You need a JAVA Browser to use this applet!
You may use the Linux Mint 9 Live-DVD with the contained Firefox.
If you can't make the applet run and really want to play, you can use the AppletViewer from the Oracle JDK and start it with the .htm file as argument. The applet should be stored at an offline location, if you use the AppletViewer.
An application version for command-line launch also exists and is more compatible.


Astro Solutions Shield Fighter Applet

This is a round-based game for two players. Player 1 activates his spacecraft with a click and moves the shield with mouseclicks. He can define a shooting direction with a click, if the shield isn't picked and he doesn't touch the shield. Player 1 shoots with a click. The arrows show, in which direction player 2 flies around. Player 2 acts exactly the same way. The player wins, who hit the other player three times. If player 1 has got three points and player 2 has got two points, he gets a chance to score a further point, because the first player had an advantage. If the two players have got three points, the player with the shortest amount of time for moving and shooting wins.

This game is thread-safe. The applet is compatible to JAVA 1.1.8 and JAVA 1.8 and uses a deprecated JAVA API. It should also run with the MSJVM (JView).
