Package details
The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) is a solution aimed
directly at professional and amateur Java programmers alike to
enable commercial quality games to be written in Java. LWJGL
provides developers access to high performance crossplatform
libraries such as OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) and OpenAL
(Open Audio Library) allowing for state of the art 3D games
and 3D sound. Additionally LWJGL provides access to controllers
such as Gamepads, Steering wheel and Joysticks. All in a simple
and straight forward API.
LWJGL is not meant to make writing games particularly easy; it
is primarily an enabling technology which allows developers to
get at resources that are simply otherwise unavailable or poorly
implemented on the existing Java platform. We anticipate that
the LWJGL will, through evolution and extension, become the
foundation for more complete game libraries and 'game engines'
as they have popularly become known, and hide some of the new
evils we have had to expose in the APIs.
LWJGL is available under a BSD license, which means it's open
source and freely available at no charge.
This package has no releases.
