Ok guys, I've just finished my tutorial about making a 2D pong game with LWJGL. For the moment, it's only available in PDF format. You can grab the tutorial here : http://chman.kaioa.com/blog/lwjgl/GLPong.pdf And the source code here : http://chman.kaioa.com/blog/lwjgl/GLPong.zipIf you find any mistakes, please tell it, I would be please to make this tutorial better ! Chman Edit: source link, thanks to Simon ! |

 I just browsed through your tutorial! Nice work! Just what a noob ( like me  ) needs to get started in both games and LWJGL programming. But I guess you screwed the link for the source code... It points to your pdf tutorial file... |
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

It looks nice and complete from the initial skimming, but I don't think I like that LWJGL is encouraged to be installed in the JRE/JDK directory. I'd much rather prefer directions on how to use -Djava.library.path and instructions on adding lwjgl.jar to the classpath. It will make it easier to distribute LWJGL for the game developer in the long run and isn't that much harder.

Elias you're absolutly right, but I don't want to bother a beginner with many command parameters... The way I make people install LWJGL is for coding purpose only. I will make a special tutorial on how to distribute LWJGL games (with and without webstart). Right now I'm writing another tutorial to make the pong game better (I plan two others pong tutorials : making the game time-based and another with point counting and drawing the score on screen). If you have any recommandation for another beginner tutorial, tell me here or PM me  Chman |

Thanks to all ! I've nearly finished the second tutorial but I won't be at home tomorrow, so don't expect it before this week end... About posting my tutorial on JGF, I don't have time to convert the all thing to HTML, so if someone want to do it, I can send him the OpenOffice formated document Chman |

Good Work Hope that more people will dig into LWJGL, as the Documentation is the most worse part. - Jens |

It's me again Finally, I've just finished the second tutorial, which explains how to make a FPS counetr and how to use it to make the game time-based. You'll find the PDF and the source package at the bottom of my lwjgl demos/tutorials page : Clicky. This tutorial is way smaller than the previous one, but I think it's very important to know how to make games time-based and not frame-based. A third article is on the way !  Chman |

About posting my tutorial on JGF, I don't have time to convert the all thing to HTML, so if someone want to do it, I can send him the OpenOffice formated document Chman Whatever you do, don't do that! . We don't have ANYTHING in HTML. Everything is in a small subset of XHTML. You just used properly-closed P, I, B, U, A, and IMG tags. |

Love the tut. Question: I am using the following code to load a texture on the ball (just to see if I can) 1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
| glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex2i((int)(locationX - 10), (int)(locationY + 10));
glVertex2i((int)(locationX - 10), (int)(locationY - 10));
glVertex2i((int)(locationX + 10), (int)(locationY - 10));
glVertex2i((int)(locationX + 10), (int)(locationY + 10));
glEnd(); |
Unfortunately I only ever get white. Where am I dying? M |

Have you enabled GL_TEXTURE_2D ? if not, just type that in the init code : 1
| glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); |

You'll also need to specify texture coordinates for each vertex - search Google for glTexCoord2f.

cfmdobbie is right. If you encounter others problems with textures, take a look at the LWJGL demos on my webpage, it could help you : here Chman edit: there's one called "AWT Texture Loading" that could help you. |
