Substance of Code

I finally upgraded my phone from N80 to E71. The new Nokia E71 is a really nice. Even the Symbian S60 feels much better now that the phone has enough memory to run it. Operating system still has not changed that much compared to my first smart phone, Nokia 7650 which I had in 2002. [...]

I’ve been on summer vacation for three weeks now and I still have one more week to go. It has been quite an excellent weather on a Finnish scale as the sun has been shining the whole time (okay maybe there were a few rainy days, but still…). My son has taken care that all [...]

It was time to wipe out all the business logics and architecture designs from my mind for a few minutes and to code something refreshing. Here is the result. The applet renders nice 3d model in real time with a little transparency effect. I wrote the base code for this applet few years ago [...]

Here is a new applet that renders nice flames in real time. The applet precalculates the color palette that is used on flame rendering.
The downloadable package includes the NetBeans 4.1 project files along with compiled class files. Check it out over here.

I have added a new Wormz game applet to my applet collecion. I have coded this game a few years ago, but I thought that it was so nice piece of code that I should publish it on my current website. The game is a simple worm game where you control a worm with your [...]

I have added a new Light Rays Java applet to my applet collection. The applet renders rays of light through a bitmap mask and the result looks quite nice. Go ahead to my applets section and view the applet. The source code is also available in a downloadable package..

I have added a new Doughnut applet to my applet collection. The applet uses lambert flat shading, double buffering and Z sorting to produce nice 3D doughnut. Go ahead to my applets page and view the applet. I also included the source code in the downloadable package if you are interested in some oldskool programming.

You can find my new (or should I say rereleased) Plasma applet from Applets section. The applet creates plasma effect with two precalculated color tables. The precalculated tables use sin and cos functions to generate beautiful plasma-like image. The precalculated color table is also used to fine tune the rendered result. Source code is included [...]

I was once again able to make a few additions to my home page. This time I added the Applets page. I will use that page as a showcase to present my Java applets. Please go and have a look at the first entry: Fractal Zoomer.
