New Flash/Director Golf Game needs testing...

[Ron Manke]

Hello,


We have a new Shockwave applet that needs testing. This Director applet 

utilizes the Flash Xtra.  


Flash Golf (our working title) is a unique Golf game that allows you to 

pan, rotate, and zoom over the golf course - courtesy of the cool 

features in Macromedia Flash!

The temporary URL is: <http://www.blackstone.ca/projects/golf/>



Instructions:

------------

This game uses a 2 click method for aiming and swinging. 


To golf, just click on the golfer and rotate.  When you let go, the power 

meter will automatically start.  Just press again to set the power meter 

and let go when the slice is to your liking.  (There are more elaborate 

instructions on the FAQ at the URL above).







NOTE:


Feel free to give this URL out to whoever you may feel is interested in 

testing it, but remember that this is only a -TEMPORARY- URL.  (When the 

project is done, we will send you the new permanent URL).


This game utilizes Shockwave for Director and the Flash Xtra.  Make sure 

you have the latest version of Shockwave installed.  Unfortunately, this 

applet does not seem to work on Internet Explorer 4.01 on the Mac...  (If 

anyone knows why, PLEASE let us know).




Let us know what you think! Please send me your comments and feedback on 

any problems that may arise. 


Thanks for your time. We REALLY appreciate it.

P.S.  These are the unresolved issues at this point:


-> Things are a lot slower in Shockwave than in Director/authoring mode.


-> on the PC, in projector/shockwave mode the sounds play at twice the

sample rate (they sound high). This doesn't occur on in Director/authoring

mode. Nor does it happen at all on Mac.


-> Still trying to hunt down an obscure bug that gives you an erroneous 

hole

under unusual circumstances.  Please let us know the circumstances, if 

you notice

this "feature".


-> If you lose your internet connection, or one of the holes or hole

descriptions files fails to download while you play the previous holes,

unpredictable results can occur. We're going to fix this with a 

"Connection

broken, must reload" screen.


-> We have yet to test our 'test for Flash' on persons with older 

Shockwave

plug-ins.
