    Building a Java First-Person Shooter

    3D Java Game Programming – Episode 0 Building a Java First-Person Shooter Episode 0 [Last update: 5/03/2017] These notes are intended to accompany the video sessions being presented on the youtube channel “3D Java Game Programming” by youtube member “The Cherno” at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL656DADE0DA25ADBB. I created them as a way to review the material and explore in more depth the topics presented. I am sharing with the world since the original work is based on material freely and openly available. Note: These notes DO NOT stand on their own, that is, I rely on the fact that you viewed and followed along the video and may want more information, clarification and or the material reviewed from a different perspective. The purpose of the videos is to create a first-person shooter (FPS) without using any Java frameworks such as Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL), LibGDX, or jMonkey Game Engine. The advantages to creating a 3D FPS game without the support of specialized game libraries that is to limit yourself to the commonly available Java classes (not even use the Java 2D or 3D APIs) is that you get to learn 3D fundamentals. For a different presentation style that is not geared to following video episodes checkout my notes/book on “Creating Games with Java.” Those notes are more in a book format and covers creating 2D and 3D games using Java in detail. In fact, I borrow or steal from these video episode notes quite liberally and incorporate into my own notes. Prerequisites You should be comfortable with basic Java programming knowledge that would be covered in the one- semester college course.

    Nethomura Deployment Platform and Networking Middleware Is Still Evolving

    Networking Middleware and Online-Deployment Mechanisms for Java-based Games Chris Carter1, Dr Abdennour El Rhalibi1, Prof. Madjid Merabti1, Dr Marc Price2 (1) School of Computing & Mathematical Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Byrom Street, Liverpool, L3 3AF, UK [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] (2) BBC Research and Development. Kingswood Warren, Tadworth, Surrey, KT20 6NP, UK [email protected] Abstract. Currently, web-based online gaming applications are predominately utilising Adobe Flash or Java Applets as their core technologies. These games are often casual, two- dimensional games and do not utilise the specialist graphics hardware which has proliferated across modern PCs and Consoles. Multi-user online game play in these titles is often either non-existent or extremely limited. Computer games applications which grace the current generation of consoles and personal computers are designed to utilise the increasingly impressive hardware power at their disposal. However, these are commonly distributed using a physical medium or deployed through custom, proprietary networking mechanisms and rely upon platform-specific networking APIs to facilitate multi-user online game play. In order to unify the concepts of these disparate styles of gaming, this paper presents two interconnected systems which are implemented using Java Web Start and JXTA P2P technologies, providing a platform-independent framework capable of deploying hardware accelerated cross-platform, cross-browser online-enabled Java games, as part of the Homura Project. Keywords: Web Technologies, Distributed Systems, Java, Homura, NetHomura, Java Monkey Engine, jME, Java Web Start, Deployment, JXTA, Peer to Peer Networking, P2P Games.

For these reasons, performance and architecture are becoming a crucial point in web development.
  • Advanced 3D Visualization for Simulation Using Game Technology

    Advanced 3D Visualization for Simulation Using Game Technology

    Proceedings of the 2011 Winter Simulation Conference S. Jain, R. R. Creasey, J. Himmelspach, K. P. White, and M. Fu, eds. ADVANCED 3D VISUALIZATION FOR SIMULATION USING GAME TECHNOLOGY Jonatan L. Bijl Csaba A. Boer TBA B.V. Karrepad 2a 2623 AP Delft, Netherlands ABSTRACT 3D visualization is becoming increasingly popular for discrete event simulation. However, the 3D visu- alization of many of the commercial off the shelf simulation packages is not up to date with the quickly developing area of computer graphics. In this paper we present an advanced 3D visualization tool, which uses game technology. The tool is especially fit for discrete event simulation, it is easily configurable, and it can be kept up to date with modern computer graphics techniques. The tool has been used in several container terminal simulation projects. From a survey under simulation experts and our experience with the visualization tool, we concluded that realism is important for some of the purposes of visualization, and the use of game technology can help to achieve this goal. 1 INTRODUCTION Simulation is the process of designing a model of a concrete system and conducting experiments with this model in order to understand the behavior of the concrete system and/or evaluate various strategies for the operation of the system (Shannon 1975). Although the simulation experiment can produce a large amount of data, the visualization of a simulated system provides a more complete understanding of its behavior. In the visualization, key elements of the system are represented on the screen by icons that dynamically change position, color and shape as the simulation evolves through time (Law and Kelton 2000).

COM Java Game Developer Job Interview Preparation Guide. Question # 1 What is the 'Platform independence 'properties of java? Answer:- The very essence of the platform independence of Java lies in the way the code is stored, parsed and compiled - bytecode. Since these bytecodes run on any system irrespective of the underlying operating system, Java truly is a platform-independent programming language. Read More Answers. Question # 2 Tell us what will you bring to the team? Answer:- I will bring a large amount of support to the team, I endeavour to make sure my team reaches the goal they so desperately need. I feel that adding me to the team will bring our performance up a notch. Read More Answers. Question # 3 Tell us is Game Development Subcontracted? Answer:- I was having a conversation with someone who believed that components of a games code where subcontracted out to programmers in different countries where it would be cheaper, then assembled by the local company. I understand that people often use pre-built engines but I would think that making the actual game would require people to work closely in the same studio. Read More Answers. Question # 4 Tell me is There A Portal Dedicated To Html5 Games? Answer:- Just to get something straight; by "portal", I mean a website that frequently publishes a certain type of games, has a blog, some articles, maybe some tutorials and so on. All of these things are not required (except the game publishing part, of course), for example, I consider Miniclip to be a flash game portal.

Not vertices – Think content… not rendering process. • Not necessary to tell when to draw, just tell what to draw – Retained mode • This does not mean you do not need to understand what is going on underneath • This is a programming course TWi Feb 15 What does jME do? • Uses OpenGL, and features a modern shader based architecture (GLSL) • Organises your scene with a scene graph data structure • Transformations and mathematics • jME performs rendering optimisations – View frustum culling – State sorting – Batching • jME is single threaded • jME is NOT thread safe.
