Hi Chris,
Impressive game written in Java3D. However I run into trouble with
hang after a while. A look at the stack trace suggest it is
doing Switch setWhichChild() in geometryArray updateData()
callback which is supposed to use only for updating Geometry Data
and nothing else.
This exploit bug 4686527
- Deadlock between MasterControl and user thread when using ByRef
updateData()
which may not fixed in next release.
Please have your program fix to limit updating geometry only
in geometry updateData() callback.
Another thing is I'm getting:
Starting Out Of Space 1.2a...
Initializing Graphics Subsystems.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at
com.machiatto.outOfSpace.gameMain.GameMain.ChooseBestDisplayMode(GameMain.java:440)

com.machiatto.outOfSpace.gameMain.GameMain.InitializeGraphics(GameMain.java:470)
at
com.machiatto.outOfSpace.gameMain.GameMain.init(GameMain.java:781)
at
com.machiatto.outOfSpace.gameMain.GameMain.main(GameMain.java:831)
when running under Solaris and the data file is hardcode to use the
one under
c:/oss/meshes/
Anyway it is an interesting game with cool effect. Good work !
