3D Graphics - Inaccurate Results Using GluLookAt (LWJGL)
Jun 16, 2014
I've recently started programming with lwjgl, playing around with some 3D graphics. I've built a house and now I'm trying to render a view looking straight onto the center of the roof, but with current configuration it's slightly off.
As you can see in the image the edges on the roof aren't perfetly straight which would be the case if I was looking straight to the center from a point on the roof normal vector. I'm using gluLookAt to get the view, using the following code:
gluLookAt(house.getRoofCenter().x + house.getRoofNormal().x * 0.25f,
house.getRoofCenter().y + house.getRoofNormal().y * 0.25f,
house.getRoofCenter().z + house.getRoofNormal().z * 0.25f,
house.getRoofCenter().x, house.getRoofCenter().y, house.getRoofCenter().z, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
And for the normals:
Vector3f.sub(p2, p1, a);
Vector3f.sub(p3, p1, B)/>/>/>;
Vector3f.cross(a, b, c);
roofNormal = new Vector3f(-c.x, -c.y, -c.z);
and center:
roofCenter = new Vector3f((p3.x + p1.x) / 2, (p3.y + p1.y) / 2, (p3.z + p1.z) / 2);
My question is: Is this due to errors in the rendering methods or is my math off?

I'm doing a program where a user enters in exam results for students. Once he's entered the code, the code should split the results in stars in 4 categories.
I am working with a while loop that prints out infinite results. What I want to do is, if the user enters 2 digits, say "12", it should output 1 "*".
If the user enters "21" and "22", it should output "**".
There are 4 categories of marks which are marked with ints range1, range2, range3 and range4, which are user enter digits. Part 1 of the code is to split the user entered digits into its correct ranges. the ranges are 0-29, 30-39, 40-69 and 70-100. I've done the part where when the user enters a digit, it goes into the correct variable. After that when the user enters a digit over 100, the enter results should show up as stars. For example
Enter number =
21
22
44
66
44
23
11
111 (the 111 is where the program breaks and moves on)
So it should then display
0-29 ****
30-39
40-69 ***
70-100
Whatever I'm trying, it displays an infinite amount of stars. If I try to use break, It only outputs a single star, no matter how many digits I enter
Here is the code
int mark = 0;
int range1 = 0, range2 = 0, range3 = 0, range4 = 0;
int count1 = 0, count2 = 0, count3 = 0, count4 = 0;
while (mark >=0 && mark <=100) {
[Code] .....
"The problem is with the while loop, the one above is something I was experimenting with "

I wanted to create a simple window with the LWJGL and a key input request which closes the window.I also wanted to create the classes in seperated packages, so it's more organized.The window displays but if I press that certain key nothing happens.Here is the Main class:
package bb.main;
import bb.input.Input;
import bb.main.render.SimpleRenderer;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
SimpleRenderer createWindow = new SimpleRenderer();
Inputinput= new Input();

I wanted to use 16x16 pixel images in my game to make it look more "pixely", but the images get really blurry when they're rendered. How do I make them clearer?
Java Code:

import org.lwjgl.opengl.*;
import org.lwjgl.*;
import org.lwjgl.input.Mouse;
import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;
import org.newdawn.slick.opengl.Texture;

import java.io.*;
public class Test{
int DISPLAY_WIDTH = 1000, DISPLAY_HEIGHT = 500;

I'm looking for a working example of shadow mapping with java code using shaders. There are so many c++ or c tutorials out there but i haven't managed to rewrite them since I'm too bad in c/c++. I've been trying to implement this a long time but can't get the hang of it. Any example out there? Preferably as sstripped down as possible except for the shadow mapping.

I'm trying to export a runnable jar file that requires lwjgl. Everything works in eclipse as I'm using
-Djava.library.path=nativewindows
as a VM Argument for the jinput .dll files.
After exporting & launching the jar it doesn't work of course! I get this error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no junput-dx8 in java.library.path
I'm not sure how to make it work outside of eclipse....

