Subject: [JAVA3D] Real Time Java3d
Physics Engine
I am making a Physics Engine that will use 4th
order RungaKutta Object to
calculate Differential equations. I have
hooked up the engine to a Java3d
simulation and I am producing a real time
applet that models a simple
pendulum. I have been successful on Linux
boxes but when I run the applet
on a windows box i have problems
synchronizing the engine
(using System.CurrentTimeMillis();) with the local
processor... Apparently
this is because Windows system clock does not
resolve below the 50
millisecond mark. I have made a quick fix for
this, but i would like to
know if there is a better timer via a java API
that i could use... I have
been looking into using an Alpha object
but i want to know how this works,
unfortunately i cannot find the src code
for javax.media.j3d.* Any help
would be greatly
appreciated.
P.S This is intended as a preliminary experiment to make a
network centric,
true physics, java3d game. I will be writing a
simple flight simulator with
this where the calculations take place on a
remote server dedicated to
housing the physics engine... and the rendering
in real time will be done on
the local client machine through a web
browser... I'll post the applet if
anyone is
interested...
