Snowfall by Carter Patterson

Sadly I can not get the JAR File to work, I have uploaded the source code. If someone makes a JAR file that actually works and can provide a link I would be very great-full and I'll credit you here.

My second jam entry for the ludum dare. Not the full game I wanted it too be but I still like it, I will most likely be updating this game later. If you are interested you can follow me on twitter (@sgtQuad) for updates on this and any other projects I might be working on.

If there are any problems please contact me via twitter or leave a comment here, I will try to fix it as soon as I can.

I hope you enjoy.

Some more details for that exception:
I used Java 7 from the command prompt (java -jar Snowfall.jar)

Same here :( (windows XP, JRE 7)

"Could not find the main class: Snowfall. Program will exit." Sorry.

Three stars in graphics because the title screen is nice ^^. Can't play either

Shigor23 Dec 2011, 23:57

Won't run either (I'd love to know how Cell managed to play it...)

angrygeometry23 Dec 2011, 23:58

another "i can't play" from me too i'm afraid!

ACodeGerm24 Dec 2011, 16:36

"Could not find the main class: Snowfall. Program will exit."

That title screen looks intriguing though : /

summaky24 Dec 2011, 17:19

I also receive the "Could not find the main class: Snowfall. Program will exit." error message and can't play.

I'm getting the same error as everyone else I'm afraid. Hope you fix it soon!

KevinZuhn28 Dec 2011, 03:32

I got the main class error as well, so no playing for me...

Wompus28 Dec 2011, 06:28

Guys he forgot to include some content files like his images, and possibly more (audio?).

jeffz2 Jan 2012, 13:18

It's made with Java 7, which isn't for general use yet, so we can't run it.

Canyon4 Jan 2012, 11:23

I opened up the archive and tried to recompile manually but it just wouldn't work. I like the title screen, hopefully you fix the bug and we can all give it a try before judging ends.
