This book looks at the two most popular ways of using Java SE 6 to write 3D games on PCs: Java 3D (a high-level scene graph API) and JOGL (a Java layer over OpenGL). 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.
This is the first and only book that covers 3D games programming on PCs using Java 3D and JOGL The book utilizes gaming features offered by the new Java 6 platform, and will be the first to market on Java 6 game development Author, Andrew Davison, is very well-recognized as a Java gaming developer guru from his first book, Killer Game Programming in Java and its Web site and more
