Jupiter Defense

[Paul]

Today I helped someone out with a Java method for calculating alignments needed for a 3D auto-navigation system.  Here is a basic applet demonstrating the concept:


3D Auto-Navigation Example


Now that it's working, I've decided to incorporate it into an applet game concept I came up with a few years ago and just never got around to finishing.  Here's what it looks like so far (prior to the auto navigation system to control the enemy ship):


Jupiter Defense  (Mouse left-drag moves gun, right-click shoots)


I'd like to finish this game up now that I can make the enemy ships navigate intelligently toward a given target.  Something fun to work on as a simple side-project.

I think you have a really big hit on your hands if you actually finish it. I've been hoping you'd come back to game development.
