Currently the applet may crash on loading under some circumstances (I see this when running in Firefox on one PC) with logging running in the Java Console - which goes poof immediately when the applet crashes. There might be a clue in the logging and this could be a simple issue, but the logging goes poof too fast!

Independent of this issue it would be nice to have a better handle on managing logging for applets. You're supposed to be able to enable extra logging with the Java Console up and I did see a log get created at C:\Users\Cervator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log - but it had nothing but a header in it, as the logging wasn't redirected!

Any (tested!) research into how to make this work better (with any sample applet, doesn't have to be ours) would be appreciated
