Online Chapter on JOAL

Dear All,

I’ve just added a chapter about JOAL to the Killer Game Programming in Java website at http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/jg/.

It’s Chapter N13. 3D Sound with JOAL, which you’ll find over half way down the page in the Non-standard Input Devices section. It’s there because next week it’ll be joined by chapter N14 which uses JOAL and Java 3D with the P5 glove.

Comments on the chapter are appreciated.

Seeing your topic on JOGL in the other forum reminded me I had to comment on the JOAL one here.

Overall, a good presentation of JOAL and of using and understanding how it all works. I especially liked the parts surrounding the concept of the Listener (analogous to OpenGL’s ‘camera’ metaphor) which reminded me that I was relying on implementation defaults as I wasn’t setting-up my listener in my own app :slight_smile:

Ultraq,

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Dear All,

I’ve updated chapter N13, mentioned at the start of this thread, to use JOAL 1.1.0.
