Games Programming with Java and Java 3D
developers and players: commercially successful games, which are fun and exciting to
play, and implemented with Java 3D, would go a long way to persuading developers
to start using Java 3D, and reassure users that they are not riding around in a Model T
Ford.
It is true that Java 3D has been employed in many fewer gaming examples than
OpenGL or DirectX. Nevertheless there are several excellent high profile games and
many low profile examples.
