The applet requests focus when initializing, but sometimes it somehow fails. In an earlier stage, I've had the program request focus each frame update, but then the applet took away the focus from other elements on the page (such as the address bar, that was quite annoying) I should look further into it, or maybe add a 'Focus' command and leave it up to the user.
Usually, I think, in applets, games have a title screen or game menu that should be clicked on with the mouse.
