3D Particles

By Sean Luke
[Requires Java3D]

A 3D version of the bouncing-particles example from Tutorial 3.

Note: Due to flaws in Java3D, 3D Particles requires a tremendous amount of memory to visualize and quite some time to start and stop. If the program fails from an out-of-memory error, see the README provided with the simulation.


From Tutorial 3: An example of 2D particles bouncing around on a grid. When particles intersect, they each choose a random direction to go (including staying put). Particles bounce off the wall and leave trails.
