I get a kick out of making simple little java applets, so I got the idea of putting them in a game, as minigames kind of. If I wanted the applet to know your name, then I could have it passed to it as a parameter in the html. But, how could I have the applet tell DS something?

From the reference, from the world.Topic() entry:
Called when a message is received from another server by using world.Export(). While client.Topic() says: Called when a player connects to a world with a "connection topic" or when the player runs a hyperlink in the current world Despite being named the same, they do different things. =) |

Like all the best things in life. Like gas. Gas = petrol in american english, gas = not-very-dense matter.

The number of times fuel is a subject of conversation these days necessitates a short and simple term. Petrol is an unwieldy word -- and fuel isn't much better -- so I think of "gas" as a far superior way to refer to it in ordinary conversation. In more formal speech, "gas" is almost slang, and should probably be avoided. |

Nevertheless, you are lazy. =P
(And how are you meant to say "gas station" quickly without running it all together like "gastation"? =P ) |

Nevertheless, you are lazy. =P I just normally say "I'm going to get gas". Gas station is still easier to pronounce than petrol station, anyway. Maybe this'd be better off in Off Topic? =P |

In theory, to send data back you could have it try to open a URL starting with byond:// so that it will trigger client/Topic().
