test it out and let me know what you think
I realise the background doesnt' stretch properly
http://rancidmoose.unitedti.org/members/software/Helicopter.jar
it is resizable
controls:
f2/f3 toggle fullscreen on/off
spacebar = pause
click = fire weapons
the farther your mouse is from the helicopter the faster you go.
up and down are also mouse controlled.
if the game runs too fast/too slow you can extract the .jar, and search through the sourcefile (HelicopterGame.java) for 4500, and replace it with a shorter or longer delay as required, and recompile.
What version of java are you using? When I tried running it from a console I got the following:
Code: [localhost:~/Desktop] jonah% java -jar Helicopter.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: HelicopterGame (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)

Unless I am not mistaken, you have a higher version of Java than 1.4.2. (which is what I have).
oh, thats correct, I have 1.6.0.
this code will only compile back to 1.5 though....let me upload that version though
[edit]
and uploaded.
I can't use 1.4 for this game because it makes heavy use of generics.
I think I don't like the lag I get when I repeatedly click really fast to shoot rapidly.
The framerate seems fantastically low for the background - can you do something about that? Otherwise, it's great.
It worked once for me then died
