Problem while translating Mesh(JSR 184)

Tue, 6 May 2008 22:36:51 MDT

Hi,
I am developing a 3D game. I have a Mesh and I am trying to translate it using the following code:
public void translate(float dx, float dy, float dz)
{
iTM.get(f);
f[3] += dx; f[7] += dy; f[11] += dz;
iTM.set(f);
}
I have also tried to translate using postTranslate() method of transform.
But translation is not smooth, it is translating with some jurk. I have tried with different timer values, ie in Thread.sleep(delay). I have given different values to delay, I have also tried by involving "dt" ie system currenttime-PrevTime. But still it is having some jurk.
If I give a very small amount of translation then it looks good but it translate very slow, I need a fast translation.
It ma...

Need help with centering screen

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 05:50:55 MDT

Hello,

The game map consists of tiles that are not all on screen. It is a turn based map, where the centre of screen should be the "focus" (The focus is displayed as a red box, highlighting the tile.
Clicking a tile makes the tile the "focus", and should centre the screen, as well as update on the gui the tile location. Does anyone know good tutorials on this, for a turn based game, or what keywords whould i google for?
My last attempt (now deleted) was based on a normal platformer game - "focus" wouldnt centre, and the mouseclicks always showed data on the tiles that are present on the first screen (top left), even if the screen was elsewhere.

thankyou
