Hi,
I just released a game (applet or standalone application) which is a pool game using java3d features.
I’d like to know what you think about CazaPool3D.
www.geocities.com/calzada_us/Billard3D/Pool.html
Thanks a lot,
Franck
“Sorry, this site is temporarily unavailable!
The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.”
Well on geocities, you can’t access a web page if the data size transfered > (specific quota).
I need to move this game out of geocities…
I didn’t try yet, but I will when I get home (where I can install j3d). Screenshots look very promising!
I found the system requirements comment on the site particulary amusing:
“System required: Graphic card is welcome”
;D
Got there now. Looks interesting, though I too gotta install J3D to test it.
And I really suggest to find a better host than geocities, try:
http://www.freewebspace.net/
I moved the game to another web site (automatic transfer is managed from the previous) to:
http://membres.lycos.fr/franckcalzada/Billard3D/Pool.html
where there is no limitation on data transfered size like on geocities (yahoo)

Lots of malformed URL messages and then ultimately this (OS X 10.3.2 Java 1.4.2_03):

wouaw… :-/
I don’t have any clue about this exception…
Did you try to start it with the application or the applet?
I’ll report it anyway.
Thanks for the note.
Franck
Must be the applet, since all I do is visit the page and I get a small dialog reporting on the progress of loading models and such… then that window goes away… just tried again and the last line in the console is “INFO: Game is ready !!!” but there is no GUI anywhere.
I have no clue how you are running this applet… it doesn’t seem to be embedded in the web page anywhere.
the exception had been fixed:

Yep, the exception is gone… but it still doesn’t work at all on OS X 10.3 Java 1.4.2… last thing that prints to the Java console is “INFO: Game is ready!!!”
and then absolutely nothing happens. There is no UI at all.
Why can’t they make Java3D webstartable ::)?
I am on a computer that the admin would blow his top if I started installing software but webstart is fine 
This is not against you caza but to the J3D developers.
Took a while to load (even on DSL connection).
Worked here (if a little slow) on OS X (10.3.3), Java 1.4.2.03. Buttons on the right hand side could be a little smaller so that everything can fit onto my 1024 x 768 laptop screen.

a new version had been released.

I hope it will fix all your issues.

a JWS version had been released.

You haven’t set the MIME type.
Read the webstart tutorial on JGF (link below, in the articles section) on how to do this, and the workarounds if your ISP won’t let you.
The webstart doesn’t work, either. It’s loading basic J3D OK, by the look of things (I normally get an error on loading a Node class), but there’s some missing audio component ???
hi all,
the web site has moved to sourceforge (on multimania it was impossible to add the MIME for java web start).
here are the new links:
http://cazapool3d.sourceforge.net/cazapooljws/Pool.html

franck
PS: if you have issue, thanks to use sourceforge to add bugs/ideas/enhancement/etc…
CazaPool3D had been update with a major version.
