Ok, this is really weird. Whenever I run this java game on my mac it bugs out and has this really weird screen jitter randomly.

It doesn't happen on my pc though. Can someone check this out?

It seems like the java runtime is trying to strech the screen to view objects moving off screen because it only happens when ships enter the screen or the player bullets move off the top.

EDIT: once the game reaches the top of the scrollable area it stops happening too.

AHHH FORCE FULLSCREEN!

Nothing happened on this mac

Why do these things always happen to me!

Well the macbook I have is brand spanking new.
I bought it to develop with, so this is a bit annoying.

I noticed that it has to change resolution modes to run this, so maybe it has something to do with that?

Something else I noticed is that even though the window is filling the whole screen the top and bottom of the screen is cut off until something moves in that area then the screen stretches weird to show it.

Is there something in the settings of the java runtime that could be doing this?

I'm gonna play with it more tonight. Thanks for testing.

it's brand new, huh?

have you downloaded the latest java version?

Well it didn't have java installed, so I had to install it to try this out in the first place.

I went to the java site and it said that apple distributes their own version of java.
Could this be the problem?

Java should be installed by default on your Mac. It comes with the system.

It didn't. At least not a version that would run a mmf java app.

So does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm going to check and see if running the app in window mode fixes it for now.
