@HeelX: Looks really interesting!

This weekend i read something about OpenCL and wanted to try some stuff. Here is the result:
Realtime GPU Raytracing

At what speed (fps)?

>700

atm it's about 100 FPS, but completly unoptimized and stuff

How many rays per pixel?

in the picture one, in my current implementation 2

but i just tried to create the raytracer as a stable base for my pathtracer.
maybe it won't be realtime but for sure it will be way faster than the current CPU implementation.

700 ms rendertime, global illumination, renderdepth of 10, 20 samples per pixel

okay, small update:
renderdepth 10, 5000 samples per pixel

Arising is a classic RTS.

I`ve created it some years ago for JavaME mobiles phone, but never managed to finish it.
So here is a port to standard Java.

It does not have all missions integrated. (I could do that if i find the time)

here the applet version:
http://rtsmaker.com/arisingApplet.html

and the standalone jar: http://rtsmaker.com/arising.jar  (720kb)

and a very nicely edited webpage: http://rtsmaker.com/








I will work a bit more on the controls and implement sound-fx.
Until now it has still more of an alpha status.

Technical info:  it uses plain normal Java2D, with some wrappers for the original JavaME code.
Most of the work was to move it from keypad controls to mouse+keyboard.

Most of the graphics (terrain, units) where made in WED and then rendered isometrically and with
shadows + some GIMP editing. Was somehow the quickest way for me to make them.

The first missions are unlocked, and (since there is not save feature) the others can be restarted with
a "secret" levelcode you can look up when finishing a mission. (so 1990)

I appreciate you posting any annoying bugs and issues you find.

nice rts game, just did a short trial.
the applet is flickering when I have to scroll up/down because of my 1366x768 resolution.
