    If you think retreads of "Mr. Do" and "Snake" are going to cut it in the Java space from now on, think again. You might like to look at Superscape's site for a taste of the kind of 3D games that are already out there.

    Looks like poorly disguised retreads of Qix are fine, though?

    Oh wait, it's got a hot girl in a bikini in it! Feel that innovation! Tssssssss!

    There is just no comparison between the PSP and a mobile phone (using your links and the psp comparision in the original summrary)

  3. 3D Handsets by seanellis · · Score: 5, Interesting · on A Look at Java 3D Programming for Mobile Devices

    Quite a few handsets already support M3G, among them the Siemens S65, Motorola E680, E1000, V980, SonyEricsson V800 and K750i, and the Nokia 6630 and 6680.

    M3G is a lot lighter weight than Java3D, has high and low level APIs, and has its own compact file format for efficient packaging of assets.

    I've been developing M3G technology, both engines and games, since day 1 (I was our company's representative on the expert group), and I am happy that Slashdot has at last highlighted it.

    Developers might also want to visit Benhui.net's 3D Developer Forum.

    Superscape has been doing this sort of tech for about two years, now.

  5. JSR 184 by cindy · · Score: 1 · on 3-D Gaming on Your Cellphone

    You should check out JSR 184: Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME. This appears to be a "J2ME-ized" subset of Java3D. Nokia has a reference implementation. AFAIK the first commercial implmentation of JSR 184 is Swerve from Superscape.

  6. An Oldie, but a Goodie by DerKlempner · · Score: 1 · on Solar System Simulator

    About two years ago, National Geographic released their version of the Virtual Solar System on their web site. It requires a Superscape plugin called Viscape (sorry, Windows and Mac only) to work properly. Download the Viscape plugin, install, and then visit National Geographics "Virtual Solar System" web site to check out a 3D-rendered tour of the solar system with information on all the planets and about 50% of the moons, some asteroids, some comets, and the sun (of course). It not only has a 3D-rendered environment to navigate, but also various information about those same heavenly bodies. Very in-depth and well done, and is a great resource for learning about the various bodies in our solar system and how they interact.
