I’ve just finished writing a first version of a JavaFX web game called Orbitals.
To play, click, drag, and release the small spaceship to launch. Use the gravity of the planets to attempt to reach the spinning starbase.
Lost your ship? Unlikely to get home? Press the RESTART button and start the level again.
Can’t solve the level? Press AUTOSOLVE and the computer will show you how it’s done!
Want to try a new configuration of planets? Hit the GENERATE button and try a new challenge.
Try to beat the par time. Sometimes it’s easy, other times it’s hard. Really hard.
Bugs? Recommendations? Comments? Post below and I’ll consider them for the next version.
04/09/09: I just noticed a bug that stops the game working properly in some browsers. Should be fixed now.
04/09/09: I’ve also taken out the signing – the program’s not accessing the local computer or any other site, so it wasn’t needed

I hate to say it, because I know it’s javafx’s fault and not yours, but I couldn’t bring myself to accept that security dialog granted unrestricted access to my system to play your game. I’ve been working with the technology since march and I still don’t feel right granting unsandboxed access to applets.

That’s not actually a JavaFX issue.
The reason you get that dialog is because Tony signed the jar file with a self signed certificate. You can click ‘Deny’ in the alert and the game will still play.
If he had not signed the jar at all, you would get no alert at all.

@mh When you play the game you will see the starbase slowly spinning.

@Sean:
I just took out the signing (it wasn’t really needed, kinda just slipped in there) so now it should run without prompting for access to your computer.
