Old News for Attack of the Sightless Monsters

NEW as of 10-31-2003:

I updated the menu bar--it now has mnemonics (or "hot keys"), and looks a bit different (it's in swing now--I forgot to update it when I did the rest of the applet).

I also fixed a bug with the images. They were loading during the game, which was causing them to come up blank for a few seconds the first time they appeared. I fixed this by having the applet draw every image when it first loads up.

I made the borders of the game board fit up a bit tighter against the borders of the game window. This means you'll know you've hit the edge of the area when your game character comes up against the edge of the window. It just makes more sense.

NEW as of 08-26-2003:

I have given the Sightless Monsters game a bit of an overhaul. I fixed a lot of problems with the images (they now show up and hide at the right times, and they look slightly better), added a feature that allows you to select your own keyboard controls, and made it possible for more items, and more of each type of item, to appear in each level. I also added a "Loading..." message at the beginning, and just did some general tweaking and streamlining of the code. More updates may be on the way soon--for one thing, I'd like to make it possible for you to beat the game! I'm also considering introducing some smarter monsters in the later levels, and possibly allowing you to trade in points for more items between levels. As always, your feedback is appreciated.
