The Java Sphere is written in the Java language.

It uses a rotation matrix to calculate new vertices for all faces as the mouse moves.

The shading of the sphere uses the vector normal of each face compared to a vector between the viewers eye and the center of the sphere.

Faces pointing away from the viewer are not painted.

Flickering has been eliminated by using double buffering.
