Hi,

I released a new version of CazaPool3D (pool game using java3d features).

Thanks to check it out, and feel free to give me your feedbacks so I can improve the game.

Hi,

I tried to download the game, but the download link failed!!!

true,

I moved my game yesterday and forgot to move the application.zip file (for stand alone)
it’s done now!

I think it’s pretty well done, although pool games are not really my thing (they are for you aren’t they? I saw you did some more of them :)).

Some critique:

  • Use java web start instead of an applet. The applet didn’t fit on my screen. And the game will be locally installed instead of dl-ed every time.
  • The balls moved somewhat sluggish, even though my system should be able to cope with it easily.
  • An easy mouse controlled zoom would be welcome. (something like moving forward/backward with a mouse button pressed).
  • I suppose the view at the top right could be static, so you can use the right mouse button for something else. Also it’s a bit counter intuitive that when you right-click on the 3d view and drag, another view changes.
  • Maybe use the spacebar or something to shoot (holding it down changes powerstrength, releasing it will shoot).

Hi,

thanks for your comments.

about java web start, you’re right, I’m planing to do it.
for an easy mouse controlled zoom, this is already done (clicking and moving up/down with the mouse).
about the power bar, other guys told me about it, and i’m planing to implement it as well.

Thanks a lot again,
Franck
