I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. "99% of site owners are doing these 5 errors". http://bit.ly/tJJczA You will be suprised how simple they are to fix. Your site is pretty cool to me and your topics are very relevant.

The data source (server) is very complex, and if we get the game engine to directly interact with the server, there is a good chance of something going wrong. Having a middle layer that simplifies the data helps to protect the integrity of the server, and also reduces the amount of work Blender has to do to parse the data. Tom,

Why did you use the VB Game Client instead of the Blender's game engine? Hi, Mike

We’re going to do a similar project to this one for school about a Bay here in Mexico using a simulation with Agents that generates data just like the data you use to do the animation, and the purpose of our project is exactly translate this data into something more friendly, so that everyone could see what’s going on in the simulation and not just professionals who can read the numeric data.

Why did you use the VB Game Client instead of the Blender’s game engine?

Then you can sent the data through to Python either via a socket connection, or using PythonDotNet directly to call .NET from Python.

I hope to interface a Wii controller (Wiimote) for use in the Blender game engine and this could be useful info for such a task. I’m very interested in how you did this.

How did you get the caustics on the seafloor and how was the sea surface lighting coming from above made? I'm learning BGE and I'm actually trying to make a simple underwater game... Thank you!

That screen of the app is lookin' really good, too ... any recent videos of it in action? That sounds like an awesome project.

That's mind-numbing indeed. The only phase I could probably understand myself is the Visualization aspect and nothing else. ^_^ Would love to know your process and some descriptions too in your next posts. Thanks. -Reyn Whoa!
