Right back to the early days, I have always marvelled at computer generated
starfields, especially like Star Raiders on the Atari 400/800. So I figured
that I would have to produce my own in
Java 1.1.
When I first started coding this applet, I looked at some of the sample applets
on the
Java Boutique web site, and found
a good sample one made by a guy called Will Schenk which included the full
source. I later completely rewrote and enhanced it to also include some fast
3D wireframe graphics, cool stuff! Key controls: First click on the applet to set the GUI focus. 1,2,3,4,5,6 - sets the starfield direction 0 - turns off the starfield g - toggles wireframe graphics i - toggles applet infomation m - toggles max speed (overides optimized timing) o - toggles optimized timing Return to Main Index |
