Dodgeball Massacre by Falcon256
Stuck in an asylum with no exit with 101 nutjobs and a demonic dodgeball. The ball changes as you "feed" it.
Just a quick little game in java. Haven't had anyone able to use it on mac yet. Works on windows so far. The eclipse project is included.
The insane AI and insane dodgeball physics are intentional. If in doubt, run from the ball till it stops... If it stops >:)

A script with the proper path settings to the lwjgl files should probably fix the first one easily.
I liked the graphics - particularly the shafts of light. I found the character-relative controls difficult to use, but I guess you need to do that for aiming. Maybe a combine mouse-keyboard control scheme (keys to move, mouse to aim) would work better.
The ball had a bit of a mind of its own when it bounced - sometimes suddenly randomly speeding up at times.
When you mention a script, Are you saying like a match file that opens java up wherever it is and sets the proper classpath variables and the like? I'm not sure how to set this up for anything other than windows.
This drives me nuts since my ld19 project worked fine for almost everyone. This one is much simpler.
Your map looks really nice with the static lighting and all. You took the theme and made something unique! Good job!
