This site is a random collection of JavaFX applets and WebStart demos. Hopefully, as time permits, I'l add more examples. spanning different types of application. I'll also post the full source code, and all necessary resources needed to build the code yourself — once I've had a chance to comment it and make it presentable.

In the course of writing JavaFX in Action I created a lot of demos and assorted other pieces of code which, ultimately, never made it into the book. Some were just experiments, coding doodles to see is a particular scene graph technique worked, or how CPU/GPU hungry a given effect was. Others did end up in the book, but in a dramatically scaled down form.

It seemed a shame to just discard all this code, as some of it might be of interest to fellow JavaFX coders. So I've tidied it up, ported it to the latest JavaFX release (if necessary), and dumped it here.

Bubble Bath
A quick demo to experiment with the JavaFX scene graph.
 
  

Kakuro
Thought Sudoku was addictive? Try Kakuro!
 
  

3D Maze
Explore this Dungeon Master style 3D maze.
 
  

Wipe Library
A library for animating between parts of the scene graph.
 
  

Java Inside?
A joke animation, lasting approx 10 seconds. WARNING: the first Web Start link will request permission to run — the app needs access to the screen's pixel data. If you don't like granting permission to strange apps, the second (green) link runs an alternative, less fancy, version.
 
  

Physics demos
A few tests that merge JavaFX's scene graph nodes with a 2D physics engine, to create a new breed of physical nodes.
 

Wipe Demo
Smart phone style demo, using (and testing) the Wipe library.
 
  

Photo Ripple
Just a bit of fun messing about with an image.
 
  

Video Ripple
Just a bit of fun messing about with a cat.
