joode demos frozen

Game Mechanics
#1

Hi Guys

I now have joode working with xith3d, but I’m finding that most of the demos are “frozen” and do not appear to progress in time. (e.g. the solar system sim). Am I missing something such as a properties file or something in my setup or do I need to do something to trigger the sim? I’m running them from the JOODETestLauncher in eclipse 3.3 on a windows XP platform. I get the first frame rendered no problem and it seems to be running but nothing is moving.

Any help much appreciated
Cheers

You can click the mouse to enable the FirstPersonInputHandler. This way you can see, that frames are really generated. So, if you can move in the scene, the simulation is the problem. Otherwise you Computer may be too slow, which I don’t think, since the demos are pretty cheap.

I can move around in the scene. It seems to be the simulation itself that is frozen. I’m pretty certain it is “running” properly. It is just that nothing is moving in any of the demos. I was wondering if there is a default “time step” config parameter that is set to zero somewhere, or something that JOODE relies on for this purpose?

I have added a new xith3d.jar. The examples are working now.
