Author Racing Clock using Java App on Windows

2006-05-14, 7:06 pm

Anyone seen this? When running Tank Hunter (game at pogo.com which
uses Java Script), my system clock begins racing and the game plays
too fast to keep up without getting a headache. The game used to run
fine. If I recall, there was a recent upgrade to Java that I
installed as recomended -- I just love Windows. I have to reboot the
computer to get the clock back to normal speed.

Thanks,
Brian

Java is not JavaScript.

I checked out this Tank Hunter game, and it is indeed written in Java
(and not JavaScript). If you go to Pogo you have to sign up to play. To play
it without signup, you can go to http://www.javagameplay.com/th.html

I played through the first 3 levels and couldn't reproduce the system
clock vulnerability attack bug thingy that the OP reported.
