I have another question. All of the things that you guys make and put on the web opens a new Java program that I've never seen happen before. Why isn't it like Runescape and all the other mini programs that open on a webpage? The ones you guys use have a weird extension... Can someone please clearify?

Quote from: "EgonOlsen"jPCT is a 3d engine written for and in Java, i.e. you are using it if (and only if) you want to create a 3d application like a game or visualization software or a demo applet...stuff like that. You don't need it for learning Java at all.

Well if I learn, which I'm planning to do, I'll definitely make a game. Right now, I'll just let the developers I'm sponsoring do all my dirty work for me http://bio.wiivolve.com/

Anyways, I'm browsing the Java Game forums right now...

EDIT
Question - Why do I need OpenGL for most of the things mentioned on the jPCT forums?

Quote from: "EgonOlsen"Please note that this is a jPCT-related forum, so feel free to ask questions regarding jPCT but for plain java related questions, i suggest to visit the community boards at SUN instead.

I don't even understand how jPCT plays a role in all of these codes...

Wow, really complicated stuff. Even Hello World lol... I would love it if someone can please teach me when and where to use these codes, and what exactly will they do. I'm available on MSN. Add webmaster -at- wiivolve.com

EDIT
Ok well I kept reading until I got stuck. These two confused me the most:

Hi. I was just browsing through Google when I noticed this site. I got interested in Java creation so I downloaded NetBeans and jPCT. I executed some of the examples, such as the FPS and the car, but I'm really new with all these things. I'm excellent in PHP, HTML, and Photoshop, but some of the things used on this forum baffle me, like 3D Studio Max, etc. I'm really new and I wanted to start learning and working with Java, but there aren't enough previously covered topics in the forums.

Ok so I begin. I open NetBeans for the first time, and what do I do? I tried making a new project and then moving all of the files in the cars example folder, but when I did "Run project" it was no good.

If someone can please work with me step by step, I'd really appreciate it. I'm very interested in learning this (I keep repeating lol) so PLEASE help me
