The Elfball Pitch Test Build is available. You can get the Pitch Test Build now and provide feedback on how quickly the client draws the screen, start up issues, or other things that I'd like to nip in the bud as soon as possible.

You must have an up-to-date java runtime environment to use the client. Otherwise, unzip the Flop.zip file somewhere you can get to it, open the Flop folder, and then double-click on the FlopClient.jar file.

Currently enabled keyboard commands are as follow:

Press "p" to toggle the display of hexes that the ball can be thrown in
Press "l" to toggle the display of hexes that are in-bounds and not the goal
Press "e" to toggle the display of replacement entry hexes
Press "s" to toggle the display of setup hexes
Press the arrows keys to pan the pitch around
Press "r" to reset the pan.

Known issues:
Sorry, I wanted to fix this... but for the time being do not resize the window. It will cause re-sizing issues. Something about the JFrame and the canvas interaction. I'm working it.

Also, I didn't add the zoom. For some reason, detection of mousewheel events is really spotty and the zoom is/was tied to that.

Let me know how it works for you. Be sure to let me know what kind of processor, ram, and video card you have, as well as your operating system (XP, Vista, Linux) and version of Java.
