I’ve been working on a music game on and off for the past month for the TIGSource A Game By Its Cover compo. It’s inspired by this fake game cartridge:

You control a character in a 2D side-scrolling world and collect Jams, which you can then play to build up a sweet tune. There are other boombox dudes in the world who will jam with you when you are playing what they want to hear. The goal is to simply collect all the jams in the level and then just jam out with them.

Yah, it’s my understanding that there is an issue with the latest version of the JVM on Windows and OpenGL applets. Not sure there is anything I can do about that, other than not use OpenGL, which will slow it down a bit.
you may record a video and put it on youtube? or you create an executeable jar file for download?
