Ahh Ooh Err What about java?

[hagbard]

Hi, is anyone here interested in a little java demo coding?

Nice to see your still about shockwave, thought you'd dissappeared for good.

Hi Hagbard  I don't think we've had any java yet, if you have any feel free to post them.
There's some really cool Java demos about, my favourite ones are on this website here;

As for me still being around, I guess that it's fate or something! Every time I try to leave I end up coming back so I am kind of resigned to being here now. 

Were you a member of the old board?

The Equinox website in the useful links is a pretty cool place to see effects they've managed to do.

For those wanting to learn and pursue Java, is there any neat reference material about dudes?

You'll want Java SE (standard edition) not EE (enterprise edition).  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html

http://lwjgl.org/Â  <--- The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) is a solution aimed directly at professional and amateur Java programmers alike to enable commercial quality games to be written in Java. LWJGL provides developers access to high performance crossplatform libraries such as OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) and OpenAL (Open Audio Library) allowing for state of the art 3D games and 3D sound. Additionally LWJGL provides access to controllers such as Gamepads, Steering wheel and Joysticks. All in a simple and straight forward API.

oh and in case you didn't already know you can open JAR files with winzip

Looks cool, it reminded me of something soluable fizzing away in some liquid! Probably because the particles were blue. Very nice though Props for including the source.
