Jive applet Wiki page

[Triode]

Now that we have a mechanism to download applets to the remote from the server, I've created a wiki page for distrbution of appets by the community.

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?JiveApplets

Please see the instructions on the wiki for how to download and install them.

Please add any applets you have written and would like the rest of the jive remote testing community to try out...

Hmmm, couldn't figure out how to upload applets to the wiki.

I've got the tetris applet, which should have all of the bugs worked out and a new applet called "gravity"

It's a little gravity sim. You fire a comet into a system and try to get it to avoid the planets until the timer runs out.

Position the comet with up / down / left / right, then press go. Then use up / down / left / right to give the comet initial velocity, and press go again.

If someone could upload these, or give instructions on how to upload them that would be great.

Thanks

Go to the wiki page, select attachments at the bottom and then select the files to upload via your browser.

And you need to package them in a SC plugin for the autmomatic upload to work. Let me have a look at these for you.

Patros,

I've packaged your applets in SlimCentre plugins and attached them to the wiki for you.

Feel free to add a description to the wiki.

[Note I'm not sure Gravity is working for me at present though]

Looks like the framerate was set too high for the hardware to handle. Got it working on the hardware now, just need to make some changes to the controls and I'll post up a working version.

[Patros]

Here's a version that works on the hardware. Scroll wheel is up/down, top two buttons above the scrollwheel are left / right. centre button is enter.

Step 1: position the small circle, then press enter.

Step 2: add an initial velocity (opposite of the red line), then press enter.

Step 3: watch.

Posted this buried at the bottom of a karaoke thread, so hope it's ok to cross post. I'm having problems getting applets to work on my Jive:

I've downloaded Snake, Invaders and Lyrics from the wiki page (wasn't sure whether to go for Lyrics or Lyrics-0.2 but went for the latter). Restarted SC and went to Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer and selected Invaders and Snake (Lyrics wasn't there) and then selected Install. Briefly "Downloading Applets" appeared and then Jive rebooted. If the applets have installed, I don't know where they are (e.g. they are not under Extras). Any tips would be appreciated.

should be under games or extras. I can't remember offhand. I did find
that I sometimes had to do the applet installer more than once. that, or
it really only does one at a time properly.

I think the Snake and Invaders posted on the wiki are out of date and won't work with the current firmware. (Someone needs to maintain these...)

Retrobrowser should work - do you see it it under Extras?

I had the same thing, and it happened so fast I thought it was a system crash. Bug #6655.
