day!

That will be done.
I'm going strictly in alphabetical order, so it'll take a while to reach "T". Right now, I've added "A", "B" and "C" will follow shortly.
It's - of course - my selection, but suggestions are welcome for any games which are missing.
This is great!!! I hope people start using it...
Only note: the screen should probably be larger - the rest of the cpc takes up way too much space!
Choose full size.
Bryce.

That's what I told Markus as well. He argues that you can klick on the "Full Size" option to get a bigger screen.
Edit: Dang! Bryce beat me to it. ;)
Important info: Not all keys work when you play highscore games!
This I did to avoid clever players to use their own "loaders" with nice PEEKs and POKEs inside ;)
But every game *should* autoboot!
So, if a game doesnt startup for itself, just reload the page...
I loved the CPC-display inside a CPC ;)
So just click fullsize to get a larger screen :)

Maybe it´s interesting for you, but on my Mac not one single key is recognized. Is it possible to fix this?

I have the same problem. Try klicking 64-bit (it did not help with my MacBook). It's ok on a W7 laptop.
Seems that some MAC have problems to find the correct focus... Did you click INTO the CPC display?
BTW.: When you move yur mousepointer into the applet or also away from the applet, you'll hear a sound lack. This is because the emu resyncs everytime you enter/leave it with your mouse.
I added this to allow to bring it's speed back if runs out of performance... (Indeed, the sync problem is already best known and especially Linux and Mac users have problems here... Thanks to javax.sound API *grrrrr*)

We've already discussed this phenomenon. I don't think it has anything to do with the focus in the browser in particular. I'm in the screen with the focus on the CPC, but the keys don't respond. Sometimes it even does work, but not at the beginning. Instead, I have to erratically press a lot of buttons, until I get a response. From then on, it works well.
@villain: Do you use Firefox? A friend of Markus' said it worked in Chrome.
I tried Firefox and Safari, both with and without 64-bit option. I will try it with clicking in the window again. :-)
Clicked into the display now and it works. Now the problem is, that the recognition lags so much... This could of course also be caused by the weakness of my MacMini (1,66 Ghz).

On both browsers?
Just one click into the applet window? Do you have a full Apple keyboard, or a small one with the Mac? If the latter, did you click to map the Joystick to the keys?
I also have the lagging even if it works; Mine is a 2.2GHz Intel Core Duo 2.
Well I also had the keyboard problem here with my Win7 PC.
But if you minimize it and maximize, it gains focus.
Dunno yet where the bug is... Here I encountered it 2-3 times
But I remember I had Skype running...?!?
Info: The highscore-games are in their own section... ;)
This section is not available for unregistered or normal registered "users".
So, if you want to try them, please contact me via PM and I'll move your account to this group.
Ah - I thought "Full Size" was "Full Screen". My bad!

ALT + Enter = Fullscreen ;)
Small update:
Anybody can play the highscore games now!
But only for members in the highscore-games group the scores are stored....
Also changed: no keys are blocked longer for score-games.
But the keyboard is locked for ~4 seconds to disallow user input while under BASIC. (The game autoboots)
The autotype feature (F11) is disabled, too and reset also reboots the game and keyboard is locked again for a while.
3D-Starstrike and Zynaps added to highscore games.

Both browsers, one click, full Apple keyboard (das wo Du die Semmelbrösel der letzten 5 Jahre drin sehen kannst ;-)).

Thanks. That reinforces my suspicion that the keyboard in my MacBook is to blame. First of all, I have to check the Joystick emulation and then fiddle around with the keys to get it working. grrr.
Seems laggy?
I updated the GUI today for users with slower PCs.
(http://java.cpc-live.com/gui.png)
By default the emulator is skinned with the CPC 464 design.
When you select "Small" the applet turns into a 384x272 pixels applet (Which should be the fastest solution on older systems)
"Large" turns it to 768x544 pixels.
"Full" turns it to the largest possible site (in this website)
"Skinned" (default) turns it back to the applet with CPC 464 skin.
Also important:
When you have sound-lags:
Move your mouse inside / outside the applet. This resync's the CPC and the lag should be over.
(Repead this step if sound is still upset)
Fullscreen is ALT + Enter key (Smiling to Gryzor) ;)
I still think the FD-1 looks too 2D, it needs some depth :)
Bryce.
Especially for you, Bryce:
(http://java.cpc-live.com/gui2.png)
That looks nice, it could be the new wiki logo, although without the javaCPC text.
Yeah it could ;) But it's already in use :)
:)

Yes, and the edges should look a little bit more rounded, just as on the cpc464. ;)

Does that mean "No, I'm not changing any more" ? ;D
Bryce.
Yeahhh you got it (http://hundeforum.cpc-live.com/images/smilies/hug.gif)
Gryzor added to highscore-games (Was really a hard nut!)
Saboteur added to the highscore games!
Who can beat who?
http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php (http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php)
My website now shows for each game or demo a textarea with BBCode or HTML code to share the page.
Now it's easy to share each game on a blog, forum or website.
Example:
[url=http://java.cpc-live.com/game.php?id=-P-&title=p47][img]http://java.cpc-live.com/games/-P-/p47.png[/img][/url]
(http://java.cpc-live.com/games/-P-/p47.png) (http://java.cpc-live.com/game.php?id=-P-&title=p47)
I also added a "Facebook share" button...
I added a self-coded search engine.
You now can find your favourite game quickly!
http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php (http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php)
You can also find the search field in the left navigation bar.
Example:
All available games by Gremlin Graphics:
http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php?search=%28gremlin (http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php?search=%28gremlin)
Or: all available "Aliens" games:
http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php?search=aliens (http://java.cpc-live.com/gamesearch.php?search=aliens)
I added 6 changeable "Website themes"
By default they appear randomly, but you can also store your favourite style.
http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php?theme=random (http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php?theme=random)
http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php?theme=1 (http://java.cpc-live.com/scores.php?theme=1)
