JavaFX and Lars Ulrich of Metallica!

After finally appreciating JavaFX, and now maybe I'll say that JavaFX is damn cool because of this app I just found.

http://www.javafx.me/crudfx/examples/RhytmBox.html

It's a simple JavaFX application, but for Metallica a fan and a Java programmer, this is awesome, haha!

Way better than Winamp (maybe but it's FOSS)

A new player that I use. Better than teenspirit/jaangle and (maybe) way better than Winamp :D
The player is called [b]aTunes[/b].
Website: [link]http://www.atunes.org/[/link]

Quick Overview:
1. Open Source (GNU General Public License).
2. Cross-Platform (Written in Java, my lang of choice :D).
3. Last.fm support (MAL for music fans).
4. Built-in lyrics viewer and album-cover downloader.

Written in Java, it also uses Substance, an open-source super cool Look and Feel Java which I used before :D

Pong game

Yesterday I started to did PulpCore. After a google search for a tutorial, I found a good one from http://blog.alexjeffery.org/.
After I fairly got to understand how pulpcore works, I added my very first AI.



You can play the game here http://thirdy.freehostia.com/pong.html
I've uploaded the complete netbeans project here.

Blink-182 stuffed bunny!

New blink-182 stuff! still prototype though, got it from Mark's blog here,

I left a comment that a Desert Punk doll for Blink-182 would be cool :D
Can't wait for their new album!

Cool Open Source Java Games!

my google searching effort for cool Java open source game stuff has paid off. Very cool enough that I'd make a posting for it here.

First off Pulpcore http://www.interactivepulp.com/pulpcore/



This demo says(IMO), "Java Applets can crush Flash games now". Really cool demo, looks like Doom for kids!

Next off is, Robocode, http://robocode.sourceforge.net/

A game for programmers where you create a Java code for a robot to battle! nice! Every thing is up and running without any pain in setting up, they got good docs too. Here's a screenshot.

The best JavaME article out there

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/community/docs/DOC-2594#cf

I finally got our thesis prototype working because of this article. Although I didn't read it haha because I skipped and jumped into the demo code. The code is very clean and nicely done! I spent two sleepless nights trying to make video recording using the WMA API and it's working, very fullfilling!
My biggest weapon I forged from this experience is the use of catching RuntimeExceptions. Really helped in my bug catching missions~

Finally back to start posting again here. I finally found some very good mp3 tag other than gmusicbrowser(Linux).
TagScanner

Mp3Tag

TagScanner is better, at least it's ui is not a hogger as it looks.
