Having problems with PlayGame.jar or ShowGame.jar?

[justicer]

I have Debian with the following java installed:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

tools/PlayGame.jar works fine, but tools/ShowGame.jar display just blank rectangle and none more. Same for tools/ShowGame-1.2.jar
No errors are displayed, just blank rectangle.

Could you please help me?

Please add debugging option to PlayGame.jar to have some log on what reason one bot is a winner and another is loser. (i.e. bot crush, invalid move, timeout and so on, the more debugging the better, mb tunable), current log.txt is uninformative at all (only word 'initializing' in it).

Cause of i suddenly get my simulation stopped when it is just started and i cannt find the clue where is the error
Thanks!

No problem with example bots by the way.

@Homeboy

I had exactly the same error message and then I realised, that I did a mistake while typing the command.
I use linux and cpp starter package.
Instead of "./MyBot" I typed "MyBot".

Maybe adding "./" will help with java package as well.

try

export LC_ALL=C
export LC_NUMERIC=C

before all the other commands in console session in linux.
Tools honour national float formats while bots do not
