wsalam
ok heres my idea...
1. I would read the whole file at once and put it in the array
2. u can modify the array as u like. cause u wanted like FORWARD 10 or RIGHT
45degrees
3. pass the array in the constructor of the behavior or make a method.
4. and I think instead of making another timer now you should use alpha
inside the timer.
So what I mean is that u know the original position and the destination
pass that to
the Alpha. (just my suggetion)
5. For collision detection theres a demo which comes with Java3d demo
I am passing this to the disscussion group so everone could benifit. or add
something if they want

Simulation
Hello Ahmed, Assalamu alaikum,
I had a look at the maze progrm that you posted -my knowlegde of Java3D is
limited and I dont think I could help you. I do appreciate the amount of
help you have give me so far.
I had a look at to files..you implemented the reading in from an array of
the commands, I couldnt figure out how to do that then pass it to the the
processStimulus method. Thanks.
So far I have I have got the commands being read in from a text file.
Im now working on two things at the moment:
- Adding collision detection
- Making the animation smoother. To do this Im thinking of adding another
timer but have it set at 100milliseconds to handle the movement between the
main movenet of the cube.. do you think this is possible? - trying to show a
smoother movement So far Ive not had any luck
How is your program going?
