Nice sites with Java

Here are some cool Java stuff in the web. These are mostly games. We shall not bother much about writing game applets in our course. We shall learn "serious" java, but still looking at java games often helps to elucidate ideas, and in fact the game programs are often much more complicated than the "serious" things.

www.javaonthebrain.com: Good site with some simple but nice games written in Java. Also, there are some ideas about how "platform dependence" might creep into a Java program. In particular, I like the online rubik cube.
www.freearcade.com: A huge collection of Java games. Not all are great, though! But some certainly are. The animation of the arcade game Wiz3 is really nice.
aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/Geometry/Geometry.html: Prof David Joyce has written this applet to go with the online version of Euclid's famous book the Elements. This is a lot simpler than the game applets.
www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/3457251: Here's an applet that teaches you FFT interactively. The Java code is explained step by step in the second half of the article. (You may have to skip over explanations about what FFT is etc)
