jPCT 3D Asteroids!

[Remo]

Ok so I started to work on my jPCT project.
Its more like a demo of jPCT and jinput working together. So its basically a joystick test.
You will NEED a joystick for this thing to work (unless you modify the source code included).
The game is going to be based on the old Asteroids game.
Im having some problems figuring out some stuff but at least I got something to work hehe.
Its my first app with jPCT so dont go that hard on me!.


Anyway, here's the file:

I already have some ideas for a better management such as using a list insted of an array to process asteroids so I can dinamically add or remove asteroids.
Im starting to work on an Asteroid radar also. And some other stuff...

Well I would apreciate some feedback.

Thanks! A great oportunity for the rest to learn from source code

will check it and give feedback soon

Could not find enough components to launch Asteroids. Aborting

I've two USB-Competition attached. Does it matter that they are digital sticks?

Digital devices are not a problem.
The problem is on my side. I think the problem may be that I forced the joystick to use Z axis and Z rotation for the aplication to work and not all joysticks have that (should have tought of that ).
I will change that along with some other things to get a more friendly way to deal with it.

Hopefully I will have it today (my today! gmt  -6).


Edit:
Ok. I only cutted the forced Z and RZ axis. Im still working on some other stuff but you should be able to try it now Egon.
