Sofware Specification

When we go through the research we look at the environment design related to the project. This projects` main target is to interact with the movement of the user in real time. As the project requirement, this interaction should reflect via a high graphical interface. So we look at several choices and did some testing to ensure the ability of available resources.
We consider following choices
• XNA
• Crytec
• JMonkey
XNA
XNA is a framework is developed based on native implementation of .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows. The framework runs on a version of the Common Language Runtime that is optimized for gaming to provide a managed execution environment. The runtime is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Xbox 360. Since XNA games are written for the runtime, they can run on any platform that supports the XNA Framework with minimal or no modification. Games that run on the framework can technically be written in any .NET-compliant language, but only C# in XNA Game Studio Express IDE and all versions of Visual Studio 2008 are officially supported.
JMonkey
jMonkey Engine (jME) is a high-performance 3D game framework, written entirely in Java. OpenGL is supported via LWJGL, with JOGL support in development. For sound, OpenAL is supported. Input via the keyboard, mouse, and other controllers is also supported. The most important thing in this is, it run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux; true cross-platform thanks to the JavaVM.
Crytect
CryEngine is a high performance 3D game engine developed by crytec and they recently release CryEngine 3 . The new engine is being developed for use on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. As for the PC platform, the engine is said to support development in DirectX 9, 10, and 11. It supports and contains rich graphical usages such as water reflection, Flow graph, Real time soft particle system & integrated FX editor, Road & river tools, Vehicle creator, Real time dynamic global illumination, Deferred lighting, Natural lighting & dynamic soft shadows
We do compare above technologies and came up with JME which is platform independent. When consider XNA it supports only to windows and Xbox. And when comparing the maturity levels of the XNA and JME, JME shows much efficient and effective performance. Cry engine is one of greatest 3D game engine in terms of detailing. But it need certain level of hardware requirement and it is in the commercial market. So we look at JME which stand alone in both cases.
