I haven't been able to find much in the way of documentation on this
subject, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a physics simulation running which simulates the gravitational
interaction of a bunch of masses in 3d space. That simulation code is
entirely mathematical and runs in its own thread, producing a set of 3d
positions every time it runs.
Those 3d positions are then used to set the positions of some objects in
a java3d scene. Basically I take the x,y,z position that the math thread
calculated and shove it into the transform of the java3d object.
Everything works OK for a little while, but then the java3d thread comes
to a screeching halt, while the simulation thread continues to run.
Is this a thread locking issue? Is it not good to modify the transforms
of java3d objects without some sophisticated thread synching? If I don't
run the simulation thread, the java3d thread will run without problems,
so I know it is the interaction between the two that is the problem.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Please help, I've been banging my head against this one for a while, but
I have had no luck.
Pointers to documentation or examples would be great.
