Well, after piddling around for I think two years, I finally have something in the area of simulation to post on the project forums.
I put this little "thing" together this morning for my mom.
Here's a screen shot. The island mass and house calmly rotate around the y axis.
Her favorite spot in the world would be on a beach, so I thought why not use my favorite graphics engine to put her there? All in crappy textures.
If you want to try it out. Here it is. The main class is Main and I ran it with -Xmx300m
The jar file does not have the main class specified in the manifest so you have to run it in the command line with say
java -cp jpct.jar;lwjgl.jar;MD.jar -Xmx300m Main
assuming jpct,lwjgl,MD and the lwjgl dll are all in the local directory.
