Engineer's Day Special - Baggage carousel

Tributes to Mokshagundam Visveswaraya who was born on 15th Sept. This day is celebrated as Engineer's day here in India. My college student who needed to visualize a conveyor belt for his student project to be displayed to people on engineers day sought my help. I did this project for him and it probably got him some confidence in his idea of RFID based tagging of luggage in airports. Here is the project on Conveyor Belt at airports. The application once complete will include RFID sensor and a mobile app which people can launch and see for themselves where on the belt their baggage is located.

BrainVita - Marbles - A Game

This game was originally written by me in C++ and now ported to JOGL. I messed up the array part and was hunting online for errors such as arrayindexoutofbounds exception etc. A click outside the marble area still selects a region where marbles don't exist. I have left such bugs to be sorted out by someone truly interested in making this game production grade.

Ping Pong Balls

I have ported the ping pong balls program to Java OpenGL. Here is the program. As usual the program is not working completely.
The ball collides with the walls and the floor but bounces every time. I meant this as a game of fighting with gravity where the ball falls though the ground and only the tile at the bottom makes it bounce. There are so many unfinished projects in this blog that it will take you quite a lot of time setting things in order. You need to complete these games.
