Weird! Having shut down and restarted Firefox I still get a failed app but the

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.secretpaste.jigsaw.JigsawNoseFactory

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

part of the info no longer appears!

The java symbol appears, it rotates about 3/4 of round load meter then locks.
Firefox no java (blank screen) symbol, never activates.

Meanwhile I could successfully try the following systems (all with an up-to-date Java6): Windows 7 64 Chrome, Windows XP Pro 32 Firefox, openSuSE 10 64 Konqueror, OpenSuSE 10 64 Firefox
I don't know what the problem could be if even the load freezes.

There is an alternative though: I added a webstart version and posted the link at the bottom of the test page. A java webstart depends only on the local JRE not on the browser (in theory that is).

Newly loaded Java. Windows XP. Firefox.

Same as LRM...rotating Java symbol stops at about 2 0'clock ... ...

I uploaded a debugging version. Could you please check the Java console when the load freezes? You should have an option to bring up the console either in firefox or in the taskbar panel of windows XP.

Thanks for testing.

... ... ...any use??

I found the problem ... quite embarrassing: the problem was for all languages that don't use a decimal comma (in other words lots out there) :-(
This version should work now for everybody as I don't use a text representation for the engine initialization.

SUCCESS

Completed.

Rather a dark picture but entertaining...

very amusing-it loaded first time for me no problem-twenty minutes fun especially when you build it upside down as i did Dito looked fantastic on the organ upside down-who cares which way up she is-thanks Craban-thanks Dito

@ Spindle: Hey You I am not Amadeus. Do you even know how hard it is to play such an organ? Let alone upside down!

Many thanks for all the feedback and testing.

I did not complete it but it loads now. I can rotate pieces. I think you nailed it.
Thanks
L

Like wot LRM said!

Cheers, Gerry

n1 little game thx !

Loaded and worked fine. One thing that I found. Some pieces, when rotated, are clipped (i.e., parts of the outside disappear), usually the tabs and usually on pieces that are rectangular. Could be a frame size problem.
