Really good! ;D

Didn’t work :frowning:

That is an immensely frustrating game. If I hit the back of a car I get flung back through other cars, and I seem to have two speeds: stopped or moving, which means that passing the first big cluster of cars if I don’t get perfectly lined up I have to sit and let them get away from me to have space to steer back into line.

That looks like a bug in the Sun class loader :o

Java version? Browser version? OS?

#6

It’s a very well known bug (so familiar that I didn’t realise it was a bug until I just looked at the doc). The tag’s code attribute shouldn’t end in .class, despite what the doc says.

#7

The plugin basically does a heuristic… it makes more and more variations of that the URL might be like, until it runs out. It’s a big mess, but it’s probably there for backwards-compatibility.

I updated my web pages, omitting .class in the applet tags. I assumed that it was failing under Mac OS X because of pack200. If it is due to this, then that’s actually great news. I thought I was going to have to deploy an uncompressed version as well.

#9

Maybe so. Now it can’t find class a… so it could be pack200.

Write once, run anywhere, right? Ugh.

I made it to the Ice track :slight_smile:

Oooh, those cars that swerve into you!!! Brilliant frustrating fun!

#14

Good job!! I am still amazed how you did that 3D stuff without using any 3D libraries!

#15

zeroone is no stranger to homegrown 3D. If you think this is cool, you should check out his labyrinth post … http://meatfighter.com/labyrinth/

#16

Thanks a bunch! However, that is too complicated for me to understand :stuck_out_tongue:
Lacunarity? Gamma?! FBM?!? Fractional Brownian Motion?!?!
I thought I was quite a good programmer until I saw that :frowning:

When I get a chance, I will post a detailed description of the algorithm. Until then, my other post on 3D graphics, http://meatfighter.com/juggler/, may provide some insight.

Dude I’m still in 10th grade in High School and I just started trigonometry!
All this advanced math (calculus!!) is too much. I guess I will have to wait until I learn all this in school sigh :frowning:

Doh!

There is actually very little calculus involved. It’s mainly trigonometry, geometry and linear algebra. Pay attention in trig class. :slight_smile:

Ooooh I LOVE trig. In fact I LOVE math! :slight_smile:
