Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

can anyone give me any pointers on how to make nice GUI’s?

since i already have a background in programming (studying applied informatics) i know all the logical coding of java, the so called domain.

but i haven’t seen a lot of GUI, so i’m not able to make a decent gaming gui.
now my question is, what do you guys use to make your gui’s and can you give me any advice how to make thsoe gui’s?

For game GUI, we usually use modified sprite/layer/background, combined with unique fonts. You can also use swing directly, or at least make child class from them to gain functions. There’s also TWL too.

What are you using to render, Java2D or LWJGL?
