TeVi FAQ

The graphics are not smooth (using Windows).

Although you have a fast computer the graphics are jerky. The reason for this is that the Windows version of the Java method System.currentTimeMillis() delivers only very coarse time information. If, for example, 7 ms have passed since two calls to that method, you could get a 0 ms or a 50 ms difference. The newer your copy of Windows, the better the results.

The Applet takes rather long to start.

Running under Windows the Applet takes longer to start than under Linux. The problem is either the initialization of the graphics mode or the decoding of the bitmap files. Newer versions of the JDK and Java 3D improve this situation.

Sometimes the Applet does not react to key presses.

This can happen, when the Applet has lost the focus. Just click into the graphics window.
