GameLoop without Animator

OpenGL Development
#1

I guys, I’m starting to learn openGL for java with Jogl 2.0, and one thing that I can’t find is a good gameLoop example without the use of the Animator class.
Can u guys show me some good examples with Jogl 2.0 for a gameloop? And if its possible, show where I can find good tutorials for game development using jogl 2.0 for 2D graphics.
Thanks!

Hi

You can make a simple loop that calls GLEventListener.display(), I’m going to find an example about that…

Unfortunately, there are only a few tutorials for JOGL 2.0 but you can easily adapt “old” tutorials using JOGL 1.1.1a.

Have you looked at our wiki?

Edit.: I don’t use any animator in the alpha version of TUER, I do something like this:

while (running) {
//update the data…

  glEventListener.display();

}

Why do you want to avoid using an Animator? It almost does the same thing and it is easier.
