PIJ: Powder In Java
-
Welcome to P-I-J: Powder In Java!
This is my attempt at cloning The Powder Toy in Java, my favourite programming language. Since 2012 I have been modding, and now that I think I have a good enough grasp of how TPT works, I am seeing if I can make my own working version.

Ehhh, powder in Java? Sounds like lag to me.
-
Yes, but how much lag depends on the efficiency of the code
-
It depends even more on the efficiency of the environment you're using (and the complexity of the problem obviously). While C/C++ adds small to almost none (asm inlining) overhead, the JVM adds tons of abstraction and safety layers.
You could try to use the JNI to call native code, though the call overhead is rather large and data sharing isn't really fast either.Edited once by nucular. Last: 22nd Apr 2015 -
Indeed, which is one of the reasons I chose Java

The JVM is kinda awesome though. Cool of you to use a platform that most things support natively, I wonder if you can port it into Android that way :OIt would be easier to, thats for sure. Might be some slight differences in how the GUI is done, and OpenGL vs OpenGL ES though.

Looks like a great idea, good luck!:D

Perhaps, I haven't ever made anything for Android despite my long history in Java

Thanks!
If anybody wants to try an early version of what I have so far, go here.
