Scenario outside Greenfoot

Hello I'm actually working with the Microsoft Kinect Camera. I got the example Programm to work in Greenfoot. Now I wanted to ask if it is possible to run the Scenario outside of Greenfoot. Maybe a Mainclass with a Frame or something? I tried it and got only a bunch of NullPointerException^^ I need to get it to run in Netbeans since I have there the NoDave Java programm to work with SPS systems and bunch of other stuff. greets B00bietrap

There is an option in Greenfoot to export to a standalone application, which allows you to run your scenario in a fairly minimal window. But I think what you're asking is to run the Kinect parts completely outside Greenfoot in a different Java project. This should work fine; nothing in the Java parts of the Greenfoot-Kinect interface are Java specific (you'll still need to run the Greenfoot-Kinect server application alongside your other project). You just need to take the four Kinect classes (KinectClient, Joint, UserData, Point3D) to a new project, and create and update the KinectClient as KinectWorld does: create a KinectClient, and call kinect.update() each frame (after checking kinect.isConnected()). If that doesn't work, please post the exceptions you're getting here and I'll see if I can help. Although, obviously by then it's only tangentially related to Greenfoot...

Lemme see.... I'm not sure how to get something visible. :S I made a file KinectWorld. There i make: KinectClient kinect = new KinectClient(); in main method so i can cal anywhere .isConnected and .update Do I have to create a Frame or something to add the visualisation somehow?

I have atm something like this (It might be totally wrong): I have actually no idea where to get and where to set the "UserImg" ..... Tried Frame and Applet so far.....

Edit: Actually I just wand somehow the same view Like in Greenfoot.... but I guess I'm too stupid for that atm... Made now A Class with a Panel... Mainclass that shows my Panel.. which is empty... did draw a rectangle to check if it's working at all :p .. it does^^ How I get the Thumbnail or the UserImage which are GreenfootImages into my Panel? Then I see if it I am really connected with the Kinect Cam. I think with that Program I could now get infos from the "UserData" class and draw with them something on my Panel... Or am I totally wrong again?

Edit: I did look a bit through the exampel. I see how it's communicating and hoe to get positions of a hand or so... I just don't get it in a Window to see anything^^ I try atm to work on the Original KinectWorld class.... did insert a main methode into it and made a instance of itself and started act(); just getting NullPointerException ..... blargh xD

Since it seems that you don't want to do this in Greenfoot, but entirely outside, a Greenfoot forum might not be the best place to ask for advice. I'd suggest that you find a Kinect development forum - you might get further there.

It's more or less just a experiment for this Kinect. the minigames i have in greenfoot and it's fine there. I just tried to expand the kinect with all my other stuff in Netbeans. And it's not toally out of greenfoot, still using the same classes system and library. I just try to run it without an additional software this time.
