Ok, I've sorta have already asked this question before but I haven't gotten a real clear answer yet. I'm designing a networked TicTacToe game and was trying to get the applet to work on as many PC's as possible without the need to install anything by the user. Ideally I would like to do something like pokerroom.com (can't find another example)where their applet runs on almost anything. It runs perfectly on even an old Java VM, like 1.1.4 from Microsoft. You don't need any Java VM upgrade or Pluggin to play a game of poker. My question is, how do they do it??? are they running some new Java technology or did they just compile the game with the absolute lowest common Java VM denominator??? (somehow, I don't think that's what they have done... cause it's not that simple of an applet). I've tried compiling code with using the -target 1.1 switch but have come accross problems when I try to use certain networking methods.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated, thank you.
