Hey, new to the forums so hey! Loved the activation question with some source code
I'm quite experienced with Java programming in general however OpenGL/DirectX programming is totally new to me. I'd like to be able to make a 2D game and apply particle effects, shading and fog etc. How would I approach this since there is not much in terms of tutorials/documentation suggesting how to implements 2D JOGL with games? Should I purchase a pure OpenGL book? From what I've seen most books don't cover gaming aspects and cover a lot of 3D which I'm not interested in at this point in time.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
