Which version of Java etc. is required so I can see if that is the problem? Although my version is up to date (I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and it's up to date according to the ppa)
So it uses its own bundled JVM, or it should, anyway.
You can try running the slightly older version 5.2 that uses the system JVM. Not a long term solution though. Have you checked if it produced any error logs?
Thanks. I was able to fix it as 5.2 worked so I took the run.sh script and updated the name of the .jar from Airships.jar to game.jar and then used that to run the latest version with the system JVM.
It didn't appear to ever produce any error logs. I'll check that this is working properly though. I presume you'll want to work out why the bundled JVM isn't working correctly. (My brother's just worked under ArchLinux, this must be the first time something was easier to do on Arch than Ubuntu :P )
It seems to be working correctly although sometimes I have a weird bug where when I load the game clicking on the main menu options just takes me to 'New Game' regardless of which button I click and other issues.
Restarting the game fixes it though - although one would hope that the program wasn't probablilistic in nature.

When I run the game using ./Airships I get the following output:
And then nothing happens.

Yeah, exactly - the bundled JVM approach is meant to make things easier, after all. :)

Still it's an awesome game. :)
