Hi,
I'm trying to build a simulation environment for an artificial life project and I'd prefer not to use a JApplet.
My previous experience with
Applets (I wrote a beat 'em up game for an under graduate project) was from a couple of years ago and I've been doing a lot of C++ programming since, so I have forgotten a lot.
I'd like to be able to display my simulation (I guess it would be like running a game in the Frame) - a moving robot around a 2D maze - and also include buttons for the user to pause the simulation as well as bring up other Frames with statistical information.
I'd also like to be able to network more than one simulation, I know there is a security issue with trying to network Applets in
java though.
I'd also prefer to be able to run the simulation from a jar file.
While I don't have a lot of time to code this project I'd prefer if someone could send me links for tutorials than actually tell me explicitly how to go about it. I've been going through the tutorials on the Sun site but I have to say that I find them a bit hard to follow.
Thanks very much for your time,
Anthony
