توسعه بازی‌های ۳ بعدی پرو جاوا ۶: Java 3D، JOGL، JInput و JOAL APIs (صدای کارشناسان در جاوا)

This book is divided into three main sections: Java 3D, nonstandard input devices for game playing,and JOGL. Java 3D is a high-level 3D graphics API based around the construction of a scene graph data structure that contains the objects that appear in the 3D scene. Java 3D topics covered here include how to build your own 3D models, load existing models, create detailed landscapes, display beautiful skies and backgrounds, and have users navigate through the scene, bumping into things as they go. I examine three nonstandard input devices: the webcam, the gamepad, and the P5 data glove—all fun alternatives to the rather boring PC keyboard and mouse. JOGL is a Java wrapper around the popular OpenGL 3D graphics API, which offers a less high- level programming abstraction than Java 3D (in particular, there’s no scene graph to build). JOGL’s closeness to OpenGL means there’s a wealth of existing OpenGL examples, tutorials, and program- ming tips and techniques that can be reused without much recoding. I look at topics similar to those for Java 3D: landscapes, skyboxes, billboards, picking, fog, overlays, and building and loading models.

Create strange lands filled with mysterious objects (cows frozen in blocks of ice, chirping penguins, golden globes with wavering eyes) and throw away your keyboard and mouse, to go exploring armed only with a gamepad, power glove, or just your bare hands�

Java gaming expert Andrew Davison will show you how to develop and program 3D games in Java technology on a PC, with an emphasis on the construction of 3D landscapes. It's assumed you have a reasonable knowledge of Java - the sort of thing picked up in a first Java course at school.

Topics are split into three sections: Java 3D API, non-standard input devices for game playing, and JOGL. Java 3D is a high-level 3D graphics API, and JOGL is a lower-level Java wrapper around the popular OpenGL graphics API.

Youll look at three non-standard input devices: the webcam, the game pad, and the P5 data glove.

Along the way, youll utilize several other games-related libraries including: JInput, JOAL, JMF, and Odejava.

Learn all the latest Java SE 6 features relevant to gaming, including: splash screens, JavaScript scripting as well as the desktop and system tray interfaces.

Unique coverage of Java game development using both the Java 3D API and Java for OpenGL, as well as invaluable experience from a recognized Java gaming guru, will provide you with a distinct advantage after reading this book.

Written by Java gaming expert, Andrew Davison, this book uses the new Java (SE) 6 platform and its features including splash screens, scripting, and the desktop tray interface. This book is also unique in that it covers Java game development using the Java 3D API and Java for OpenGL--both critical components and libraries for Java-based 3D game application development
