The built-in library is easy to use and very portable, but it doesn't have as many features as some other libraries and doing a lot of complex drawing can slow it down considerably. A good library I've done a bit of coding with is the Slick 2D game library. It's no harder to use than the built-in graphics library, it's faster, and it has more features (loading/rendering different image types). It's also got support for other things you'll probably want while designing your game (input handling, sound, collision detection). The nicest thing about Slick is how active the guy writing it is in the community. I've talked to him personally several times on the Slick 2D forums, and he'll gladly offer advice if you run into any problems. Some other Java game libraries (that I have not tried): http://www.goldenstudios.or.id/products/GTGE/ http://java.dnsalias.com/ http://easyway.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/spgl http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasel/ http://www.stencyl.com/about/ http://www.13thmonkey.org/~boris/jgame/ http://www.interactivepulp.com/pulpcore/

I think it even works with spheres and polygons, I don't remember but any subclass of the shape in .awt has the intersect() method. I would recommend SDL because C is much more strong.

Java has SDL bindings, as does just about every other language. Don't get me wrong, C is great, but Java is more of a "holds your hand" language and would probably be easier for beginner programmers.

Basically the line in it that interested me is one of the colleges stopped introducing JAVA as a beginner language when the EE students could out program the CS students. I don't think a language where you rummage around a proverbial toolchest looking for something that does what you want is a good beginner language, in fact the whole idea of OOP is the next level of basic programming of... well basic! or C but the Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code or whatever it stands for- the first letter stands for Beginner. OOPs the stuff you learn next. This post has been edited by WolfCoder: 15 Jun, 2008 - 03:00 PM
