The knowledge is absolutely integral.Įdit: You might want to look into Slick2D, I've been hearing a bit about it recently so it must have some things going for it. You cannot be a first-rate game developer without knowing OpenGL, simple as that. I know it's very complex and also very difficult to learn outside of a structured environment, but OpenGL and DirectX are both something that every game dev needs to have working knowledge of, if not comprehensive knowledge. I really think you should take the time to learn OpenGL. This is because it exposes the parts of OpenGL that need to be exposed while also remaining much more convenient to use than LWJGL. However, in terms of actually doing dev work I think LibGDX is more efficient. This is because LWJGL is just a binding to the OpenGL API in Java, whereas LibGDX is much higher level, and abstracts away a lot of the nitty-grittiness of OpenGL/LWJGL. Should I learn LWJGL or LibGDX? Also, if anyone could link me to a good tutorial, I'd be eternally grateful. As a programmer, I suppose that I'm more used to a lighter-weight library, but I've never tried incorporating so many built-in routines into a game like in LibGDX.
JAVA LWJGL JUMP CODE
Yesterday I installed LibGDX and started a video tutorial series on making a simple game, but there's so much boilerplate code and SO MANY built-in classes that you use that I'm kind of overwhelmed by the number of things I'm supposed to use. I installed LWJGL a while ago but got stuck on the graphics part (never done OpenGL before), got discouraged, and went back to Processing. I'm trying to teach myself a better library than Processing that's more advanced, open to 3D, and runs faster. I want to get the speed of a game written in C++, but code in Java. I started to notice that everything I did in Processing felt a little clunkier than my games in C++ (simply due to the speed of the program). I've made games in C++ and more recently Java (with Processing).
