both the help and play buttons freeze the game. i'm on win7.

when I try to push one of the buttons i get

@mes There is a strange bug with it where you have to launch the game from command prompt on windows, or else it freezes. Very annoying, I know.

I'm playing on a mac~! It's really interesting, and very entertaining. Good concept, but it's a little hard to keep track of everything, or know exactly what impact you're making on the enviroment. Really cool, but some progress meters or something'd be awesome.

Got the same exception on Windows when running from the command line.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. When I first run it I get an error:
"Error loading /select.wav:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format"

When I press play or help I get:
"Exception in thread "Game Thread" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Master Gain not supported

Pressing Exit works. I encounter errors running with and without terminal. I know I had audio problems with my game in Java on Linux; I think it's an OpenJDK thing but I can't say for sure.

Unable to play on Windows 7. Nice title screen though.

Also could not run the game on Win7 even from command line

Could not run this on Windows 64-bit. It would freeze when clicking on Play, though the background music kept going.

PS. That was running OpenJDK 1.6.0_24. I'm trying to get the Oracle Java running, with little success. I'll try again tomorrow.

I get the same errors regarding 'Pan' as the others. I'm on Windows 7, and I ran it from the command line with Java 1.7.0_05 64-bit. What Java version did you compile with?

Unplayable on ubuntu 12.04

Got the same exeption. I'm on Windows 7.

Runs fine on MAC :)

Had no idea what needed to be done or why also the color changing was annoying.

On Windows XP SP3:

Linux version also not working over here ("Unsupported control type: Pan")

It keeps crashing in the menu for me. win7 64 bit.

"Unsupported control type: Pan"
Java version 1.7.0_05, Windows 7 64-bit

I had the same error even if I try with java -jar 'filename'

Yeah, no Pan supported. :(

All buttons throws an uncatched exception, unless Exit one. Liked the random coloured background on the menu, by the way.

Getting the same error as everyone else.

Good game. It's not clear sometimes what the organism wants. But pretty solid game. It's good to see source interesting how the logic works.

Sorry win7 people. I guess it only works on some computers since I've tested it on a few of my own that are on windows and it seems to work fine (when launching from command prompt)... If you encounter an error make sure you have the most up-to-date java version, but that's all I can say.. I will be sure that my next entry is on the web.
Thanks for rating if it works!

It doesn't work on my Windows XP 32-bits. Getting freeze after pressing Play button.

Freeze when I click on Play or Help. Sorry :/

I hate to step on the OP's toes, but since they haven't released a fixed version I edited the bytecode to get rid of the problematic bits. Here's a working version (all systems): http://enigmablade.net/downloads/Simulation_working.jar

Same pan error. Where did you get the music though? It was great.

Couldn't get it running, same error as the others.
Windows Vista, 32 Bit. Ran from the command prompt.
Sorry. :(

Yup. Windows 7 32bit, same error as everyone else regardless of Java version used and whether run from prompt or not.

Cant run it on Ubuntu 12.04 with both OpenJDK and Oracle JDK :

Same Pan error on Windows XP with Java 7.

Could you upload a compatibility version with all sound references removed?..

Wouldn't respond to any input on Mac OS X, so I was stuck on the main menu.
