Share My Creation Yet another slot machine

Created this in B4J. Now I am stuck. What do you think, good, boring, too easy? Please feel free to comment (even if you think its crap!!).

Next stage is maybe music and a nudge function.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to say.
Requires Libraries: jCore, jFx, JMsgboxes

Hello Mark,

After getting and installing the MsgBox lib and the jfxtras-labs-2.2-r5.jar, (not stated as required)

I end up with this..

Try running on a clean machine to see what your dependencies are prior to publishing (then state what is required before installing - as many others do).
My B4J version - 4.00

Thanks

You should update to the latest version (4.20).

Sorry but I don't have a "clean" machine. I was not aware that the jar was required. It does not show up anywhere. Just for info, I am using Java 8.0_65, as I also develop for the RPi and my B4J is version 3.71.

You should update to the latest version (4.20).

I know you didn't mean me but I will as well.

The missing dialog class is included in Java 8u40+

 

[Mark Read]

Is this to do with my use of DialogResponses?

 

[Erel]

Starting from Java 8u40 the msgbox related classes are part of JRE. The jMsgbox library is no longer required.

 

[Harris]

All updated to latest java.

Looks good! A bit jumpy when setting the reels.

I don't remember what's installed in my machine, but the app worked fine.. I am using Windows 10 though
My suggestion is to try in next version to animate the images, (scrolling smoothly) if possible, and slow the speed..
This will give the impression of real slot machine.. also while making it random but enforce some results from time
to tile to give players kind of confidence and the will to continue.. you know all slot machines are not real random and
smartly programmed to lure players to lose more money.. (lose, win, lose, win, win, win, win, lose, win, then lose, lose, lose, lose forever)

A bit jumpy when setting the reels.

Please explain.

 

[Harris]

Please explain.

Sorry, the reels (2nd and 3rd) do not "smoothly" come to a stop. They seem to stagger (jitter) or jump to a halt.
That is what I see on my pc... Hard to explain what one sees...

I also see this on the actual machines... (when I invest a buck or two).
