PROJECT FILM / ZONGO MAQUTU
Water moving across Java Swing terrain
See water propagate across grayscale terrain in a Java Swing simulation built around shared state, worker threads and layered rendering.
What the film shows
- Terrain elevations appear as a grayscale image.
- Blue water cells propagate across the terrain.
- The Swing renderer combines terrain and water image layers.
Behind the demonstration
A capture of the original renderer with isolated boundary and thread-visibility repairs. The project notes explain the shared-state limitations; this is not a fluid-dynamics benchmark.
