On a related but slightly different note... Sometime in the near
future, I want to get back into a fairly major SAM gaming project I
was working on. I'm going to give JAM a go (Just quickly tested it on
my machine running Windows 7, and seemks to work fine!). :-) I made
the mistake of working in GamesMaster again when I started it last
year, but I hit a bit of an annoying brick wall with it (Yes, I
know... but it worked so well for my first few games! :-D )
Unfortunately those limitations AREN'T because of the limitations of
the SAM, so I don't want to compromise the game from what it could do,
simply because of GamesMaster.
So my plan is to re-program it in Assembly. And my question is... (I
think I may have asked this before, but for the life of me I can't
remember, so sorry if I have!) what's the best resource for learning
it?? ;-)
Dave, I love what you've done with "Dave Invaders" :-D What did you
read for learning how to program it?
Quoting Balor Price <toberm...@cookingcircle.co.uk>:
Ah. I am a moron. Updated from Java 6 update 21 to update 30 and
the problem went away.
Must say, though, I would never have expected that to have been a
problem, especially because your binaries are all JAR files instead
of JAD midlets. Okay I'm confused again now!

People do use it then, not had much in the way of feedback.
Jam Assembler does not doing anything special with the font or
anything like that. It would be using Windows API for fonts and
messages etc. i.e. anything standard windows stuff.
Jam Assembler not been tested on anything newer than XP though.
What version of Java is your computer using? Have you tried re
loading Jam Assembler? I have a newer version on my computer which
sorts out some project view issues and does method inheritance I'll
upload it tonight with a bit of luck.
Otherwise can you send me a screen shot please.

Anyone having problems with the GUI in Jam Assembler? It's been a
while since I tinkered, but now I'm getting gobbledygook instead
of English in the dropdown menus and dialogue boxes... At a guess
I'd say the font lookups had gone askew, it's a JAR file that's
executed so it's not relying on Windows API calls or anything.
David?
