WebToy
Voted the best Political Simulation by Chasers War on Everything. Actually we just made that up.
The game objective is to use John Howard to stop Peter Costello, and those IR balls, from getting off the bottom of the screen, and bounce them back across the country. Pretty much what has happened in real life.
Left and Right cursor for walking John direction. Down cursor stops John. ESC, Q or Ctrl-C to quite. Space to start next game.
Interim silliness inspired by early chapters from Killer Game Programming in Java. 280x240 pixel game area, using MOD playback instead of MIDI. Requires just the standard Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 .

WebToy version 1.1 . In windows "open this file from current location" or save to disc and double click on .jar file to run .

DRAG RACE - Top Alcohol Funny Car
Reaction time, Dutch Courage, burnouts, explosions, luck and roaring
humor. In this class of racing, the cars are pretty unstable. A hard rock soundtrack and 3000hp at 9500rpm in a 2225lb car.
It is a PDA size ( 215 x 250 pixel) Swing Application based around a variable burn out, reaction time, and an engine/car/tires/track simulation with 3D toon rendered branching animation.
You have 3 rounds. Play against yourself for best ET and MPH.
We have a networked version of this working with a PHP and mySQL backend. Stay Tuned. Here is a sample output of the DatasBase being developed.. We have also developed a Windows VC++ Simulator Application to model engine
RPM vs Torque, car weight, transmission gear rations and tire slip for the game.
Nothing can replicate what the real machines make you feel... which is a lot of what high end Drag Racing is about. A realistic simulator is dull to play, so we are attempting to make this different.

OZ POLITICK
Political absurdity as a Java application. Simple Arcade action. The Political Machine consists of a launcher to fire politicians at issues spread across the land.
A Politician can bounce, due to the generated surrounding reality distortion field, up to 4 times around the map. Issues take some number of impacts to be removed. Kissing babies earns bonus points. There is a time limit and different politicians have different impact on issues.
You need to remove all issues at each level. Higher the Score, the better.
After application starts, click on window with mouse to to send key presses its way, then cursor UP or SPACE to fire, and cursor LEFT and RIGHT to aim.
Coming soon.
Stock/Fund Tracker
Invest a fictional $100K in 10 stocks and see how they go over 4 weeks, in realtime. Real stocks, real stock prices, but not real money. Can do the same thing and tie it into self funded super. Eductional and fun?
Java Tools
Currently using J2SE and the JCreator IDE for standalone application development. JCreator is fast and "just like" Visual Studio.
You need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 to run the applications on this page.
Investigating Sun Java Wireless Toolkit and Nokia's SNAP Mobile Client SDK for PDAs and Mobile Phones.

Any similarity to John Howard and Peter Costello is pure coincidence. Others to be added, dependent on interest, and paying work.
