Based on the feedback here, I'd say that Java 1.6 (aka Java 6) isn't working with the game, at least on Windows. I don't know why, but am trying to figure it out. If I can figure it out I'll post something here and try to fix the game.

OK, I believe it's fixed now. Totally quit out of your browser and/or clear your cache and/or reboot if you're still having trouble. Does that fix the problem for everyone who tried Java 6 under Windows and got the red X?

Best,
Ian

PS *Much thanks* for helping track down this bug! I never would have caught it on my own...

Thanks Ian, working in both IE and Firefox!

Real easy way to get the game is copy the shortcut and place it on our desk top. Works fine for me. Just run the game this way plus you get a nice little rosetta icon.

Sometimes i got exception in java console like these:

Sometimes i got exception in java console like these:
(errors deleted

Did they cause the game to not work, or they just look ugly? :) I often see those messages too, but they're harmless; they come up because the software the game is based on also runs as a desktop application and it complains about the restricted environment of the web browser.

Here's the link: the Rotamer Game

There's now a second game up on this page, in several different flavors. You can see some of the things we're trying out in terms of visual representation, and the simplified interface for the game. The new one is much harder than the first, but unfortunately there's no way to check your answer right now :( We hope to have that working in a week or so...

Best,
Ian
