3D Driver -- 3D, first-perspective driving simulator built with JDK1.01
Overview: This applet was done as an experiment to determine how fast a Java applet could run. It simulates a 3-d, first-person driving perspective, with curves, hills, and
bidirectional traffic.
To do: I had more plans for the 3-d engine itself, however the JVM's can barely handle the class now. If I can tighten the code some more, or possibly convert to JDK1.3 (with the
client-side HotSpot performance engine), I may have enough "cpu cycles" left to do a bit more with it.
For those of you who have seen the 3d Driver before, there's been some other small updates to it -- Primarily, for the "speed freaks" amongst us -- The new top speed is now 150, instead of the 100 it ...
