My Christmas present, some codebases under the GPL for 3D games, look at asteris http://code.google.com/p/asteris/downloads/list (it includes jumping now with the z key) for enlarging the codebases :

Final fantasy 2 , rather poorly written but OK :
http://code.google.com/p/angels-destiny-rpg/downloads/list

3D JOGL game :
http://code.google.com/p/spaceodyssey3d/downloads/list

LWGJL codebase :
http://code.google.com/p/demonworld/downloads/list

Enjoy!

Camera.java now contains a quaternion 3D rotation and movement functionality. There are quaternion and regular cos/sin matrix functions for use in 3D environments. I stole some pieces from the Game Prog wiki. It is very easy to understand the code.

Latest tarballs are here :

Enjoy.

Here's a small example, see javaglgame.tgz, look for things in Game.java and read the README:
http://code.google.com/p/demonworld/downloads/list

I started work on a 3D engine for fast Java based machines, future-oriented. It uses pure Java code with AWT for drawing. It's my 4th 3D engine.

There's vector and matrix classes now with rotation and translation. No usable demo has been made yet.

Here's the site :

http://code.google.com/p/3djengine/downloads/list

The API suits my style of programming more and is better IMHO. In JOGL you have to have a drawable or an animator before you can start using GL functionality, in LWJGL everything is very finely layered. Plus things for games such as vertex groups and so on. I think it's a neater lib than JOGL. Android supports it too IIRC.

I have provided the project to a codebase for LWJGL instead of JOGL (better portability). It is stored here : http://code.google.com/p/demonworld/downloads/list

Now I need to texture map this :

If you save/set a direction variable each time you move (e.g. with a key release/press left arrow key), your direction stays put when you stop. It still is set to the last direction you were moving in. Then check your direction variable when painting/drawing your char, if it is, say "left" (in Java: if (direction == "left") { drawleftplayer image(x-20,...) }, then you can draw -20 to the left for the right shooting/clubbing image. As simple as that  

There's a fading opening screen (press X or Z to start game) then there's a preliminary tube which must be textured and then there's shooting by pressing z, bullets fly towards positive Z for now. See the README for details. Latest tarball is here : http://code.google.com/p/spaceodyssey3d/downloads/list

Cheers!

I have the vertices of a walking tube now, I am probably going to write my own texture mapper as the GL version is a bit out of date. Here's a picture :

The source code is very easy to understand is what I mean. Read it and you can make yourself a platform shooter game.

There's a BoundingBox class which extends gateways (doors) and bullets. You have collision checks for bullets with enemies, bullets remove themselves offscreen, then you have a level map with falling off a list of boundingboxes with easy collision detection, no jumping (just make a list of coords to implement it if you like) and then have a look at StateImageLibrary.java which gets an image from a list of images one after the other placed in that very same list at level startup time. There's midi music support and everything is GPLed. Oh, and the Metroid dude images have been paid for for this game.

Here's the latest tarballs : http://code.google.com/p/asteris/downloads/list

Enjoy.

Take the latest tarball here or use the git repo :
http://code.google.com/p/libjavablender/downloads/list

It should be more or less usable except for 1 bug. Can be sped up. Enjoy.

I really like the dormant snail house! You could make a Lantern Fish out of it for an underwater level.

I have implemented some drawing primitives as I'm not going to use glu glut and GL textures. I'm currently working on the cylindrical meshes where Samus runs through in the Metroid other M game ... I wonder if those pipe walkways are intellectual property of Nintendo or other companies ?
I wonder if I can use the pipe walkway concept with other textures or not ?

Here's the half circle horizon picture which can be rotated with left and right arrow keys :

The Blender model reader is turned off ATM.

Latest source code tarballs are here : http://code.google.com/p/spaceodyssey3d/downloads/list

There's keyboard bindings now which rotate the terrain with each keypress. Basically I have to load some terrain and player character models, then implement movement on a map and the engine is done. Then I need to make levels etc.
Here's a screenshot:

Enjoy!

Yes, the .blend file lib is almost finished, I'm currently working on the 3D game (a la Metroid M) and I provide codebases for all of you. Everything is open source  

The code is more or less usable to extract all vgroup[XXX...] vertex arrays except for 1 bug and except for scene parsing. Here is the latest tarball : http://code.google.com/p/libjavablender/downloads/list

You can run the commented main method with 'java javablender/Blender monkeys.blend'.

HTH

After it works, I'll try to speed it up e.g. the String filebuffer->char[], I'm using the monkeys.blend file, version 2.61.

Yes, there's header parsing and file-block parsing but no SDNA, no scene functionality yet. Do note that the first versions were written out of the blue, I misinterpreted some things.


I've put it in the git repo : git clone https://code.google.com/p/libjavablender/ with better parsing than before.

Colors are in and some bugfixes. The lib is more or less finished. Needs a fast machine. There's a main method commented out for your convenience.

Hi,

I've started a new 3D game using JOGL (jogamp.org), it can load vertices from one scene in a .blend (see blender.org) file format. I hope I can manage to bring something from Metroid M inside it with free artwork.

Here's the picture :

More updates later on. Enjoy!

To load the vertices of a .blend file from one scene for use in JOGL (you don't need jogl to build it though) I wrote this Java library, see http://code.google.com/p/libjavablender/downloads/list
for source code. You just have to contruct triangles with 3 vertices at a time in the generated list to display your .blend model. Enjoy!

The sprites are from http://rpgrevolution.com/, you can ask for their license, but everything on the site is regular open content. See their resources in the menu at the left. Enjoy.

Midi music is in with 1 song for level1XXX and there's gateway and level changing support.

Here is the latest tarball :
http://code.google.com/p/asteris/downloads/list

Enjoy

Yes I did.
You send some emails, pay for it and that's it. Nobody can use the pics except me but you may play the game.

I've bought the full metroid fusion sprites from Nintendo BTW.
I will try to use as much open artwork as I can. The Samus (player character) graphics for example is copyrighted so you can play my game with it but unfortunately I cannot pay for all of you. The dimensions of the graphics files are however set in their respective filenames, e.g. player-left-40x40-1.png, see the pics/ directory.

Thanks for commenting.

The graphics are Open Content except for the houses. I have however bought the house graphics as I have bought the full sprite set of A Link to the past (zelda) from nintendo.


I might need to rework the engine but for a complete codebase it's OK though. The timer should be fine but your Java version does not calibrate well apparently.

Hi,

I am working on a Metroid Fusion based game,
I implemented fall and collision detection + movement. The game
is hosted here : http://code.google.com/p/asteris/

Source code etc. Tarballs are here : http://code.google.com/p/asteris/downloads/list



Enjoy!

Level 1, the start town, is almost finished. You can enter the priest and herbist buildings. You can exit the map to level 2  (overworld) and there's 3 party members now. There's midi music support in SimpleMidiPlayer.java and 3 music files.
You can get into combat on the overworld. Then I am working on a thief lair, which is accessible through a dungeon hole on the overland map. For making non player characters you best look at ElfGreen.java as an example and Slime classes for monsters in battle mode. You have to fill in all possible answers of your non player characters and set which one replies to each possible learn-ask-item variable.

Here are some pictures :








The game is open source, java code is in.
