JavaOne Driving Game

At the JavaOne Video Game forum today, I saw a "driving" game, supposedly written using Java3D, and I was wondering if anyone else saw it, and if the app is available in either compiled or source form.

No idea, I was just pointing out that this was a racing game demonstrated a the JavaOne conference.

"At this years JavaOne conference, the worlds largest developer/programmer conference, SUN Microsystems is showcasing the two game demos from Agency9 as flagships for the speed and quality of Java Gaming."

"Those who thought that Java was too slow for gaming had their fears put to rest at the JSR-134 Java Gaming Profile technical session, in which a first person car racing game was demo'd to the audience. The game rivalled the quality of your typical Play Station 2 arcade game, running at an impressive 6t0 frames per second."

The OP could always email them and find out if they are that bothered :).

probably isn't in Java3D. Agency 9 said they developed their own engine with Java..

Yes, this was the one I saw. Thanks. I believe they did use Java 3D though, or at least that seemed to be the claim...Okay, so no source available, which was ultimately my goal.

PowerLaneDemo is now available for download at http://www.agency9.se

It is based on AgentFX Platform (first version) developed by Agency9 (not Java 3D).

That previous version of AgentFX used GL4Java as OpenGL-wrapper and supported BSP/PVS for spatial subdivision. Levels could be done in qeradiant (regular Quake III editor and BSP compiler).

AgentFX™ 2 Platform (the new version of the engine) has been release. When we designed it our intention was to address the shortcomings of some known scene graphs (Java3D among others).

We are releasing the API documentation and a Personal Learning Edition of AgentFX 2 for personal download and test. It will also be available to purchase and download single user licenses online. Check out:

http://www.agency9.se/agentfx

This is the first beta version and some of the features are marked as experimental. The engine has a clean interface for developers and a large variety of features such as dynamic lighting, octree spatial subdivision (BSP/PVS is no longer available), portal system and a character animation system with skeleton-based animations. Bump maps and real-time shadows are also available but are currently marked as "experimental".

Download and have fun...

There was a java3D racing demo by FullSail shown at JavaOne about 4 years ago that was never released or shown to anyone outside the show, proving quite controvertial among the j3d/game writing scene at the time.

Aha... Thanks for clearing that up. I tried to search on the net for FullSail driving game without any luck. Anyone has any idea where it can be found?

No - it was never released or shown to anyone outside the show.

Java programming resources: FAQs, tutorials, compiler and browser download sites, documentation, books lists, IDEs, etc.
