Hi,
I've been messing around with awt/swing lately trying to learn how to do applets for my next game.

I have the following JApplet, which on the surface seems to work.

The problems I have occur when I try to exit it:

1. Pressing ESC does nothing, in fact line 38 is never reached when I run it in the debugger (nor is line 94 - it seems as if the overridden function processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) is not being called by the applet runner upon keypress at all).  However, mouse events do seem to be processed (via the debugger I can see line 99 being reached when i move the mouse).
2. Trying to close/quit eclipse's applet runner causes it to hang, meaning i have to kill the process. That didn't happen when running another applet through it.
3. the printed '@' is not at the right size, and I suspect it is not drawing using the fixed width font I set it up to use in line 74.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

-Ido.

Quitting by pressing "ESC" worked on my machine (Windows, Java 1.6, Eclipse 3.3.1.1), but first I had to click inside the window, first. Could you try it?

[tametick]

Didn't help- I'll try with an older Eclipse version and failing that, on Windows.

Can you also quit by closing the applet viewer window?

[Paolo Victor]

Closing the window didn't work, but maybe you should handle the specific window event?

Are there window events for Applets though?