I am currently working on a Minecraft clone (called "Build"), and I'm trying draw just ONE simple dirt block, but it will only draw a square!
Here is the main class:
package game;
import game.block.DirtBlock;
import org.lwjgl.LWJGLException;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.Display;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.DisplayMode;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;
[Code] ....
And the Block class ( the one that all Block Types are based off of):
package game;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;
import org.newdawn.slick.opengl.Texture;
import org.newdawn.slick.opengl.TextureLoader;
import org.newdawn.slick.util.ResourceLoader;
[Code] ....
And that is the code, I'll make updates as needed.

PB.start();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

It shows nothing. But when I tried
new ProcessBuilder("uname");
I gets a result ....

He said that if you need something that Swing can't provide, like a bar graph, you build it. Now, being used to just writing a method that will open up a JFrame, how you would actually build graphics on your own. How in the world would that work? How would one write their own methods to make a window or to build a graph?

I am attempting to create a n-body simulation using orbital dynamics and Java in school.
I am only in high-school, but I have some programming experience. The logic of this program comes quite easily. My problem is the graphical part, so I was just looking for quick methods to implement graphics.
What I am looking to do, is display objects onto the screen and manipulate their respective x and y coordinates as time pass. I have tried to use BufferedImages and an array of every pixel on the screen, but it quickly becomes extremely hard to draw circles etc. I have also tried the Graphics class and using g.fillOval() etc, but this can also get tedious.
Are there any more efficient methods, libraries etc? And also, how should I use the time variable, a variable that updates everytime the program updates?

I need to print certain information from an arraylist depending on the arguments the method has. I'm trying to print the last 3 methods from the database class but nothing is printing and I don't know what the problem is.
package hw3;
import java.util.*;
public class Driver {
public static void main(String[] args){
/* Comments required
PersonFileReader pfr = new PersonFileReader("person.dat");
ArrayList<Person> testData = pfr.readData();
Database db = new Database(testData);
*/
[Code] .....
On the driver class I just print what the methods from the database class do.

I have to write a program for class that basically uses Paint Component to draw a bunch of rectangles to look like a building then have them change color randomly. I am stuck I can't figure out how to make it draw the rectangles in rows and columns to look like the building i can make it display multiple squares randomly however but thats not the assignment.. here is my code
package labBuilding;

How to rotate a shape in Swing? The only thing I found was something involving this, but I have not seen something like this before:
Java Code : Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
I see this is an object reference, but what is on the right side? Does not seem like a method, as it would not equal a method nor would the parentheses be on the left. Why are parentheses there? Disregarding the above code, I would like to know how to rotate without Graphics 2d
Also, with G2D you it will not allow for setting x coords

So I'm doing a project for my CS class where we have to create a snowman doing something. My picture is of Vince Young in the 2005 Rose Bowl. I'm trying to make the actual video clip from Youtube (do I need to download it? If so I can do that) appear on the scoreboard, but how.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Font.*;
class snowBackground
{
public static void drawField(Graphics g, Color field)
[code]....
There are 3 other files that make the actual Snowmen.Also, would I need to download the mp3 sound file seperately and play that, or will inserting the video do both?

I used to think that it is simplly a tool to use to change colors and draw to specific container(ie JFrame, JPanel). However, I've been studying buffering (triple, double, flipping...etc) and how it works for 3 days now, and my confusion has only increased. for instance, why when we need to draw to the buffer(ie BufferStrategy, BufferedImage) we get its own graphics object to draw to it and then we project it to the screen? does the Graphics Object represent the drawing surface (ie the JPanel it self if we're using one to draw custom painting via JPanel#paintComponent(Graphics g)) ? so generally speaking if we are using a JPanel and we say bufferedImage#createGraphics and use that graphics object to draw to, we would not be drawing to the JPanel but to the BufferedImage correct?

Page flipping is used in full screen games which entails drawing an imagine off screen then swap with on screen image after drawing has completed.
Is it possible to write a block of code to actually see this happen? Like use this technique on a window that is in windowed mode. Would it draw an image off somewhere by the desktop or would it have to be on the window?

I have a .java file which has been built into a .class file, and now I want this to be called on the click of a button on the HTML page. Is 'applet' the answer to this ? I searched around this question on the internet prior to posting but every applet tutorial I see is related to graphics and drawing blocks etc. my java file does not have any graphics, it's just a simple stand-alone code which opens a file and displays it's contents on the terminal. Would like to now see the output on the browser.
