Yeah, I've narrowed down the cause to one probability: the new version 
of JRE requires the signing of applets when used in conjunction with 
OpenGL. I'll be able to sign my applets pretty soon.

Thanks,

Sam

Gah!

I was hoping that after downloading the JDK, the process of signing my 
applets (thus making them viewable in a web page, on most computers) 
would become possible. But no. Every turn I make takes me down a path 
fraught with peril. And for what? For an applet that would take up a big 
ol' chunk of my limited web space?

It's just not worth it!

So in order to save what's left of my sanity, I'll release anything I 
make as a standalone application. I realize that this will limit my 
audience, but if I make something truly worth seeing, then the download 
will be worth it. I could then use a file-hosting service to provide 
direct downloads. And, if I ever finish a game, save files will be 
easier to manage.

At least Processing lets me export applications to the Big Three OSs :/

So, in short, I'm giving up... unless inspiration strikes and the 
solution become clear `:(

Sam

Demo the screen. Post video to youtube. Right now I can only vaguely imagine 
what you're talking about.

In related news... How the hell do you take a video of something 
actually on your computer screen? (Short of pointing a video camera at 
your monitor, which just seems silly...)

If you are on Windows, I recommend camstudio, with their proprietary
codec, for the capture on disk. (and it's free of charge) (you can
capture fullscreen or partial area)

Next you will need to transcode it to a codec supported by your video
editor, but that's an offline operation.

(for conversion, Freemake Video Converter is my other recommendation)

Bizarrely, this claims that FFmpeg and VirtualDub can do screen capture...

Well, FRAPS is pretty much the standard for video games.

Isn't that also insanely expensive though?

First 30 seconds is free, then it's like $39 or something here?

So, no, unless you're very poor. :-)
