<h2>About This Content</h2>
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://lwjgl.org">Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL)</a> is a solution aimed
|
|
directly at professional and amateur Java programmers alike to enable <a
|
|
href="projects.php">commercial quality games</a> to be written in Java.
|
|
LWJGL provides developers access to high performance crossplatform
|
|
libraries such as OpenGL (<a href="http://www.opengl.org/"
|
|
target="_blank">Open Graphics Library</a>) and OpenAL (<a
|
|
href="http://www.openal.org" target="_blank">Open Audio Library</a>)
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 <a href="http://java.sun.com" target="_blank">Java
|
|
platform</a>. 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.</p>
|
|
<p>LWJGL is available under a <a href="http://lwjgl.org/license.php">BSD
|
|
license</a>, which means it's open source and freely available at no charge.</p>
|
|
<p>Please visit us on the Freenode IRC Network: <a
|
|
href="irc://irc.freenode.net/lwjgl" target="_blank">#LWJGL</a>. Do idle
|
|
if there is no one to answer any of your questions, we are on different
|
|
timezones.</p>
