Bomberman game: testing needed

haha! I blowed myself up. Go me. I haven't a clue why you have those "start" BAT files. From what I hear, once someone installs the JRE, the JAR files automatically open with JAVAW. start14.bat assumes the folder is:

jdk1.4\bin\

But actually the default is:

j2sdk1.4.0\bin\

Other than that... I blowed myself up. Twice.

Actually bomberman was never meant to be a single player game, beating up your friends is far more challenging than beating up a computerplayer. Making computer players intelligent is not that easy neither. I would have to read a book on AI first, I'm afraid ...

It's a good thing that there aren't a lot of people who understand Dutch ...

There are four possibilities:

1) you picked up the invisible bomb disease

2) you picked up the farting disease/item and flames where created from your behind.

3) the revenge bombs of the players you killed explode automatically after a number of seconds ( you can configure this with the crazy options)

4) the arena fire comes after a configurable time (the grid turns yellow and background music starts): this fire goes up to down and left to right and faster and faster ...

Or did the explosions seem to be really "random" ? The power ups just disappear...
