Known Issues

All sound has been a constant source of frustration. The background music requires the Java Media Framework which is included in the jar-file but can also be downloaded from here. Also, the MP3 support in Java is very poor.
It seems like Oracle has stopped supporting the MP3 encoding plugin, it is therefore directly included in the zip-archive and you can also download the corresponding JAR file directly from this website by clicking on the link below.
