Need a good LWJGL tutorial.
I want to make games in java but I can't find any *good* tutorials on the internet. They're all outdated, use a special library or cannot get as advanced as making an image appear.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: Need a good LWJGL tutorial.
You could try starting with Processing if you want to get the semantics down and want to focus on image based stuff, to start with.

No. I said WITH JAVA, not "I want to make games". I can do that in Scratch. I also already know java.

Well, there's a series of jMonkey3 tutorials, a great 3D gaming engine complete with physics, ray casting, etc. It's also based off of LWJGL. I don't actually know Java really, but I've been translating the tutorials to jRuby.
Google it.

Thanks, but I've seen it and it doesn't look that great, also I'm looking for 2d. I need LWJGL tutorials, not recommendations for engines or other languages.

Oh, okay. I was suggesting that because Processing is built up on top of Java.

Have you tried a search engine? Maybe this will help.
I have, and that's what I've come up with. I found a good book on it though. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

I found a nice 2D library (again, built on top of LWJGL) called Slick2D. It's pretty lightweight (not one of those hulking giants that eat up all your processing power for a simple hello world app) and also lets you use LWJGL functions if you really need to. Try it out! The community is friendly too.
Google it. Offline
